TO THE TEACHER

The lists of “Books for Study and Reading” contain such titles only as are suited to the pupil’s needs.  The teacher will find abundant references in Channing’s Students’ History of the United States (N.Y., Macmillan).  The larger work also contains the reasons for many statements which are here given as facts without qualification.  Reference to the Students’ History is made easy by the fact that the divisions or parts (here marked by Roman numerals) cover the same periods in time as the chapters of the larger work.  On the margins of the present volume will be found specific references to three text-books radically unlike this text-book either in proportion or in point of view.  There are also references to easily accessible sources and to a few of the larger works.  It is not suggested that any one pupil, or even one class, shall study or read all of these references.  But every pupil may well read some of them under each division.  They are also suited to topical work.  Under the head of “Home Readings” great care has been taken to mention such books only as are likely to be found interesting.
