As this dependence one upon the other is evident, is it not best to begin them together? Will not this early connection of the two make the study clearer to the child in after years? And, as all teachers know, when introducing any sub j ect, we begin with an object or a thought which is familiar to the children; so it follows that the geography and history of the land over which the little child walks every day, of the hills, valleys and streams which he sees from his own window, is the proper introduction to the geography and history of the world. Another and more important thought presents itself. The true patriot must first be true to his own home. So by fostering, in the right way, a love for home, we are strength ehing a broad patriotism. The children of the British Isles have for hundreds of years learned first at their mother's knee of heroic deeds done at their own doors. After that they have learned their country's history. This has given them a respect for their own people and a belief in themselves which has helped to make their nation a world force. We forget this. In our own history stories we tell our children of great things that occurred in other countries; or, if within the limits of our own country, a thousand miles, or perhaps more, from Nashville. But why neglect our own? We, too, have much to tell that is important to our national history. Even if we did not, it were still pedagogically correct to begin at home.
