Book excerpt: Excerpt from Topical Discussion of American History: Constituting a Teachers' Manual and Course of Study in History and Civics for Use in the Elementary Schools This little volume is a working manual for the teacher and constitutes a course in history and civics for the elementary schools. Many able educators have been consulted in the prepara tion of this course, and it is believed to be so complete in every detail that boards of education can adopt it as the course in his tory and civics without further reference to these subjects in the school manual or regular course of study. This course has been prepared with especial reference to the regular text-books. Teach ers and pupils frequently complain that the regular or official text on history is too difficult, and it is hoped that this course will be of great assistance to them in the use of this text. The dis cussions, references and questions in this volume are intended for the direct help and assistance of the teacher, the object being to reduce the teacher's work to a minimum and to provide at the same time a broad and progressive course in history and civics. In order to further ass'i'st'the teacher, a pupil's outline for use in connection with this course of study has been prepared and is bound under a separate cover. Special attention is directed to Questions for Class Recitations and Questions for Composi tions and Examinations, which follow each general topic or chapter in the work for the seventh and eighth grades. A few years ago it would have been necessary to have accom panied this little volume with an explanatory word regarding the nature of the work for which it provides. Happily, that time is now passed, for nearly all the better teachers and schools in the United States are now doing the work for which the course of study herein outlined makes specific provision. The com bining of the work in civics with that on history is one of the most valuable features of this course, and a feature which has been thoroughly tested in the schools of the East with most satis factory results.
