I will give you the scaffolding as well as I can and you must build the house. — Kingsley. Detrick's History Graphs. Medieval and Modern History Yet I doubt not with the ages one increasing pur- pose runs. And the thoughts of men are widened with the Process of the suns. — Tennyson. DETRICK PUBLISHING CO. ADA, OHIO COPYRIGHT 1920 BY GUY DETRICK, ADA, OHIO Foreword by the Author For years I have been a worker in the public schools, hav- ing had teaching experience in all grades. During the past ten years my attention has been centered on the presentation of History. At the beginning of my career as a teacher of History, I was confronted with the fact that the average High School pupil, at the time he is introduced to the subject is still imma- ture and in a great measure unable to grasp an intelligent hold on the story of the race, because he cannot carry the relationships as they are arranged in the chapters of the or- dinary text book. With this problem before me I set to tha task of working out a method by which the subject is carried out on lines of progress. The graph which I am presenting is the product of the class-room during the past eight years. Each pupil furnished with his own graph and as he studies, notations are made of important points in the century where that development was made. When the story is finished there is a sequence that gives power and food for thought, and leads to clear reasoning in solving the problems of twentieth century citizenship. With this method the study of history has become one in which all the outward senses have been brought into play. The story of civilization becomes that of the greatest of all evolu- tions, and by its successes and failures furnishes a solid founda- tion for the world's citizenship. In offering this method to the American High School teacher and student, I desire to express my appreciation of the friendly suggestions and criticisms of my teacher friends and associates. Very respectfully, GUY DETRICK, Principal Ada High School. ©CI.A597477 SEP 2 /3 /f H&sh/n ?fon ; 77 t "aroqa^ /"A / \ 4- JU Qepublic J 5£ G/is/t Hfar 1 M4ir /3/2 ■ War Tlem/oortsi/ I \ to 3'-epub//c Marnis ITfZ X t 43 sz £:mp. s/ ffa/c/ a A/crf/ory £r0r/b<3/d' L/rr/fi/ Cah'otsr' tJ/smar"/? cf/scdA^s /4vsfrf0 )/a7o /S7o (^errr-?&\\ £'rr7/D/^& f <0 Unify &r-/me&n H^r \ £?&<>■ mt 'ot+Ter" / =} r-o&r"&ss toward /Z)er7^oCK<7cz y /-oss of / c= os't3/r7f&S Z./m/fsa' A7or70r-c:/~?U Inf. -ch\ f^ar-f/f/on 3? /V&uffa//ftf (^uar-e^/^te&ii fh& C^r&at s4drar?
