SPEAKER SCORES { NATIONS STAND

4 criticism of the manner in which American history Is taught in this country was voiced yester- day by Thomas Richardson, head of the history department of Hill house high cshool, New Haven, speaking at meeting of the League of Women Voters at the Elton. Mrs. H. J. Jackson was chairman of the committee arrang- ing the meeting and the speaker was introduced by Attorney Fred erlck c. Smedley.
 History teachers in American schools have adopoted the attitude that this country has always been right and teach hefsubject to their pupils from thls angle. according to Mir. Richardson.
 America has not always been blameless. he said, and there are a number of things in our history of which we cannot be proud. He pointed to the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, and the re- fusal of this country to enter the League of Nations, as examples.
 Foreign countries, he asserted, |, take into consideration these ap- parent inconsistencies when teach. . ing the subject to students in their schools. In Mr. Richardson's opin- ion this varied attitude on histor- ical subjects Is one of the basic reasons for misunderstanding be- : tween countries.
