Excerpt from A History of the United States This volume aims to present the story of American history in a form which will engage the interest of pupils in the upper grades of the elementary schools. It will be found that a considerable amount of material of traditional interest, but of small intrinsic importance, has been omitted in order that a fuller emphasis might be placed on events and movements of greater significance. Following the best teaching opinion, the volume deals constantly with the causal relations of historical events, due regard being had for the capacity of the pupils who will use the book. The wealth of illustrations and the many excellent maps with which the publishers have enriched the volume greatly enhance its value for school use. In the preparation of this book the author has received assistance from many sources, but special acknowledgment is due to Miss Anastasia Doyle of the Humboldt High School, St. Paul, Minnesota, who has prepared the questions on the text and the other aids to study, to Professor Frank O'Hara of the Catholic University of America, and Linda Maley O'Hara, who have read the entire manuscript and suggested many valuable improvements, to the author's former associates in the department of history in the University of Oregon, Professor Joseph Schafer and Professor R. Carlton Clark, each of whom read portions of the manuscript and gave generously of special knowledge, and to Reverend Edwin V. O'Hara, superintendent of schools for the Archdiocese of Oregon City, who at various stages of the work offered valuable suggestions.
