Description
Excerpt from Popular Patriotic Poems Explained: A Supplementary Reader for Use, in Public and Private Schools
The present Supplementary Reader consists in a number of poetical selections, extracts from addresses and grand words Of our fathers, with something of their origin - all of which are based upon different features of our country''s history.
The attempt has not been to cover the entire scope of our history, but to vary the range sufficiently to stimulate children to search for other poems and historical selections. The child never tires of stories of noble and daring deeds and as he hears or reads them his patriotic feeling is developed and there is born in him a resolution, that the blessings which cost so much shall be preserved.
The aim has been to select those pieces which will awaken a deeper interest and create a greater fondness for historical study; to present to the minds of our children historical literature Of enduring merit that which will impart pure sentiments and excite in the young a greater ''admiration and love for the Land Of the Pilgrim Fathers. During a long experience in teaching history the author discovered that one soul-stirring poem or patriotic address based upon some heroic event, read or recited before a class will frequently do more to foster a love for history than a whole term''s instruction by ques tions and answers.
The poem which gives life and reality to history, vividly pictures a particular scene in, the mind, directs the whole attention, arouses an interest, excites the imagination, inspires patriotic feelings, cultivates a taste for good literature and broadens the sphere Of knowledge. Thus the close relationship existing between history and literature is made more evident to the mind of the child as we give them the truth in different forms.
