Excerpt from Making History Graphic: Types of Students' Work in History

The types of work which follow have been roughly grouped under five headings. This grouping is based primarily upon the various ways in which students have responded to the problems set rather than upon the type of problem or exer cise. The student has been encouraged first to assemble his facts in a discriminating fashion, and then to give them his own interpretation. The form in which the student shall submit his answer to the problem depends largely upon his own choice. He is constantly being urged to see events for himself and to express the result as a picture, diagramor graphic portrayal of the facts, if it is possible for him to see them in this fashion.

A careful comparison of the work submitted by various grades will reveal certain outstanding characteristics of the work as the students progress from grade to grade. In a few cases illustrations will be found of the work of the same student in different grades. An attempt has been made to portray the work of a great many students rather than to select the work of a few who might exemplify the best work of this Character.

Excerpt from Making History Graphic: Types of Students' Work in History

One of the sound principles of current education is that no one can get another person's education for him. The teacher can condition the pupil, provide the materials, pry open a box of new ideas, while the student has his intellectual eyes turned in the right direction; but the pupil must capture ideas for himself and find his own means of fastening them to objects within the territory which he already occupies. True, the teacher may strike his opening wedge into hollow and resounding store-cases, and open them with fervor without knowing how empty they are. Both teacher and student may pass to one another hollow words as symbols for ideas that are absent. The true teacher's task is to expose real ideas to the sensitive recording emulsion which an awakened student provides. Then teacher and student may co-operate in developing the deposit of silver or other precious substance, but the student holds the negative and he alone can print his completed picture.

History presents unexcelled opportunities for the types of student work just suggested. Things to be done by the student are constantly appearing to those who can see new things in an old landscape. This book contains samples of such student work. Many of them are in themselves highly instructive. Their best use, however, may be not in themselves but in suggesting to students elsewhere the hundreds of other good ways for giving graphic and lasting meaning to various factors in history.

The book is presented, not as a text in history, nor as a connected study of any one phase or period of history, but as a series of illustrations of ways in which one teacher's students have used historical data and situations in the progress of their studies.
