1914, BY D, APPLETON AND COMPANY PREFACE It is now common in all
schools to require pupils to pre pare papers on assigned fopics or
to do a certain amount of reading in addition to the lesson in the
text-book. There ap pearsto be no difference of opinion among
teachers con cerning the value of this collateral reading and study
it re leases the pupil from bondage to the text, widens his view,
and gives him training in the handling of material. There are
often, however, difficulties in obtaining books to be used in this
way, and it is especially difficult to get books covering a large
portion of the field moreover, even when a school is pro vided with
a reference library, the illustrative material is not always found
without unreasonable effort. This volume of selections is not
offered in expectation that it will entirely take the place of .
the school library in American history, but with the hopes that it
will be of service where schools are - not possessed of reference
books and that in any case - the selec tions will wisely amplify
and illuminate the text-book and will make it possible to require a
certain amount of work out side the text withqut placing
unnecessarily heavy burdens on the pupil. Even if these selections
are not used as the basis of definite oral or written reports, the
pupils-will, it is to be hoped, find them interesting and readable.
This volume does not pretend to be a thoroughly balanced
presentation of materials on American history, a volume in which
each portion of the field receives its just and adequate share of
attention such a thoroughly balanced volume may De desirable, but a
book like this, intended to be used in con nection with a
text-book, rather than independently, need not be so formidable in
its content or so precise ii its disposition of space...
