D. "STRUBLE, A. M., PROFESSOR OF HISTORY IN SAL.INA NORMAL. UNIVERSITY. ^^ OF COA/tj^^^ V^^Mf^' ' SALINA, KANSAS: NORMAL SUPPLY HOUSE, 1891. Entered, according to act of Congress, in tlie year 1891, by W. D. STKUBLE, in tlie office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, E.ns C. B. KIRTLAND PUBLISHING CO., SALINA, KANS. PREFACE. The following outline which has been used by the author for some time in the classroom is now printed in the belief that its usefulness can in this way be extended. The end in view in its preparation has been to present in their relations to each other all the events in our country's history which can profitably be stud- ied by the average class, and by this form of arrangement to make them much more intelli- gible to the pupil. In its preparation free use has been made of several histories, to which acknowledgment is due. On the subject of Exploration and Colo- nization, Barnes' has been especially service- able. On the Revolution and the Develop- ment of the United States, Johnston's has been the principal authority. On many points throughout the entire narrative Montgomery's has been found very useful. Mnny sugges- tions have also been received from other out- hnes of the same subject. Acknowledgment is especially due to one prepared by C. M. Lemon. If by the use of this outline anyone is led to a clearer comprehension of the course of events which has brought the United States to its present condition, the author will be amply repaid for its publication. W. D. S. Salina, Kans., Dec. 11, 1891. IHTEODUCTIOH, The old method of teaching history by as- signing a certain number of pages in the text book to be memorized, is, we are glad to be able to say, pretty generally a thing of the past, having been discarded by all progressive educators. The topical method has found favor because it is the method which devel- ops the student's individuality, and makes it possible for him to compare the views of differ- ent authors, thus doing away with the diffi- culty some teachers experience from diversity of text books. It is the best because it teaches the pupil to think and compare as well as to remember facts. When carried to its full de- velopment the topical method becomes the outline method, which combines with the ad- vantages possessed by the topical method many which it does not possess. The pupil in studying from a good outline is taught to think, not only by the comparison of authors he is enabled to make, but also by hav- ing prominently before his mind the relation of cause and effect. Events seen in their rela- tion to each other are much more interesting and instructive than when viewed simply in chronological order. History, instead of being the dry est study in the curriculum, as it too often is, ought to be, and, if properly studied -6— will be, the most fascinating. What can be more interesting than to watch with the eye of the anatomist the growth and expansion of a people when every event is seen, not as an is- olated fact, but simply as a part of a whole, as one of the factors whose product is a nation? By the use of a correct and full outline this is brought within the reach of every student of history. In preparing the lesson keep the outline constantly before you. If an event is given as a cause study it carefully to see just what influence it had on the subject in hand. If it is shown as a result look carefully for its causes and see if they are correctly given. Every relation which the outline shows should be carefully studied with two ends in view; to see if it is correct, and if it is, to fix it perma- nently in the mind. As an introduction to the general outline a preliminary outline is given which shows the great divisions into which the subject is ar- ranged. It should be carefully studied prepar- atory to taking up the subject in detail. - By this it will be seen that the history of the United States is treated under three great heads. In- troduction, Origin and Development. The "In- troduction" comprises that period when there was no United States, but during which ma- terials were being collected out of which it should be made. The "Origin" is the period and the circumstances which made a United States out of this collection of materials. This naturally divides itself into two parts, "British Oppression," the provocation which led the colonists to throw off the English yoke and or- ganize a government of their own, and "The Revolution," the movement by which this was accomplished. After the United States is fully formed there only remains to be consid- ered its "Development," and this comes under two heads, "The Confederation" and "The Con- stitution." The general outline which follows is simply a development in detail of these three different heads. THE UNITED STATES.
