The Na tional Americanization Committee of the Veterans of For-1 eign Wars is said to be considerably exercised at present over & history text in use in some public schools. The book is "Modern History" by Profs. Carlton J. II. Hayes and Parker Thomas Moon. ' The New York World has looked into this text nnd finds that it does tench some of the things objected to. For ex ample, it teaches that Americans used "British institutions and theories of representative government" in framing their new government ; that the doctrines of the Declaration "were not new or original" but had previously been develojied by 1icke and other English political philosophers. If such charges are the worst that can be brought against the "Modern History," its opixmont.s ai taking offense where none is given. What has gone before in history, inevitably . influences what comes after. There is no disgrace, no lack of patriotism, no ignorance in admitting that the founders of this nation knew the most advanced political thought of their time and drew upon the theories of outstanding think ers in building the framework of government. Not so long ago the complaint was that American history was a sugar-coated exposition of pleasant myths, like the Washington cherry tree yarn. A big effort was made to Inject more authenticated facts and truth into it. Possibly the happy medium has nut yet been reached in our text liooks, yet certainly steps in the right direction are taken by any work that shows backgitiunds and causes as well as effects. .jc; firsts, 40c.
