Abstract

Excerpt from Patriotism and the Fellowship of Nations: A Little Primer of Great Problems We do not love our own families less if we try to help our neighbours. So with our teaching of history. It should be wide as well as deep. But only too often it makes no attempt to be wide. Our books and our methods, fortunately, do not cultivate any disdain of other nations, and in our habitual frame of mind we certainly do not wish them ill; but as a rule we ignore them. History at any rate for children - means merely the history of England; the history of Europe is commonly regarded as a sort of extra subject, to be taken, if there is time, by the more advanced pupils.
