◖ Teachers of American history, who are looking for the best text-book for their classes, are invited to examine this new work of Dr. Forman’s. They will find that it excels:
1 In the method of unfolding the story of OUR COUNTRY’S GROWTH
The pupils have before them the story of an ever-growing nation, and step by step they follow its upbuilding from small beginnings to its present great proportions.
2 In the special prominence given to the progress of THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT
The story of the marvelous growth of the Middle West, and of the States further West, is told, it is believed, with greater fullness than in any previous school history. The student will see that the greatness of our history is due as much to the Western States as to those on the Atlantic seaboard.
3 In the treatment of THE BIOGRAPHICAL ELEMENT
The great leaders of our country stand out as real and interesting personalities, because the author writes their lives into the main body of the text.
4 In the account given of our COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Throughout the book frequent surveys are made of American civilization as it existed at successive stages, and in these surveys the pupil learns how we have passed from the simple life of the seventeenth century to the complex life of to-day.
5 In the material provided for THE TEACHERS’ ASSISTANCE

6 In the fullness and richness of ITS MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Entirely new maps have been made for the book, and the illustrations have been selected from authentic sources. Many of the pictures are illustrative of Western life in the early days.
