Emphasize the Positive
History should give perspeetive and
balance. Even history teachcrs, though,
háve to check their bearlngs occasícn-
ally to make sure they are keeping to.
the course which the next generatioiVs
scliolars will say was truly objective.,
Some lieads of university history íde-
partments háve been doing that at the
Stanford Institute of American History
at Palo AI to, Calif. One of them, Div
William T. Hutehinson of the University
of Chicago, ccmcs up with interesting
r e c o m m e n d a t io n s.
Hc urges American historians to put
more emphasis on appreciation of Amer-
ican ideals than on criticism of their
systém. He wculd stress also “what Anie-
ricans háve agreed on rather than what
they háve fought about,” the accomplish-
ments of regions rather than solely the
government in Washington, and the ef-
fectivc working of political parties un-
der the Constitution as well as their
scandals and spoils.
There was an era ďuring which the
history taught in American schools Was
written largely in a vein of sclfglorifi-
cation. Preoccupied with wars and poli-
tics, it overlooked sociál problems and
the history of the people.
A reaction from that type of history
teaching has reached ap oint in the last
two decades where criticism has ap-
proached cynicism, and conservatives,
as Dr. Hutehinson points out, háve
had a rough time.
Such swings of the pendulum are
characteristic of human affairs and hu-
man impulses, but the íunction of
schools and imiversities is to help suc-
ceeding generations see the worlď, or
their part of it, whole.
On. this point another pendulum is
swinging which will need some control.
That is the pendulum between nation-
alism and internationalism .At present
the big need is to acquaint students with
their “citizenship in the world,” as Dr.
August C. Krey cf the University of Min-
nesota deseribed it, but this should not
blunt appreciation of national contri'-
butions to the worlďs advance.
What the historical associations and
institutes are discussing now will ap •
pear in the classrooms years hence. One
of the points they do well to make is
that both critics and defenders, both
liberals and conservatives, háve their
uses in the world.
