THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT OF
THE A. III. S.
History.


History? This question has been
asked by parents time and again. In
reply will ask this question:: Why is
it necessary to have a foundation on
which to build house?
Before one can understand the
Science of Agriculture and of Home
Science there must be general know
ledge of facts attained through the
study Of History, English, Mathe-
mates and Education.
No man can be an enlightened citi-
zen unless he knows something of the
progress of mankind from his print
tive stage to the present time. No
farmer is the farmer or citizen he
ought to be unless he keeps abreast of
the times-unless he knows something
of the wonders wrought in invention,
in Science, in art, in religion. There
fore, it is necessary, not only to study
Ancient, Modern, and United States
Histories, but current History as well.
