Excerpt from Ecomics Industrial History Secondary Schools For the last five years, the author has earnestly believed that a beginner in ecomics had a right to find the subject closely related to his own experience, and that of his neighbors, so that he would seem to himself to be studying the industrial life of actual men and women more than books about this industrial life. This manual is a result of the author's effort to put into practice in his own classes the idea just stated. It is sent out with the hope that his experience may prove valuable to other teachers who may make a similar effort. So far as he is aware, such detailed and consecutive suggestions, as are given in Part I, for the first-hand observation, classification, and interpretation of some of the most fundamental facts and processes of the present industrial system are elsewhere accessible to the student. If well carried out, it is believed that they will be found of the greatest value, as they have all been tested in actual class-room experience. It is believed further that the method herein pursued, by which the laboratory study of existing ecomic life is supplemented and enriched by showing the evolution of the industrial present from the industrial past - in short, the method of union between ecomics proper and industrial history - is here worked out in a new and vital way.
