history. 2 like this study because
think IL gives us more OF a picture
OF the world OF long ago and the
world now and its improvements
History is a very interesting study
10 tells about the different wars. of
all the different kings and of all the
events that happened before and
since America was discovered The
history tells about all the world and
about the countries that used 90 be
unknown Many children do not
like history. because they do not
like 20 study and keep UP in their
lessons.
History tells about all the great
men that have discovered islands
or continents. when and where they
were born and when they died Il
tells OF all the different kinds Of
people that the sailors found when
they discovered land. and of the
peoples customs and habits IL de-
scribes the islands so we'll. one can
almost see them before their own
