“We must try to induce in our pupils this feeling of oneness with all ages, by presenting the characters of history to them as living people. We should not deal in generalities, but picture the lives of individuals. Let the child know intimately as many great and fine historical characters as possible… Let us give the children opportunities of seeing by opening to them new vistas, the long vistas of the past…”
