HOW TO STUDY HISTORY.
Prof. Mitchell Addresses the College
Boys on This Subject.


The Geographical and Historical Society
Of Richmond College held its semi
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon. Be
sides the members, there were quite
number of visitors present
The feature Of the evening was an ad-
dress by Professor s. c. Mitchell on
Study Of History The address was
clear. forclble. and delivered in a most
happy manner He captivated and thrilled
every heart, and save all present a
clear insight as to how 10 study history.
Professor Mitchell said that Just as
person collects matter for an grafton, so
an historian gathers matter for his his
tory. The present is one page in history
and a thousand years ago another page
History is an organism. a growth not
like a picture on which everything is
stationary, but more like drama or
tragedy. on which every age has to play
its part. Hence. every age has to write
its own history. and much more true, that
every age has TO put It's own lnterpreta-
ton on past history. The study OF his
tory quickens our sympathies "All roads
lead 10 Rome" so in literature all roads
lead TO history. History Is a unifying
study. HeIis the best coemopolite who Is
the best citizen OF his own community.
Hence it is that the study OF history
ought 10 begin I'm the family; then the
neighborhood or community: then the
county: then the State. and then the
United States When this has been done
a good foundation has been laid for the
study OF other countries, and a great
deal more can be gained by il. The great
trouble. Professor Mitchell said. Was that
so many people paid too much attention
to ancient to the neglect OF present
history; that students invariably turned
their minds u the happenings OF the
past, totally discardIng the nineteenth
century happenings. The newspaper Is
an important factor for learning the
present history. but always distinguish
between the fact and the prophecies.
Clean the facts and keep them, but ignore
the prophecies.
I'VE can interpret the past only by
the present" said Professor Mitchell.
III we want TO learn anything from his
tory we must read II actively and not
passively. History Is deeply related TO
all other studies. IL IL also the revela-
ton of deity the voice OF God. We over
estimate Pericles and underestimate our
selves"
After the address President Boatwright
Professor Mitchell for bis able. scholarly,
timely. and most Interesting address. IL
Is hoped that Professor Mitchell will at
tend the meetings regularly. Richmond
College hopes to have a school OF history
