Excerpt from Our Old World Background This volume completes a series of books for the grade schools. The companion works are A First Book in American History and The History of the Amer iean People. Although each volume is independent in itself, a unity of purpose knits them into one organic whole. We have kept always before us the problem of giving our boys and girls the best possible civic and cultural equipment, and have endeavored to contrib ute something to the solution of that problem.
