If the teachers of Union county land the
South generality will properly interest them
selves they can do more than auy other class.
or profession of people in getting up South
ern history of the war, for which there is
such pressing demand just at this time.
Our plan is this Let each teacher on
hearing au historical account given write 1t
giving the statement, and fill it with the
historical humor. The historian will gather
these statements up and arrange them IN
proper order and thus complete history
can be made in which the privates as well
rs the officers will be noticed.
1t is a lsmenable fact that many Of the
old soldier, can't write, and what they know
must and will be lost. But if they find q
ready pen in the hand Of some one who
is competent and willing to give their state
mcnts to the historian, they will gladly give
the information. Thus the teacher will not
only be engaged in teaching history, but he
or she will be engaged in making it. Our
history is going to be written by somebody,
in some style, AMI if we fail to do it ourselves
our friends (the enemy will do it for us.
The matters relating to the battlefield, the
camp, the march and the hospital, do not
make all our history. Our noble women at
home. the old men, the boys and girls, the
faithful slaves all did som ething which should
be noticed, aud these will come in in proper
order.
We merely threw out tLcse suggestions as
tho advance guard of what is coming. Then
let US adopt the wisest, best and most correct
method of getting up our history. The
teacher who is worthy the name will bs
found ready and willing to do his or her
duty TO those who took part in making the
history of 1916.
Let the teachers of Union county break
the ice, and other counties, and even States,
will follow and We vii, have hist ory that
will not be disputed, and one that will &c.
fleet credit upon those who made it. The
historical society is calling for these matters
and let US give them prompt attention.
We hope this suggestion will not be in
vain, but that it will impress its importance
upon all those who have a single spark of
Sta'e and national pride about them.
