BOURNE AND BENTON'S HISTORIES
A GRAMMAR SCHOOL COURSE IN HISTORY AS RECOMMENDED BY THE REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE OF EIGHT OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
INTRODUCTORY AMERICAN HISTORY
_By_ HENRY E. BOURNE _and_ E. J. BENTON
_Professors of History in Western Reserve University_
THE narrative begins with the European background of American History,
and continues through the period of discovery and exploration. A vivid
account of the things best worth knowing about the Greeks, the Romans,
the development of civilization in Europe, and its transplanting in
America, is made of interest to sixth grade classes. The pupil is led to
understand that the early settlers from England, Spain, Holland, and
France brought with them the arts of civilized life and government they
had learned in the countries from which they came. The significance and
continuity of history are thereby made to contribute to the pupil's
growing knowledge of American history.

HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
_By_ HENRY E. BOURNE _and_ E. J. BENTON
PROMINENCE is given to economic and social history and to the great
westward movement; military details are subordinate; matters of mere
traditional value have been eliminated, thus leaving space for a more
full treatment of matters of present importance. The book is
pre-eminently fitted to prepare pupils now in grammar schools for
intelligent entrance upon the duties of citizenship. It is noteworthy
that the authors have included an adequate treatment of the West, which
previous books have generally neglected. The treatment of the South is
sympathetic and informing. The book is unique. This judgment applies not
only to the form in which it is presented, but also to the type of
service that it renders to the rising generation.
