Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Manual and Course of Study, Elementary Schools It is not a painted rag; it is a whole national history. - Beecher. The St. Nicholas flag will suggest many interesting exercises. If possible a large flag should be procured; at least place the outlines of one upon the blackboard, coloring while studying. With primary pupils give a few leading facts connected with the history of the colony represented by the first stripe and, when they can state them, color the stripe with crayon; then take the second, continuing until pupils can give the facts of all the colonies represented by the stripes. A flag might also be made upon heavy cardboard or pasteboard and the stripes cut out. Then have a flag-building exercise, letting each pupil take a stripe, tell what he can concerning the colony, and place it in its proper order. Whatever method is used, study the work in connection with a United States map. Use also pictures, history stories, patriotic poems and songs. Many incidents, catch-words, and associated facts will help pupils to remember the order of the "star-states." For example, Vermont, the first "star state;" Kentucky and Tennessee the "neighbor states." Take next the six "see-saw" states, first a northern, then a southern. Explain the jealousy of the North and South, how they were like selfish children, each afraid the other would get the advantage. Associate with Maine, the "Pine Tree State," the thought of lumber for the many buildings necessary in the growing country; with Missouri, the slavery question and Missouri Compromise; with Michigan, the "home state" idea; with California, the "Golden State," the discovery of gold and consequent excitement, contrasting with the Klondike of today; with Kansas, its central location, giving an idea of the vastness of our country. Finally, let every lesson teach that for which the flag stands. Emphasize the growth or rather the growing together, of the colonies and territories up to the present complete union. Then teach our "E pluribus unum" and its significance. ´Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave O´er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Francis Scott Key.
