If the teachers ct Union county (and the
South generality will properly interest them
selves they eau do more than any other class.
or profession of people in getting up q South
ern history Of the war, for which there is
such q pressing demand just at this time.
Our plan is this: Let each teacher on
hearing au historical account given write it
out and secure the endorsement of the party
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 a complete history
can be made in which the privates as well
rs the officers will be noticed.
1t is a iamentable fact that many of tho
old soldiers can't write, and what they know
must and will be lost. But if they find a
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 mething which should
be noticed, aud these will come 10 in proper
I've merely threw OUT ,shcse suggestions as 4
the-advauce 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 BIS
found ready and willing to do his or her
duty to those who took part in making the
history of 1876.
Let the teachers of Union county break
he ice, and other counties, and even States,
will follow, and we will have history that
will not be disputed, and one that will ,e.
feet credit upon those who made it. The
historical society is calling for these matters
md let US give them prompt attention.
We hope this suggestion will not be in
vain, but that it will impress its Importance
apon all those who have q single spark Of
Stae and national pride about them.
