Syllabus of a Course of Study in the History of the City of New York (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Study in the History of the City of New York

All these synopses and questions should be considered merely as suggestive, for every leader in historical read ing must determine individually what method may be pursued to best advantage. It should be borne in mind, however, that the general plan of this presentation of the History of New York City is to include a narration, an analysis, a comparison of the events which lie in causal sequence between the city as it is and the city as it was between the mighty metropolis of inhabitants and the puny colony of 110 adventurers who first made homes for white men on Manhattan Island. And the main purpose of the work is to give to the young people of the American Metropolis that knowledge of their City Mother's glorious past which shall kindle and increase civic pride, and stimulate them to be thoughtful, honor able and active in performing the duties of citizenship.
