AN ELEMENTARY HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
By ALLEN C. THOMAS, A. M.
Author of "History of the United States," and Professor of History in Haverford College.
THE Elementary History is for the use of younger classes, and serves as an introduction to the author's larger History of the United States.
Effort has been made to present such important phases of national growth as the difficulties and dangers of exploration, and how they were overcome by earnestness and perseverance; the risks and hardships of settlement, and how they were met and conquered; the independence and patriotism of the colonists, and how they triumphed; the effect of environment upon character; the development of the people in politics and government and in social life; and the progress of invention and its effect upon national development.
Realizing the fascination that the personalities of our national heroes have for the young, the author has chosen those men who best illustrate the important periods in the making of our nation, and in a series of interesting biographical sketches uses their lives as centers around which the history is written. Thus the book has all the freshness and vitality, all the rapidity of action, and all the interest, of tales of patriotism and courage and untiring endurance, and yet preserves accuracy of fact and due proportion of importance of events.
Cloth. 357 pages. Maps and illustrations. Introduction price, 60 cents.
THE HEATH READERS
A new series, that excels in its
* Interesting and well graded lessons.
* Masterpieces of English and American literature.
* Beautiful and appropriate illustrations.
* Clear and legible printing.
* Durable and handsome binding.
* Adaptation to the needs of modern schools.
The Heath Readers enable teachers, whether they have much or little knowledge of the art, to teach children to read intelligently and to read aloud intelligibly. They do this without waste of time or effort, and at the same time that the books aid pupils in acquiring skill in reading, they present material which is in itself worth reading.
The purpose of the Heath Readers is, first to enable beginners to master the mechanical difficulties of reading successfully and in the shortest time; second to develop the imagination and cultivate a taste for the best literature; third, to appeal to those motives that lead to right conduct, industry, courage, patriotism, and loyalty to duty. The larger purpose is, briefly, to aid in developing an appreciation of that which is of most worth in life and literature.
The series contains seven books, as follows:
