Excerpt from A Topical Analysis of United States History: With Library References for Teachers and Pupils The library method of teaching history is no longer an experiment in the best colleges and normal schools. While the exclusive library method of studying history can not be adopted in the elementary schools, a combination of the text book and library method can, by assigning lessons by topics, and re quiring them to be worked out by the use of the school text and reference books. Teachers generally agree with Woodrow Wilson, that no subject can be learned from a single book. The exclusive text book method confines the pupil to the views of one author, prevents discussion, and does little to stimulate thought, or to arouse interest. By the use of a single book the pupil is apt to fall into the habit of accepting without question what one author says; the habit of investigating for oneself is not cultivated. The tendency is to commit the words of the text without comprehending the thought. One of the most important results that comes from any study is the power to think and investigate for oneself; and this is best secured in the study of his tory by the library method. It has been the aim in the analysis given in this manual to break up theold, but common, practice of assigning the lesson by so much of the text, and instead (in the words of Arnold Tompkins), to give points to be worked out, which compel the pupil to use the text, the reference book and every other means at his command.
