Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Course in History for Elementary Schools: The State Normal School of Colorado, Bulletin Series X., No; 10, March 1911 Any outline of schoolwork should be based upon a clearly defined conception of the educational value of the subject. History has unfortunately been one of those subjects whose worth has been least satisfactorily evaluated. It has too commonly been assumed that some knowledge of the history of one´s own country at least is a necessary part of the equipment of an educated person, without any serious effort being made to determin with any adequate degree of precision how this knowledge helps the individual. In so far as the question has been raisd at all the sufficient reply has seemd to be that a knowledge of past history is necessary to enable the individual to perform aright his political duties, tho a careful study of the results of the work would convince any unprejudist person, I think, that our history teaching judgd from this standpoint has produced wofully meager returns. But we are fast outgrowing the notion that history is merely politics whether past or present. As Herbert Spencer so well pointed out half a century ago, history does not deal primarily with the details of wars, the machinations of rulers, the intrigues of court favorits, or the varying fortunes of political parties. It deals rather with the life of the people in all its larger social aspects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
