Book Description
Excerpt from Everyday Citizenship This book is an attempt to make it clear to young people that the privileges and duties of citizenship are matters of everyday life. Its object is to lead them to see government, not as a remote, incomprehensible, and rather alarming abstraction, but as a controllable agency for the service of all citizens. The organization and structure of government have here been treated with constant reference to their purpose, the carrying on of common enterprises. The young citizen is rightly interested in the work done by public officials, and in his own share in public work, rather than in the machinery itself. An appeal is made to the student's interest by the use of many illustrations based on everyday experience. The arrangement of topics, beginning with local government and proceeding to the less familiar work and organization of state and nation, is designed to lead him logically from the known to the less known.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Citizenship IN view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list. Our first plea in justification of this volume is our belief that the books on government now offered to the schools have cer tain fundamental defects.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Practice of Citizenship: In Home, School, Business, and Community Education for citizenship is one of the first duties of any self-governing society. The practice of citizen ship is fully as important a duty. Since we learn by doing, we shall never become good citizens simply by studying civic relations and problems, that is, if we do no more than prepare ourselves for future duties and responsibilities. If citizenship were chiefly a matter of voting and of governmental activities, the schools would necessarily limit themselves to preparation for adult citizenship. But citizenship is far more than that. A person is a citizen because he is a member of a nation; but the nation is only the greatest and most important of a large number of civic groups of which all of us are members. A few of these groups, such as the state and municipality, are chiefly political; some of them, such as business organizations, are predominantly eco nomic; but for boys or girls real membership is limited chiefly to two social groups, the home and the school.

Excerpt from Citizenship of the United States In the more restricted meaning of the term, a citizen is a per son who has the right to vote for public officers and on public measures, and who is qualified to hold offices in the gift of the: people. But this definition is too narrow, for minors - who are not permitted to vote - and women - who are allowed to exercise the franchise in only a few of the states - are citizens. In the broad sense of the word, citizens are the people, the members of the state or nation, including men, women, and children. In the United States thev are the sovereign power.

Book Description
Excerpt from Citizenship Citizenship is of all earthly things to-day the thing most worth while. Perhaps it has always been so. It is only, however, in our times that this statement could have been made without fear of contradiction. Because it is only now that men and women, for the first time in the history of the world, are, in any great number, beginning to consciously realise the social interdependence of all human beings and, with it, the urgency of placing this realisation upon an ordered basis. Such basis, in the considered opinion of vast and increasing numbers of people in all countries, alone makes possible human advance - scientific, artistic, social - in these days of new horizons and world-concepts.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship Of all political forms, the federal type is the most complex; and it is, therefore, little short of absurd to attempt, as do so many text-books on Civics, to explain to students who are without previous training the con stitutional relations of our elaborate system of national, state, and local governments, without first giving to them a knowledge of the nature of political authority, the purposes for which it exists, and the general gov ernmental means through which such purposes are attained. In the present work it is believed that this error has been avoided. The student is first given that information which is essential to an understanding of citizenship and government in general, before he is called upon to study the description of our own com plex government in particular.

Book Description
Excerpt from What to Do for Uncle Sam: A First Book of Citizenship The United States Bureau of Education lays emphasis upon the part of the schools in training for citizenship. It urges a new teaching of the subject, beginning with the home, going on to the school, and from there into community relations. The Government asks, also, that work in civics be begun in the elementary schools. The work should embody less of the details of governmental agencies, but focus instead upon the child's own community obligations and activities. Following this thought, and taking up the program of community civics outlined by the Bureau of Education, I have written "What to Do for Uncle Sam," a first book in patriotism and citizenship. At the end of each chapter I have placed questions and suggestions which establish a contact between the classroom and community life. The book lays emphasis on the home and the local community. The child may find many illustrations of the subjects in his own environment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Citizenship A Book must be judged by its purpose and by the way in which it meets that purpose. The first test may be stated quite distinctly by the author; the second test must be applied by the reader. In order that this volume may not be judged by ends which it does not seek to reach, it may be well to state the intent. The purpose is to suggest certain natural and human starting points for the teaching of patriotism and citizenship. It is not claimed that the book is an exhaustive treatise, even of its simple kind. It suggests directions rather than goals. It does not offer a storehouse of information, nor does it seek to fill minds with lists and classifications. It rather aims to guide an instinct and promote a sentiment. From this it is plain that the material cannot be merely historical. Perhaps no study has been more closely related to citizenship than has history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
