able cartoons. Illustrations and pictures
and religion. 1t also found a number OF
glaring inaccuracies in description OF
the city government Of New York city
in Mclaughlin & Van Tyne's book. one
of the histories about which there were
many complaints OF all kinds.
Great Names Omitted.
The omission in many of the text
books Of any mention of some OF the
outstanding figures in American history
during the Revolutionary period was one
OF the surprising facts brought out In
the Investigation The committee re-
ports in relation to this phase:
objection has been made TO some OF
the histories under investigation because
on the ground that they Go nor mention
Nathan Hale. Molly Pitcher. Betsy Ross
or Sergeant Jasper. Reply was made
that these heroes and heroines We're
omitted because they ought to be studied
in the grades below those for which the
histories We're written But what excuse
is there for the omission of Franklin,
Jones, Wayne. jefferson. Burgoyne.
Howe, Schuyler. Clinton. John Adams.
Samuel Adams or Hancock from text
book which treats of the Revolutionary
period: Franklin was our representative
in England and in France. Thomas JEFF
ferson wrote the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence John Hancock was President
of the Second Continental Congress and
the first signer of the Declaration. Bur-
goyne was the British commander at
Saratoga. Samuel Adams was probably
the greatest single factor which brought
about the Revolution. SO we can take
up name after name which ought to have
been and Is not mentioned i'll all of the
text books.r
The coloring of historical facts accord
ing to the tempera ment and tendencies
of the author has led the committee
to advocate emphatically the standard
ization of text books and the establish
ment of "minimai essentials which must
be complied with before the book is adj
missible for use.
ITO teach pupils in one school that
certain facts are true; that certain men
were honorable statesmen, and to teach
in another school the direct opposite Is
intolerable. Such contradictory and ir-
reconcilable teaching skaters our most
cherished traditions and destroys faith
in our national aspirations"
The general findings of the committee
and the many complaints regarding text
book authorship have been printed at
length from time to time in THE New
York HERALD, but the latest publication
of the committee goes beyond mere
criticism and sets up constructive
standards as guide to future his
torians writing for elementary school
pupils.

Democracy in the West history Is
called 'the meanest and worst form of

What laudaple objective OF history
