and this prejudice he rarely gets over un
til he discovers that in reading good
historical novel he is learning history. A
so-called primary u. S. history is gen.
orally the first book on the subject the
child sees. This is either an aggregation
of facts and dates whose very sight Chill
him to the bone, or else if it contain any
history at all, it is huge lie that tries to
make the small child see his forefathers,
first as the descendants OF English and
Irish criminals, next as the cruel and
bloodthirsty masters Of a virtuOus and
long-suffering race Of people, and finally
as the violatOrs of a most sacred COM
pact-how can a boy relish such stuff?
And if he be forced to learn'it, it may

this neglect the lack of libraries in this

4. Again this is an intensely practical,
q money making age. The fathers s
words may be something like this: "Son,
study history. for it will make you wise, y
but his actions plainly say: "Son, money
is the principal thing, therefore get
money" We are busy people, nation
of bread-winners and money makers,
with no leisure class and no leisure time.
Lack of opportunity or OF inclination de-.
bars US from the pleasures of study.
5. But probably the most powerful
cause Of this neglect is the crowding out
of history and some other branches to
make room for the empirical sciences
Physics, chemistry, botany, zoology,
physiology, etc., have been given such
large place in all the schools that some
thing else had to suffer. Add to this the
claims of music, drawing, manual tram
ing, physical culture; etc, etc.. each OF
which has scores of champions for more
attention in school and out Of school, and
it is easy to see how the pressure brougnt
to bear upon history has squeezed 1t

The effects of this neglect are apparent.
Ignorance OF history engenders in the
young a contempt for the past and causes
them to hoot at whatever is old; and in
old people ana those who have been dis
appointed to decry the present and to
long for the good old days of the fathers.
The man who is ignorant Of history
may be patriot, but he is none the less,
to the extent of his ignorance, danger
Gus citizen to free country. His con-
ception of the duties of citizenship is
necessarily incomplete and unstable, if
not entirely wrong. Widespread ignor-
ance is the only soil upon which either
anarchy or socialism can grow-anarchy,
which means freedom from law rather
than freedom under law, or socialism,
which means freedom outlawed. The sur
est way to teach the duties ofcitizenship,
and the privileges of Goth century Amer
ican Southern citizenship is through
history. Any other method will be in
complete and will rest on the wrong
basis.
