Excerpt from History and Government of the United States, for Evening Schools
The purpose of this textbook is not only to present intern esting and instructive accounts of our American history and of our political institutions, but also to introduce the superior students of evening schools to some of the fundamental prin. Ciples of our social and business conditions. The maturity of such students in years and in experience necessitates a presentation of American a airs decidedly different from that in ordinary day-school textbooks. An experience of many years in several cities in teaching this important subject in evening classes has led me to prepare a text that is somewhat unlike any other both in its nature and in the range of its topics. Intending to deal with matters that the evening-school student desires and needs to know, I have assumed that the reading and study of the text would be accompanied by skill ful supplementary instruction by the zealous teachers of these interesting classes.
The especial value of American history and civil govern ment in evening schools is due to two facts: that many of the students are foreign-born or children of the foreign-born, aux ious to know the story of our country; and that most of them will soon be voters, who ought to know at least as much as these pages contain. Of these students, few have attended day school long enough to reach courses in American history. I have known many cases where foreigners entered city even~ ing schools within a day or two of their arrival.
This text is one of several in a series successfully used in many cities. It is now presented in a thoroughly revised edition.
