Excerpt from Documenting Local History
A reading of the subjoined sketch of Newton will con vince the discriminating student that much remains to be done on almost every phase of the history. A part of the work will be in the nature of a study of local records - of the town, the school districts, the churches, and those near by newspapers which reflected best, at different periods, the life of this community. Of course, the leaders in the distinctive lines of endeavor - farming, politics, teaching, and especially morals and religion - will have to be identified on the ground and studied as opportunity offers; here is a place for the interview with old men and women, also for the study of business records, private diaries, letters, and so forth. One entire section of the town history, and that by far the most important, will deal with moral, intellectual, and spiritual conditions. That is wholly left for the local researcher because general sources are too meager to help us much along these lines.
A splendid opportunity for good work will be found in tracing the antecedents of individuals or groups, making clear the conditions out of which they came, the circum stances inducing emigration from the old home and settle ment in the new; the education and special training of the pioneer settlers, their personal characters and social ideals, are elements to be stressed in the study.
