PREFACE

IN American Patriotism those great causes and ideals which have been the springs of our national development are defined and interpreted in the words of our great men.

Two of these causes Arbitration

the Monroe Doctrine and

are historically traced in the selections of the Appendix. The selections in the first part of the book also may be studied in groups. By careful choice of readings the teacher may trace historically other great causes in our national life, such as religious and political freedom, economic and political unity, and international friendship.

These interpretations of American history were made by the men who helped to make that history. In reading them the student unconsciously acquires the ideals which inspired those acts of service and valor that have honored the name American.
