Excerpt from Method in History: For Teachers and Students To state the matter negatively, the aim has not been to discuss devices and external manipulations in teaching history; the term method is not even intended to suggest diagrams, chronological charts, or expedients of like nature. But something far more fundamental has been the aim: the determining factors in method and not the determined - the principal 'and not the accidental - ones have -been sought for and put to work at the problem. Whether diagrams, outlines, maps, and so on are to be, used in teaching history cannot be decided by the whim of the teacher or by some current fashion in teach ing the subject, but is to be decided, like other questions about devices and expedients, by an appeal to principles.
