Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Durham My objects in writing this little book are to contribute a modicum of help to the movement in favour of vacation schools and school excursions, which has become so marked a feature of recent educational development, and to further the study of local history as part of the school curriculum, so far as the regulations of the Board of Education, at present, admit It is, happily, unnecessary to expatiate upon the benefits, mental and physical, which may be reaped by our children (evidenced by the excellent results already attained) by the judicious use of vacation schools and school journeys and excursions, because the subject has been thoroughly dealt with in vol. xxi of the series of Special Reports on Educational Subjects, issued in 1907 by the Board of Education. With regard to the study of local history, there are, I believe, two methods which, combined, may enable school authorities and teachers to got good results.
