IN AMERICAN HISTORY
OFFERS READING COIRSE
In response to more than a thous
and requests from various parts of
the country, the bureau of Educa
tion, Department of the Interior, has
Just added to its list of reading
courses a reading course in Ameri
can history. In announcing the new
course Dr. P. P. Claxton, coniruis
sloner of education, declares:
"All American citizens should
know more of the history of their
country than can be learned from
the meager outlines of the textbooks
used In our elementary and high
schools. That a large number of
people should have such general and
comprehensive knowledge of the
country, Its life and growth and the
form and spirit of Its institutions, as
can be gained only from reading at

least several of the standard histor
ies Is essential to the welfare of the
republic. At every national elec
tion nnd at many state and munici
pal elections the people are called
upon to vote on policies which can
not be intelligently determined with
out such knowledge. Legislators
and other representatives of the peo
ple are constantly In need of it. On
ly out of the history of the past can
come an understanding of the prin
ciples by which they must be guided
If they are to work wisely for the
future. To read extensively and
deeply in the history of the country
becomes therefore a patriotic duty.
Only thus can one love his land with
'love far brought from out the stor
ied past,' 'used within the present'
and 'transfused through future time
by power of thought.'
