Excerpt from The American Nation, Vol. 2 of 27: A History From Original Sources by Associated Scholars Physical barriers have been easily overcome, but the human barriers were always more resisting. The special feature of this volume is, therefore, an account of the native Indians. This subject, to which Professor Farrand has given much of his life, is one upon which there is an immense literature, yet nowhere a single, brief volume surveying the whole ground. Professor Farrand has condensed in these pages the results of scientific investigations which have gone on for more than half a century, and by which the ?eeting records of the civilization of the aborigines have been preserved.

(Excerpt from Colonial Children Reading aloud with taste ...)
Excerpt from Colonial Children Reading aloud with taste and expression is only part of the school training. Children must learn to read both to and for themselves; to get the sense by the appeal of the printed page to the eye, as well as of the spoken words to the ear. That children do not acquire this power generally in the primary and grammar schools is known to secondary school teach ers; repeatedly. In my high school classes I have found that reading twenty pages of a comparatively easy history or even of a novel, was a time-taking task without definite results in the way of securing the ideas. Since this power cannot be acquired without years of training, a beginning should be made in the elementary schools. There is no doubt that many of these stories would be most profitable and engrossing seat work, a means of relaxation, which would not involve mischief making.
