Why Pupils Dislike History

Washington Democrat: In looking
over the topics for the teachers con-
iyention AT keokuk. we note that one
OF our teachers is on for discussion
of those reasons. that is TO say, she
is TO discuss the reason why high
school pupils do not like history.
That is very easy. That is just as
easy as TO explain why some people
like parsnips and some do not. Par
ships were not made 10 eat al all.
and according to our view they were
treated as a joke, yet many people
ike them. Some people even like
hmburger cheese. but it is our no
ton that the only time man really
likes limburger cheese is when he is
drunk But be that as it may, nobody
can tell why some pupils do not take
kindly to history.
And, although We understand that
Miss Field is an expert history teach
er and We admit that she looks like
mighty bright woman. We doubt if
she can give any reason why pupils
do not like history any more than
she can why some have red hair and
others have black hair
But as TO why children do not like
history, why do they not like many
other studiese A person to like his
tory must be born to it. although
much help can be given IL they hear
it talked of a great deal in the home.
In that way. children get the correct
idea of history. namely, that it is not
merely dry as dust topic, invented
only to annoy folks, but that 1t is A
real live human interest story. Chill
dren are apt to look at history TOO
much as some bug-a-boo when as &
matter of fact ii is merely the con-
duct OF people who lived yesterday
and who acted and thou lt and lived
and moved and had their being very
much as we do now.
And to excite interest in history, It
is necessary to begin with local his
tory, with what goes on around
them, then take the county and then
the state and the nation. and finally
the world. Nobody ever began to study
history and became interested in it, if
he began with Kamchatka or the Fiji
Islands and then Travelled on towards
home. II goes the other way out. His
tory must begin like the waves from a
pebble thrown into the lake, travel
outward in concentric rings until the
goal of all history of the world, mod
ern, medieval and ancient is reach
ed
We shall be anxious to see what
Miss Fields view point is on this
topic, for We are told she is very
bright young woman.
