Constant progress in the science of education and constant improve- ment in the art of teaching have made it necessary to revise, and sometimes to discard methods of study and instruction long held to be superior. The prominent place of the natural sciences in all the accepted schemes of modern education has made the laboratory and its methods familiar to most teachers and students. The excellence of the laboratory system of instruction is proved by the satisfactory results obtained by its use. Sciences which had always been excluded from the school room on account of their inherent difficulties have become favorite subjects of study. Students who had always been unable to attain even common-place proficiency in the learning of the text books have been converted by the laboratory into earnest and successful searchers after knowledge. Thoughtful teachers, observing the success of the method of investi- gation in the sciences, soon began to use it in other departments of instruction. They have succeeded so well that its extension is now desired by all students of the art of teaching. New life and renewed enthusiasm have been infused into the instruction and acquisition of many subjects whose study, under the old system, had become perfunc- tory and unprofitable. In the universities and colleges, history was one of the first branches to benefit from the reform. Young professors, returning from Germany, imbued with the enthusiasm for careful and scientific research that prevails in the great continental universities introduced the seminar and the laboratory into the new history courses recently offered by all our higher institutions of education. Men have learned that there is as much fascination in conducting a research in history as in chemistry — frequently the results are more valuable. But the reform has made itself felt but slowly and feebly in schools of elementary and secondary rank. The dry-as-dust text books and monotonous daily recitation of the same committed to memory have remained in the high schools, normal schools and smaller colleges. This book is an attempt to adapt the new method in history to the work of schools that have the means and the time to use the methods of the university. The outline and references indicate the nature of the work that may be done. The reading is assigned by 4 Libra^'y Manual of United States History. topic and the references are set opposite the subjects to be discussed in order that neither time nor energy may be wasted in searching through many books, or many parts of one book, for the particular paragraph that may be pertinent to the lesson. Every teacher of history has been hin- dered by the tendency of his students to accept as true beyond question, the conclusions of the author of the text book used. This method requires every student to read several writers on each subject of im- portance. vSuch reading necessarily discovers a great diversity of opinion among men, each one of whom is, in some measure, an author- ity. The student, in reading and comparing so many different views, is ultimately compelled to think for himself. This independent thinking he does from such data and in such manner that his conclusions, crude though they may be, are far more valuable to him than the ready-made opinions of any man however great. By this method the learner's mind is not only informed, but what is better, it is trained and disciplined into the invaluable habits of comparison, analysis, and generalization. The power of bold, original and vigorous thought is developed. In addition to the careful reading of the required references and thoughtful discussion of the work by the class, each student should be required to present from three to five essays on themes selected by the teacher. These should be criticised by the instructor, revised by the writer, and afterwards read and discussed in the class if time permits. In study, notes should be made, but not at such length as to use very much time. A student can usually gain more by a few moments' serious thought on a point that seems to be of special importance than by making a note which, in most cases, is never read. The blank pages in the Manual are entirely inadequate to the exigencies of copious note- making. They are intended for additional references and to preserve any matter especially pertinent to the topic on the opposite page. The course is divided into fifty parts. Each of these divisions can be subdivided into as many lessons as the time given to the subject permits. Very satisfactory work can be done in a course of one hundred daily lessons. One hour should be given to the recitation, two hours to prepar- ation. The familiar aids and arts of the history teacher should all be employed to increase the interest in the work. Maps, charts, diagrams, pictures, coins, curiosities, and whatever will awaken interest and provide instruction should be properly used. The library may be large or small — the larger the better. But lack of books need not long prevent any high school or normal school historj- teacher from adopting this method. Fifty dollars expended for books carefully selected from the works cited in this Manual will provide an equipment with which effective work can be done. It is believed that this course in the constitutional and political history of the United States, following the careful study of some standard text book, will Library Manual of United States History 5 revive interest in American history in those secondary schools where there now seems to be a tendency to neglect it in favor of other subjects of far less importance in the education of good citizens. These outlines and references have been used for five years with grati- fying success. Students who have done the work required have learned to think for themselves, have acquired systematic habits of research, have grown familiar with a large number of the best historical books, and have become well informed in the constitutional history of the republic. This Manual is nowprinted with the hope that it may assist in the promotion of right methods of historical study among a class of students who can not profit from the progress of the universities. While intended, primarily, for the use of teachers and students of history in the schools, it is believed that this book will be of great value to all who have a taste for American history and can obtain access to the authors cited. In the selection of works of reference care has been taken to use for the most part books that are generally easily accessible, and are not very expensive. Most of them will be found in every school or public library, and a large proportion of them in many private collec- tions. The general reader is heartily welcome to the use of this book, but the chief hope of the writer is that it may teach the teacher to use the library as the history student's laboratory LIBRARY MANUAL OF U.
