Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short History of Pennsylvania The purpose of this little book is to provide the boys and girls in the schools of Pennsylvania with a brief and clear account of the origin and growth of our state and its institutions. Believing that history is not merely past politics, but past life, the writer has tried to place due emphasis upon every phase of that life - social, industrial, political, intellectual, and religious. It has been his aim to state the principles upon which Pennsylvania was founded, to trace the steady growth of the state from small beginnings to its present imperial greatness, and to introduce the men, many of them well-nigh forgotten, who were the makers of that greatness. Just a word to those who may study and teach this book. Parrot-like memorizing is the most serious fault in much of our history teaching. The poorest use to make of any text-book in history is to commit it to memory. The first thing to do in studying the history lesson is to read it. Reading is thinking the authors thought after him. No one can do that without understanding the words and phrases in which the author expresses that thought. Hence, in assigning the lesson, the teacher should explain and illustrate the use of any words or statements in it that the children cannot get for themselves. Before reciting, the pupils should ask their teacher the meaning of any words or expressions in the lesson which they may not have understood when they studied it.
