Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Actual Government in Illinois How may a civics teacher make vital the study of State and local government in Illinois? What are the essential facts with which the immature pupil should be familiar at the end of the course? What method of instruction will most quickly arouse his interest and give him the best training in citizenship? An earnest attempt has been made in this brief text book to suggest an answer, in part, to these important questions. The first indispensable requisites are enthusiasm and active interest in the subject on the part of the teacher. A bored, indifferent teacher can never kindle interest or enthusiasm in the minds of high-school pupils of civics, or guide them into the broad, far-reaching fields of citizenship. The essential facts of government, particularly State and local, are dry as sawdust unless vitalized by a live teacher through connecting them at every step with the actual government in the community in which the pupils live. Among the necessary devices to arouse interest and catch the attention is the bulletin board. Try a large one covered with dark green felt and hang it in a conspicuous place. If your pupils have access to Chicago dailies, they will be keenly interested in illustrating their note-books from the cartoons. A very interesting, instructive commentary on local and State government can be made by these cartoons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the People of the State of Illinois IT has seemed to the author that the wisdom of the fathers, in separating the functions of government into three departments, and entrusting them to different groups of persons, was not sufficiently appreciated. The changes which are suggested by the discontented of to-day' would practically destroy this' safeguard of our liberties. If this little volume shall assist in impressing upon the youth of our State, not only the excellence of the dis tinction between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers, but also the fact that safety lies in keeping them distinct, the object of the writer will be attained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Local Government in Illinois: A Bibliography This bibliography has been designed to aid those persons who desire knowledge of problems, achievements, and processes of state and local government in Illinois, other than that embodied in statutes, court decisions, and reports of administrative agencies. The emphasis is on materials dealing at length with specific issues of state-wide significance. Social, economic, and political histories and similar studies have been added as necessary background but kept to a short list of outstanding works. Studies pertaining to a single unit of local government have generally been omitted, although exceptions have been made particularly in the case of the several significant studies of Chicago government and problems. Materials for inclusion in this bibliography are largely restricted to information on the practice of government in Illinois under the Constitution of 1870 up to September 1953 and only a few items relating to the period before 1900 have been listed. Although there is justification for including materials even back to the territorial laws, available resources dictated a limitation to more current materials. A cross reference system in the table of contents has been de vised to aid the user of this bibliography in locating works that touch on one or more subject matters. This alternative subject list ing should be searched by those persons desirous of making an exhaustive study of a particular problem area.

Download or read book Federal and State Government written by Donald Littlefield Morrill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal and State Government: An Elementary Treatise on the Civil Government of the United States and the State of Illinois In the opinion of competent critics, writers of these books have gone to extremes in their efforts to observe the pedagogic precept of commencing instruction upon any subject with those features which are nearest to the pupil. Under this theory, in many text-books the study of civics is commenced with chapters upon domestic and social topics, which have no place in a work devoted to the study of civil government. This book is designed for use by students who are sufficiently advanced to take up the study of United States history. It should be used in the higher grades of the elementary schools, or the first year of the high school, or both, according to the course of study pursued. It is divided into two parts: the first is devoted to a study of the Federal government and political system; the second to the State government and local institutions of Illinois. In the first part of the book, it has been the authors aim to furnish aid to students commencing the study of our national political institutions. Therefore, definite and specific information is given as to the essential features of the Federal system, derived from sources not readily accessible to either teacher or pupil. No attempt has been made to analyze the provisions of the Federal Constitution, or to present controversies as to its construction, but there has been an endeavor to show the actual working of our national government, and to describe the same in a manner which can be comprehended by beginners. The second part of the book is intended as a practical guide to the student upon important matters which are regulated by the local and State government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Civil Government of Illinois: With a Brief Outline of the Political History of the State to the Adoption of the Constitution The time evidently is at hand for a forward movement of the educational forces Of this State in the line Of a more formal endeavor to make a good citizen. Hitherto it seems to have been assumed that no distinctive instruction in citizenship was necessary, but that there was a potency in the spelling book and 'the other branches commonly taught which was sufficient, although it is a matter Of everyday Observation that a man may be even highly educated and still a very poor citizen. TO this lack Of familiarity with the spirit and form Of our govern ment can doubtless be traced no small part Of the political indifference Of our day. To win this battle for good citizenship many forces may be called into action, but none are more prominently before the teachers than what may be called the tactics Of good citizen ship namely, Civil Government.
