the study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume they're right proportions. The famous men of ancient and modern times are mountain peaks of history. It is logical, then, that the study of history should begin with the biographies of these men. Not only is it logical, it is also pedagogical. Experience has proven in order to attract and hold a child's attention. Each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual For its center. The child identifies himself with the percentage presented. It is not Rami, Elice or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander that the child has in mind when he reads but himself acting under similar conditions. Prominent educators appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of biography as a preparation for the study of history and have given it an important place in their scheme of studies.
