We referred the other day to the de-

school text books OF history that should
not be '..unfair" to the Southern Con-
federacy Ia their chapters dealing with
the Rebellion. We took occasion to ex-
press the opinion that few school his
tories used in the North, at least, dealt
unfairly to the Southern side of the quea-
tion and our esteemed contemporary the
Grand Army Record, published in Boston,
declares that at least one history, Mont

public schools, not only eliminates any
thing that might teno to hurt the feel
ings OF the ex-Confederate whose children
may be compelled TO read II but emascu-
latcs history in such fashion that the
young student would be inclined to be-
lisve that the greatest conflict OF the
world arose from an abstract difference of
opinion between sincere aud patriotic
gentlemen, both In the South aud in the
North. Ii Is one thing for a school his
tory to be sectional and another thing
for 1t to suppress plain facts of evidence
for no higher purpose than to spare the
feelings OF the survivors of a lost cause
and their descendants. Neither can dis
tortion OF phrsseology change or permu-
nently conceal truth. The history Of our
country should in the frat instance ho an
Inspiration to high civic ideals and pa,ri-
otlsm and no such smoothed down and
com bed out work as that described by
our contemporary would be desirable, We
