Not only should the student acquire a broader point of View, but he can be made more interested in history work by such an exercise. When he can be shown in a tangible way that history is past life and that human nature is very much the same even under very different conditions and in different ages, he will regard history as worth while and as interesting. By taking enough time for a small amount of source work and by doing it with thoroughness, the student will study his text-book with new interest.
