Training Little CitiSenS
Making History Attractive.

BY Eva March Tappan, Pm. u.
(Author "a when knights were
Bold" hIn the Days OF King
AIfred.")
As n child, 1 had a profound dis
like for history, and considering that
a history recitation in those DAYS
was hardly more than a struggle TO
recite "the lesson" as nearly verba-
tim as possible, I am inclined to
think that my childish judgment
was very good. Poor little young
sters that we were. who had to draw
plans OF battle grounds, 10 learn the
numbers killed and wounded on the
opposing sides. and 20 recite lengthy
lists OF dates, adjusting its proper
event to each. We had so little idea
of the relative Importance OF the
events that the burning OF a tiny
village by the Indians seemed TO us
quite as mOmentous as the surren-
der Of Quebec!
A child has little background of
knowledge. Dates mean nothing 20

about IL. Some Of these questions
I would answer; some l would ask
them to try 10 answer for them
selves. I would say nothing about
exact dates. but I would make four
or five general divisions of our his
tory. such as discoveries and settle
ments. Colonial days and Indian
wars. the Revolution. etc. and put a
copy into every book. There would
not be many stories of our American
heroes that the children would not
soon be able 10 put into their proper
divisions. Then IL more than one
book had been read. I would go
through the stories rapidly in their
chronological order, bringing out
any information that the children
might have gathered and occasion

What would this accomplish? At
the end Of the reading the children
would be on good terms with twenty

look forward To il. not with dread,
