Book Description
Excerpt from History for Graded and District Schools "Truth is one! And in all lands beneath the sun, Whoso has eyes to see may see The tokens of its unity." The purpose of this book is to present a framework of history for the graded and district schools; that is, for children from six to about fifteen years of age. The effort has been made to present the material in such connection throughout the grades that it would gradually develop in pupils' minds the idea of the unity of history, and thus finally lead them to feel that history is an unbroken stream of life, of which the present in general, and their lives in particular, constitute an important part. It is not thought that the material presented here for each grade will be entirely sufficient for teachers who have exceptional advantages for carrying on primary history work. It is intended as a general framework, furnishing, perhaps, the greater part of the material which the teacher having all the grades will be able to teach, but which the teacher having but one or two grades and good library advantages should use to build and to enlarge upon, according to particular circumstances.
