It is rather uponconstructive features.First. We have written a topical, not a narrative, history. Wehave tried to set forth the important aspects, problems, andmovements of each period, bringing in the narrative rather by wayof illustration.Second. We have emphasized those historical topics which help toexplain how our nation has come to be what it is to-day.  Third. We have dwelt fully upon the social and economicaspects of our history, especially in relation to the politics ofeach period.  Fourth. We have treated the causes and results of wars, theproblems of financing and sustaining armed forces, rather thanmilitary strategy. These are the subjects, which belong to ahistory for civilians. These are matters which civilians canunderstand—matters which they must understand, if they are to playwell their part in war and peace.  Fifth. By omitting the period of exploration, we have beenable to enlarge the treatment of our own time. We have givenspecial attention to the history of those current questions whichmust form the subject matter of sound instruction incitizenship.  Sixth. We have borne in mind that America, with all her uniquecharacteristics, is a part of a general civilization. Accordinglywe have given diplomacy, foreign affairs, world relations, and thereciprocal influences of nations their appropriate place.  Seventh. We have deliberately aimed at standards ofmaturity.  The study of a mere narrative calls mainly for the use of thememory. We have aimed to stimulate habits of analysis, comparison,association, reflection, and generalization—habits calculated toenlarge as well as inform the mind. We have been at great pains tomake our text clear, simple, and direct; but we have earnestlysought to stretch the intellects of our readers— to put them upontheir mettle. Most of them will receive the last of their formalinstruction in the high school. The world will soon expect maturityfrom them. Their achievements will depend upon the possession ofother powers than memory alone. The effectiveness of theircitizenship in our republic will be measured by the excellence oftheir judgment as well as the fullness of their information.
