Constructive Work in History.

The article presents a suggested course of study in the teaching of constructive work in history among school children in the U.S. In the selection of the material for work in history, teachers must consider certain prominent interests at the different periods of growth which need their own expression in action. Therefore, the phases of the past which show these interests expressed most simply and completely are best adapted for the study. The difficulties experienced by the children in attempts at self-government may be then shown, as those met by people of the past and overcome in various ways with various results.
