It is clear that our interests are changing, and consequently the kind of questions that we ask the past to answer. Our most recent manuals venture to leave out some of the traditional facts least appropriate for an elementary review of the past and endeavor to bring their, narrative into relation, here and there, with modern needs and demands. But I think that this process of eliminating the old and substituting the new might be carried much farther; that our best manuals are still crowded with facts that are not worth while bringing to the attention of our boys and girls and that they still omit in large measure those things that are best worth telling. In order to make the situation quite clear, let us imagine that some broad-minded and sympathetic spirit, deeply impressed with the tasks that face us to-day, --like Maeterlinck himself, for instance, --had managed to learn a great deal about the past of mankind without ever looking into a standard history or an historical manual great or small; that he had been guided miraculously to the real sources of historical knowledge and had familiarized himself with all the vestiges of the past thought and activities of mankind, not only the written records, but the remains of buildings, pictures, clothing, tools, and ornaments. Let us suppose, then, that he undertook to prepare a book for children, in which he proposed to tell them what he believed would be most interesting to them, and most illuminating, as they grew up and began to play their respective parts in.<
