Excerpt from A Letter to American Teachers of History For the same reason, the volume needs no acknowledgment. Unless the questions which it raises or suggests seem to you so personal as to need action, you have probably no other personal interest than that of avoiding the discussion altogether.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... literature knows that the subject is touched by half the books he reads, and that the most popular are the most outspoken. Few volumes are more widely known than M. Gustave Le Bon's "Physiologie des Foules," (1895), which closes with the following paragraph: --"That which formed a people, a unity, a block, ends by becoming an agglomeration of individuals without cohesion, still held together for a time by its traditions and institutions. This is the phase when men, divided by their interests and aspirations, but no longer knowing how to govern themselves, ask to be directed in their smallest acts; and when the State exercises its absorbing influence. With the definitive loss of the old ideal, the race ends by entirely losing its soul; it becomes nothing more than a dust of isolated individuals, and returns to what it was at the start, --a crowd." Under the thinnest veil of analogy the physicist-historian, with scientific calmness, condemns our actual society as he condemns the sun; for the "crowd" which Gustave Le Bon declares to be the end of social evolution is not at all the same "crowd" that made its beginning, and is wholly incapable of doing useful work. Gustave Le Bon is himself a physicist of wide renown, but he is remarkable also as director of the "Bibliotheque de Philosophic Scientifique," the best known of all recent attempts to lighten the load of technical instruction and of scientific baggage. Among the most recent of these admirable volumes is one on "Degradation" (Paris, November, 1908), by M. Bernhard Brunhes, whose position as Director of the Observatory of the Puy de Dome guarantees his competence to narrate the story. In one or two paragraphs, with the lucidity which so often distinguishes French thought from that of...

Excerpt from How to Teach American History: A Handbook for Teachers and Students This volume 1s intended for use as a textbook in normal schools, teacher-training classes, and teachers' institutes, and as a handbook for the teacher and stu dent in school or at home. The principles discussed are believed to be true Of history in general, but the application throughout has been made to American history and to the study and teaching of history in American schools. An effort has been made to have the style simple and intelligible. Technical terms not well settled in common usage have been avoided. A rather close and logical classification by chapters has been attempted, and the book lists have been classified and distributed. It has been my aim throughout to give in the book lists and footnotes information of practical value and to place it where it can be found conveniently. It is hoped that the complete index appended will be found a useful feature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Making of an American School-Teacher A few words only are needed to introduce this little book. If it has any quality of helpfulness, it will Speak for itself better than any preface could do. It was first published serially in the Saturday Evening Post and merits, it is believed, a more permanent form, especially as it touches upon problems of Public School Administration that are of universal concern.

Excerpt from English History in American School Text-Books One of my earliest recollections is that of being taken to see the fireworks which were set off at the pierhead in Ramsgate harbor to celebrate the declaration of peace after the Crimean War. From that time until I went, when quite a young man, into the Gallery of Battles in Versailles - a gallery in which the glories of the French armies are celebrated in acres of canvas by the famous French artist Detaille - I never fully realized that Englishmen had ever been defeated by land or sea. I had been brought up in the belief that one Englishman could beat three Johnny Crapauds. But here all my illusions on that score were shattered at one rude blow, for about one picture in. Every three represented a defeat of the English in either a naval or a military engagement. Then I made up my mind with Sir Robert Walpole, that I would study anything but history, for history must be false. Some such awakening has no doubt come to almost every thinking man or woman who has been brought up on the old methods of teaching the history of their country, whether they be English or American, French or German, Turk or Russian - this no doubt has its effect in inspiring a patriotic feeling; in keeping alive a belief in the invincibleness of one's own nation; a faith in its good star, which has led men on to further victories and inspired them to yet more valorous deeds than their forefathers have performed.

Excerpt from American Public Schools: History and Pedagogics The prominence. Now given to American educational history by the pedagogical departments of universities has led to a similar line of study in many state normal schools. Furthermore, these historical studies have' been emphasized during the past decade by a long series of able and exhaustive papers on the history of our public school system, published in the annual reports of the United States Commissioner of Education, and in special Bulle tins of Information.

Excerpt from The Teaching of American History: With Selected References Designed to Accompany a History of the American Nation This guide or outline has been prepared chie y for teachers who are using the History of the American Nation. Its purpose is to direct them to additional material which Will aid them in the conduct of their work. It is not expected, of course, that all of the books referred to can be studied either by teacher or pupil; but the exact references will, it is hoped, be Of service to those who have not always the time or Opportunity to seek out collateral matter for reading or study. Some selected references are given here and there throughout the History of the American Nation. The references in this guide are, like those in the text, references to readable and authoritative books. Although high-school pupils have been known to use even the most difficult books on constitutional history, it has seemed Wise in the preparation of this guide to refer to such volumes very seldom. In connection with some divisions Of the book suggestions are made concerning what should be emphasized. It may be proper to remind the teacher that a few salient thoughts and principles can be dwelt upon in every lesson, and if he is sure that one or two car dinal ideas and a few prominent facts are impressed on his pupil's mind each day, the ultimate results are likely to be better than if an effort is made to grasp everything as if all were of equal im portance. Doubtless the pupil can be brought to learn a great many facts; but the teacher should be sure that the chief lesson of any group of facts is not only learned but remembered. I may venture also to suggest that the teacher can greatly vital ize the subject by bringing into the class - room good pictures of persons, buildings, or scenes, which Will amplify the illustrative matter of the text.

Excerpt from Methods of Teaching History This book was intended to be the first of a series entitled a Pedagogical Library, devoted to methods of teaching, one volume of which was to be occupied with each of the more important branches of instruction in grammar and high schools. The design and plan of the work was not to produce systematic treatises, and still less to develop anything ultimate or absolute in method; but to gather together, in the form most likely to be of direct practical utility to teachers, and especially students and readers of history, generally, the opinions and modes of instruction, actual or ideal, of eminent and representative specialists in each department. The present volume has been an unremunerated work of love on the part of each writer, and the appearance of subsequent volumes in the series is not yet assured. It should be added that the articles arc printed in the order in which they were received by the editor. Teachers in whom a methodic interest has been awakened will find many useful hints in the following books, pamphlets, and articles: - Georg Goufried Gervinus. Gruudzuge der Historik. Leipzic, 1837. pp. 95. F. Jacobi. Grundzuge einer neuen Methode fur den vaterlandischen Geschichtsunterricht in deutschen Schulen. Nurnberg, 1839.
