Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Revolution in Our School d104-Books: An Attempt to Trace the Influence of Early School Education on the Feeling Towards England in the United States
Some of these text-books may not have been responsible for the earliest impressions of the pupils on this subject; others which did have such an in?uence certainly exist, but did not come to my notice. The plan, however, on which this study has been developed, was to accept the replies to inquiries sent out, as a fair re?ection of general conditions, and to avoid broadening the investigation.
The picture which is thereby revealed of the teaching of American History throughout the country, cannot but be very incomplete, as there are innumerable communities and num'berless text-books, and those which I have examined form but a fraction of the whole. Besides, it is impossible to ascertain how many pupils studied from one particular book, and how many made use of another.
