LEES SCHOOL HISTORY

The School History OF the United
States. written by Mrs. Susan Pendleton
Lee, is one OF the very best school
looks that has fallen under our observa-
ton in a long time. 1t is a clear. con-
else, and logical statement of the princi-
PAL events in the history of this country
from its discovery down to the present
time. and It is written in a style that viii
not fail TO interest the early student.
But what interests MS especially in the
work IS the fact that. while perfectly fair
end impartial, It Is written by Genu-
Inc Southerner who loves the South.
sympathizes with her glories. and MOUTHS
for her misfortunes. The account Of
the causes which led TO the War OF Sc
cession presents our side of the case
truthfully, and the military events OF
the war are so chronicled that a Southern
boy in reading 1t will never feel ashamed
of the deeds Of his father.
We copy from page 4s7 the following
most interesting incident that we never
heard before we read II here Telling OF
General Polk's death. the author says:
"On the first night after joining John
stOn at Dalton. tho BishOp-General had
baptized General Hood in his Ten: at
midnight and. q few evenings late, ne
had administered the same rite to Cen
eral Johnston. Johnston received his
BAPTISM kneellng in his tent with Hood
and Hardee. Hood was on crutchcs. and
could not kneel. so he was allowed 20
receive the ordinance standing on his
crutches."
The Sunday previous to his death, Bish-
OF Polk, after Pcing through his private
devotions, assembled his staff and all
who could get within sound Of his voice,
and read the morning service of the
Episcopal Church in his usual devout
and impressive manner. In his pocket,
soaked with his hearts blood. were foJnf
four religious tracts. on three Of which
he had written the names OF his com
panions in responsibility and danger.
Generals Johnston, Hardee and Hood
The press work and Illustrations are
excellent-the latter very numerous.
The arrangement Of the book for the
practical work of the young student Is
after the best models.
This book deserves to be unusually
adopted throughout the South, and 1t
would remove many errors if they would
study it in northern schools.
