Summary

"The New Teaching of History" by H. G. Wells is a book from the 1920s that's like a follow-up to his book "The Outline of History". Wells looks at how history was being taught back then and argues for a new, better way. He wanted students to learn about the big picture of human history, not just the history of their own country. He believed that history lessons should show how people and events from all over the world are connected. Wells also defends his previous book against people who didn't like it, saying that good history teaching should help kids see themselves as part of a global community and help create a more understanding world.
