Book Description
Excerpt from Safety First for Little Folks: First Steps in Civics This little book is, the author believes, fully in accord with the times in its aim and spirit, which is to further good citizenship; civic betterment; cleanliness; economy; the conservation of human life, happiness, and efficiency, both of one's self and of others; and to assist in reducing to some degree the terrible waste of life, limb, and effort resulting from thoughtlessness and carelessness. Child hood is the appropriate time for teaching the virtue of carefulness, thoughtfulness, helpfulness, and consideration for others. A reasonable care for one's own safety and well-being is an essential element for proper helpfulness to others. Any teaching of selfish disregard for the safety of others has been avoided. Thanks are due to the various municipal departments of New York City, to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co., to Walter H. Bennett, State Fire Marshal of Illinois, and to Dr. B. B. Mosher, of Brooklyn, for photographs used in the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Hints on Teaching Civics (Classic Reprint)
Author: George Henry MartinPublisher:
ISBN: 9781331167204
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Excerpt from Hints on Teaching Civics It is the purpose of the author in preparing these "Hints" to enrich the content of the instruction in civics. The study of civil government is properly a department of ethics, and unless considered ethically, is essentially barren. The city boy soon enough and easily enough becomes acquainted with the facts of municipal administration, - what offices there are, what salaries they carry, and how they are filled. What he is not likely to learn, unless the school teaches it, is the moral aspect of all civil functions, the right and wrong of them. In all these matters false standards are so common, moral distinctions have become so confused by custom, that unless the truth is apprehended clearly before selfish interests blur the vision, unless right principles are early instilled, the young man is likely to come into his heritage of citizenship morally handicapped, and society is sure to suffer thereby. Those universal principles of fairness which underlie all righteous law appeal with peculiar force to boys, are indeed inwrought by them into all their organizations. There is a fascinating monograph in the Johns Hopkins Studies in Political Science, 2d Series, No. XI., entitled "Rudimentary Society among Boys."

The Teaching of Community Civics (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Community Civics Sir: For good citizenship men and women must not only have good will, but an abiding interest in the welfare of the community. They must also have a working knowledge of social agencies, good judgment as to methods of social activities, and a more or less comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles of social life and progress. Much can be done in childhood and in the elementary grades of the school to create interest and give a certain amount of concrete knowledge of particular social activities and agencies, but not until boys and girls have reached the years of adolescence, the high-school age, can they begin to gain any very full understanding of abstract principles of social, civic, and governmental life. Instruction in this subject in the high school is therefore of utmost importance. For use in the high schools many textbooks and manuals have been prepared on this subject, some good and some not so good, but there is still need for good manuals on the subject of community civics that will help teachers to treat the subject in an inductive way and to relate it properly to other subjects and to the past, present, and future life of the students. The manuscript transmitted herewith offers such help, and I therefore recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. It was prepared by a special committee of the National Education Association's commission on the reorganization of secondary education. This special committee consists of Prof. J. Lynn Barnard, of the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy; Clarence D. Kingsley, high-school inspector for the Massachusetts State Board of Education; F. W. Carrier, principal of the Wilmington (Mass.) High School; and Arthur William Dunn, special agent in civic education for this bureau. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pages : 406
Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of History and Civics in the Elementary, and the Secondary School It is the aim of this book to aid teachers of history, and especially those who have not had special training in historical work, better to comprehend the nature of the subject. Until they have considered the development of history as a way of portraying the experience of mankind, and know something of the methods by which it seeks to reach the sure basis of fact, and until they have seriously studied the problems of historical instruction, they cannot feel a large interest in the subject, and consequently cannot inspire their pupils with such an interest. The first part of this book has been written to set them on the way toward a better comprehension of these aspects of history. The second part offers a review of the general field, which may guide those who require such help intelligently to study its many phases. While this review is constructed on the basis of the programme suggested in the first part, it may serve almost equally well where the programme in use includes only sections of the field, or distributes the matter in a different way.

Civic Education in Elementary Schools As

Book Description
Excerpt from Civic Education in Elementary Schools As: Illustrated in Indianapolis Sir: From the inception of the tax-supported public school systems in the United States, one of their most important functions has been to give the instruction and training necessary for the intelligent performance of the duties of citizenship. Indeed, this work of preparation for citizenship has been and is still one of the strongest arguments for making education a function of the State and in justification of the levying of taxes for the support of schools. As the government and industrial and social life become more democratic, the importance of this function of the schools becomes more evident and necessary and the means of giving the necessary instruction and training becomes keener and more general. For several years the public schools of the city of Indianapolis have had a reputation for unusually good work in this direction. Since example adds much to the effectiveness of theory, and may be even more useful in results, I requested Mr. Arthur W. Dunn, the bureau's specialist in civic education, to make a careful study of this work in these schools for the purpose of making a concise report of its more important features. This Mr. Dunn was the better able to do because of the fact that he was at one time connected with the schools of Indianapolis as director of instruction and training in civics. The manuscript transmitted herewith is the result of this study. I recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. Respectfully submitted.
