Excerpt from Founders of Freedom in America: A Biographical History for the Elementary Grades
The authors of this history believe that another text on the subject is justified at this time only by the fact that some of the big ideals for which this country stands should receive greater emphasis than has been usual. These are now more clearly defined than formerly, making it desirable that a text designed as this is for the fifth and sixth grades shall be a helpful adjunct in teaching them. It should include, too, a treatment of the lives and achievements of some of the men and women who have influenced the great movements in our national life during recent years.
