If it is thought desirable to give in the secondary school some of the legends of early Rome, they can b'e in- tifcduced here as illustrating the character and ideals of the "Romans and their beliefs concerning Rome's past. The suggestion of the Committee of Seven which has attracted the most attention is the one advising the continuation of ancient history down to 800 A.D. The reasons for this recommendation are apparently these: (i) such an arrangement shortens the period that follows; the gr...eat field 30 Ancient History of mediaeval and modern history is made more manageable ; (2) to break off the history of Rome abruptly at 476 or at any previous time is to leave the old impression that Rome actually fell and disappeared, while one of the most important facts in history is the continuing influence of the eternal city; (3) "to break off with the year 476 is to leave the pupil in a world of confusion — the invasions only begun, the church not fully organ- ized, the empire not fully, ' fallen,' " ; (4) in the hght of the way in which Roman history was not in- frequently taught, — as if with the daggers of Cassius and Brutus, or at best with the burial of Augustus or the unsaintly Tiberius, the greatness of Rome were gone, — it is especially desirable that connection be made between the history of Rome and the beginning of the Middle Ages, and that the tale should not be stopped without pointing to the appearance on the western horizon of states and systems which, in some measure, relying on the traditions of Roman order and the inheritance of her law, were to form th'e foundation not only of mediaeval but of modern Europe.
