Topics On Greek And Roman History Intended For Use In Secondary Schools Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Topics on Greek and Roman History, Intended for Use in Secondary Schools This list of topics is the result of many years' experience in teaching ancient history in classes preparing for college entrance examinations. From quite small beginnings the list has grown to its present form. The compiler has been assured that it would be of service to others engaged in the same work, or in the study of Greek history for any purpose. This is the only excuse for publishing. It is claimed for the list: 1. That it presents a full and systematic scheme for the study of Greek history by the topical method. 2. That it is adapted for use in accordance with the recommendations of the Conference Report in History in the Report of the Committee of Ten, and also of that of the report of the Conference on History made to the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools in 1895, of the report of the University Conference on Uniform Entrance Requirements made in 1896, of the report of the Committee of Seven made in 1899, and with the latest entrance requirements adopted by our leading colleges. 3. That the references are ample and plain, but not so precise as to prevent the student from learning to find his own way in books of reference. The number of books referred to is large. The object is two-fold: (1) to broaden the student's view by the study of the same subject as presented by different writers; (2) to make it possible that those whose library resources are small shall nevertheless find some references of which they can avail themselves.
