Making History Safe

What is history? "A systematic written account OF
events usually connected with philosophical explanation
of their causes says Webster Theoretically, 1t is COM
pee record of the past guide to both achievements ana
mistakes from which we can profit in the future
Now comes Commissioner of Accounts David Hlrsch-
Seld of New York City to take issue with score OF
recognized American historians because of their inter-
pretatons of past events Assigned by Mayor Hyan to
make study of school histories, Mr.. Hirschfeld has
found after Is months of study exactly what he an
out discover British propaganda and he accomplish
ed his purpose.
He would strike from American histories every
favorable mention of Britain Every reference to the
human weaknesses of the founding fathers would like
wise be ruled out In other words, the children and
youth of the country should under no circumstances be
permitted to learn that he have borrowed institutions and
developed them suit purposes that mperfecons
have been noted in government establishment and
occasionally corrected.
Only few days ago, Dr. J. J. Tigert, commissioner
of education of the United States publicly depored the
tendency of American school histories to give the i'm
preston that We of the United States in the
wrong in disputes with other lands
What Commissioner Hirschfeld would do in New
York, other overzeaous patriots attempting in other
cities They want to make history dull and drab and
devoid of interesting color and explanatory inform
alton that it will to make young folks think They
would make history such exact science that can be
taken like pink pills. And if they succeed their seril-
lied histories will do students just about much good as
the average sugar coated bread pill and no more.
