Excerpt from First Lessons in American History In this text I have told the story of America as I think it ought to be presented to beginners. Since children are always interested in the lives of the great, I have treated the subject on its biographical side. The story centers around the men who have been leaders in American life. But the book is more than a mere series of bio graphies; it is in a true sense a history of our country's growth.

Excerpt from First Lessons in Our Country's History The extension of the study of United States History the lower grades of our schools has suggested the need of a class-book fitted to their wants. Of histories which the child may read by the mother's knee there is no lack; but this is not what is required for school study, which must not only convey impressions, but impart a certain amount of available knowledge. In the present manual, the author has sought to supply this want. In doing so, he has aimed at two things as desirable: - The first is, to bring out to prominent view the salient points of our country's history, and such only. In so great a mass of details, selection was necessary; for when thousands of facts are put before the child's mind, and everything is made equally important, it simply results that everything becomes equally unimportant. Hence the author has endeavored to apply the principles of historical perspective to his treatment, - to subordinate minutiæ of date and place and number and circumstance, and bring to the foreground prominent and vital facts. The second thing the author has aimed at is, to be simple in the mode of presentation without falling into the prevalent sin of children's histories, to wit, silliness in point of matter.

Many important incidents are illustrated by appropriate engrav ings, and six well-drawn maps, engraved on steel and col ored, are inserted to aid the pupil in locating the scenes and events described. At the close of the volume is a series of questions, which may be used by the teacher in conducting examinations, or by the learner to ascertain whether he has mastered his lesson. The Chronological Table has been prepared with great care, and contains, besides the topics treated in this book, many others of interest and importance connected with American History.

Excerpt from Our Country's History Realizing that a mere relation. Of dates, names and facts plays only a small part in promoting citizenship, which should be the primary object of history, we have endeavored at least in this book to connect the boys and girls with the great currents that explain and indicate the trend of our country's development. To enable the children to under stand our great achievements, institutions and problems of the present in the light of the past is to enlist their interest in history, to foster patriotism, to make more acute their sense of judgment and to inspire them with a higher degree of civic duty. Hence, in the selection, arrangement and discussion of facts we have kept constantly in mind their bearing on our life and institutions.
