IV. SUGGESTIVE NOTES.

The following points deserve special notice: --

1. The attitude of the Puritans towards religion and education. The difference between the wealth of Massachusetts to-day and that of Mississippi and Alabama is of course, largely due to the difference in the intelligence of their inhabitants, however much that difference in intelligence may have been influenced by geographic conditions.

2. The New England Confederacy as a step toward the Federal Union.

3. King Philip's War as a chapter in the history of the Indian question. The details of this war should not be studied. The causes, the character of fighting, and the results throw light upon the Indian question. Nothing else is needed in connection with the war.

4. The relation between Roger Williams and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Roger Williams in this connection will arouse interest, and his part in the settlement of Rhode Island, and in securing the charter of this republican colony, may well be brought out. But this will suffice for Rhode Island as a colony, except, of course, in Rhode Island schools.

1 Roger Williams, however, was not banished from the colony because of his religious views. For an interesting discussion of this question we refer the teacher to Twichell's " John Winthrop " (Makers of America series), pp. 132-136. The entire book is very profitable reading.

IV. SUGGESTIVE NOTES.

Time should not be spent on the details of the Pequot War unless the teaching is in Connecticut. "Thomas Hooker and the town meeting" is a thousandfold more important. Connecticut is justly proud of having had "the first written constitution, in the modern sense of the term, as a permanent limitation on governmental power, known in history.”1 The influence of this State upon the formation of the Federal Constitution is worthy of comment also; but that subject will more naturally be considered in the discussion of the critical period, 1783-1789.

1 See Johnston's "Connecticut," p. 63. Teachers would do well to read all of this able book. We also highly recommend Walker's "Thomas Hooker" (Makers of America Series).
