tailieunhanh - American Leaders and Heroes

In teaching history to boys and girls from ten to twelve years old simple material should be used. Children of that age like action. They crave the dramatic, the picturesque, the concrete, the personal. When they read about Daniel Boone or Abraham Lincoln they do far more than admire their hero. By a mysterious, sympathetic process they so identify themselves with him as to feel that what they see in him is possible for them. Herein is suggested the ethical value of history. But such ethical stimulus, be it noted, can come only in so far as actions are translated into the thoughts and feelings. | Leaders and Heroes by Wilbur Fisk Gordy 1 Leaders and Heroes by Wilbur Fisk Gordy Project Gutenberg s American Leaders and Heroes by Wilbur Fisk Gordy This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Children of that age like action. They crave the dramatic the picturesque the concrete the personal. When they read about Daniel Boone or Abraham Lincoln they do far more than admire their hero. By a mysterious sympathetic process they so identify themselves with him as to feel that what they see in him is possible for them. Herein is suggested the ethical value of history. But such ethical stimulus be it noted can come only in so far as actions are translated into the thoughts and feelings embodied in the actions. In this process of passing from deeds to the hearts and heads of the doers the image-forming power plays a leading part. .
