This would he, above all, undesirable in a subject such as history, in which perhaps more than in any other there is room for the greatest variety of treatment. The experience of Inspectors, however, shows that in many schools there is clearly need for some help.

This is generally as much as can he spared from other subjects; hut, as is pointed out below, it can he indirectly increased by establishing a connection between the teaching of history and that of English literature and composition, and (in the higher forms) that of modern languages. It may sometimes be desirable for one or more terms to use more of the available time for some other subject, such as geography, and at another part of the school course to give extra time to history in compensation. Arrangements of this kind are specially useful when the master who teaches the English subjects has a special knowledge of either history or geography. 3.

The pupils should become familiar with the chief events and characters from the history of the most important nations, in their traditional form. Where the field is so great there is endless scope for selection, but it might include, besides the obvious stories from the history of the British Isles, stories such as those of the siege of Troy, the Persian Wars, Alexander the Great, stories from Roman History, the fall of Jerusalem, and the history of the early Church, the sack of Rome by Alaric and the invasion of Attila, Charlemagne, the Cid, St. Louis, St. Francis of Assisi, William the Silent, Columbus and other explorers, Galileo, Washington, Garibaldi.
