To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The history of the United States is studied during the last two years of the grammar grade, when the boy or girl is from twelve to fourteen years old. This means that valuable time has been lost, that long before this age the interest of the child should have been awakened and held by the pictures of the past. Again there is little evidence to show that history is united either with geography or literature. In several of the states history is not begun until geography is finished, and in others... history is absolutely divorced from the instruction in English. Text-books are used without collateral reading, and sometimes the subject is divided by administrations, sometimes by pages. 1 In one state the work in history is given during the first three years in the form of stories, and the instructions published for the ensuing four years are, to repeat the previous stories. In an- other state civics alternates with physiology. In apparently but four of the states has there been any consultation whatever with competent advisers in historical instruction regarding the course in history to be prescribed for the grades.
