Book Description

Excerpt from American Beginnings in Europe History, it has been wisely said, finds its greatest practical value in bringing about the moral revelation of the world in the mind of the child. In organizing the facts of history with the achievement of this moral revelation in view, that material should be selected which the pupil can appreciate and understand, which will be most conducive to his moral and intellectual growth, and which will be most helpful in explaining his life in its relation to the lives of his fellows. With the purpose of thus making history an applied study this book has been written. The plan is based upon the outline prepared by the Committee of Eight for Grade VI, and in the main it follows this outline somewhat closely. As the author was a member of that committee, he has had the best possible opportunity to know just what is the scope of the work which the outline was intended to cover. Moreover, after this report was issued he made out for the schools of Springfield, Mass., of which he was superintendent, a course of study in history for Grade VI which was much like that made out for the same grade by the committee.
