The schools were advised, instead of giving sepa- rate and detached courses in Greek and Roman history, to give a single course covering the history of both peoples. The Committee believed that Oriental Background 25 the time had come when ancient history might " be studied independently as an interesting, in- structive, and valuable part of the history of the human race, " and not merely as a sort of appendix to the languages of Greece and Rome. There ap- peared to be abundant reason for treat...ing the field as one field and not dividing it into two, as if the nations of antiquity hved and walked in isolated grandeur, and as if Greek history ended before Rome began. There appeared then, and there appears now, every reason for studying the history of the ancient world as one subject in schools, and the whole tendency of scholarly investigation is in the same direction. On this point, fortunately, there appears to be no material difference of opinion among competent teachers of history. As a means of securing this br®ader study of ancient history and placing Greek and Roman history in its proper setting, the Committee of Seven advocated a brief introductory survey of Oriental history, in order that students should not be dropped into Greek history without appreciation of the fact that thousands of years of recorded history had already passed over the world and made important contributions to its civilization.
