After careful examination and the

lon that no history in use as q textbook
gives such an account Of the war period

committee; that no one Of them makes
any use of the important period In our
history and Of Its great events to teach
lessons Of patriotism; that the child
without other sources Of information
would be entirely unable to determine
whether there was any difference in the
patriotism Of those who fought Tor the
preservation Of the national unity and
those who fought for the destruction Of
our government: that there IL in all Of
