Our Country's History (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Country's History

Realizing that a mere relation. Of dates, names and facts plays only a small part in promoting citizenship, which should be the primary object of history, we have endeavored at least in this book to connect the boys and girls with the great currents that explain and indicate the trend of our country's development. To enable the children to under stand our great achievements, institutions and problems of the present in the light of the past is to enlist their interest in history, to foster patriotism, to make more acute their sense of judgment and to inspire them with a higher degree of civic duty. Hence, in the selection, arrangement and discussion of facts we have kept constantly in mind their bearing on our life and institutions.
