y WRITER in the March number OF the
New England Magazine makes some Elk
cellent suggestions regarding tho study
of local history, which are applicable to
every community. Such n work has
been done, he says, for Dover, Massa-
%chusetts, and the book is in use in the
schools of hat town. Every town, the
writer says, could have such Il history.
1t should start with a clear statement
of the location Of the place, to be fol
lowed with something on the topog-
raphy, the geology and the botany; then
the history Of the settlement Of the
town; the establishment of the first
church; the growth and municipal his
tory; notices Of tho important public
buildings; military history; to be fol
lowed by accounts of the Industries,
railroads, principal highways. commerce.
n brief sketch of the schools and other
educational institutions; something
about the noted men and women who
were born or have lived IN the town, OF
have visited it. These topics need not
be arranged III the order here given, but
according to the plan best adapted tc
the locality. And there is no place SC
new but that an interesting little book
let could be written about its origin and
development. Think what an Interesting
story the beginnings Of Helena would
make, how fascinating it would be tc
every pupil III our schools and how nat
uTally it would lead up to the history OF
the state and tho nation, Here IS al
opportunity FOR some of our clever loca
writer's.
