Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government and People: An Introduction to the Study of Citizenship In this volume we are concerned with the second branch of activity, the study of government, and this branch is almost as important as the other. The mere stimulation of interest in public affairs may even be dangerous unless it is under proper guidance Uninformed public Spirit may, in Harrington's phrase, Spit fire and blow up castles whereas the same impulse based on adequate knowledge is more likely to lead to constructive reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government His volume is intended as a text - book for use in courses in Civil Government in secondary schools. It should (6 follow, or accompany, a high school course in American History. It is an attempt to answer the demand for that if Which is needful and important in the new civics some times called community civics, and at the same time to hold fast to that Which is good in the old. S, In introducing an educational reform there is always Q danger of over - emphasis; there is danger that we may not ?%have a good thing Without having too much of it. The '9 authors of this volume, While emphasizing community civics and the moral purposes in teaching government, have sought to avoid a one - sided course. They believe that the schools should study the community and such new civics as the changing times call for, and especially that they should give attention to current history and present day problems of democracy; but it is equally important not 3 to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the g actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are g supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre ss served, how the streets are kept clean (or dirty), how the taxes are raised and used, and how the schools are sustained. But to limit a high school coursein civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people Who are under training for citizenship.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Westel Woodbury Willoughby and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship The purpose of the present work is to present to American youths practical information as to the rights and duties which attach to American citizenship. In the effort to do this in the clearest and most logical form, the stereotyped method of giving a running commentary upon the Constitution has been discarded. 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 constitutional 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 governmental 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 complex government in particular. This book is therefore divided into two parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government and the Citizen In preparing this little book for use in schools, the author has attempted to describe those activities of our governments which will be of especial value and interest to youthful citizens. Historical accounts, comments on provisions of the state and national constitutions, and descriptions of the machinery of government have therefore been made as brief as possible. The text is arranged with the expectation that the pupils will recite on topics. If the topics considered in the numbered sections are too long, even when the marginal notes are used to help the pupil in his recitation, each pupil may be asked to recite on one paragraph only, or on a part of a paragraph, using the marginal notes as the headings of these shorter topics. Care should be taken to see that the pupils really discuss these topics, not only presenting in their own language the substance of the text, but giving additional information or suggestions of their own whenever possible. Some of the sections or paragraphs are perhaps too long, too difficult, or too general for treatment in this way.

Download or read book Addresses on Government and Citizenship written by Elihu Root and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses on Government and Citizenship The collected addresses and state papers of Elihu Root, of which this is one of several volumes, cover the period of his service as Secretary of War, as Secretary of State, and as Senator of the United States, during which time, to use his own expression, his only client was his country. The many formal and occasional addresses and speeches, which will be found to be of a remarkably wide range, are followed by his state papers, such as the instructions to the American delegates to the Second Hague Peace Conference and other diplomatic notes and documents, prepared by him as Secretary of State in the performance of his duties as an executive officer of the United States. Although the official documents have been kept separate from the other papers, this plan has been slightly modified in the volume devoted to the military and colonial policy of the United States, which includes those portions of his official reports as Secretary of War throwing light upon his public addresses and his general military policy. The addresses and speeches selected for publication are not arranged chronologically, but are classified in such a way that each volume contains addresses and speeches relating to a general subject and a common purpose. The addresses as president of the American Society of International Law show his treatment of international questions from the theoretical standpoint, and in the light of his experience as Secretary of War and as Secretary of State, unrestrained and uncontrolled by the limitations of official position, whereas his addresses on foreign affairs, delivered while Secretary of State or as United States Senator, discuss these questions under the reserve of official responsibility.

Download or read book Citizenship Sovereignty Classic Reprint written by John S. Wright and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship, Sovereignty The first volume of the work or compilation, of which this publication is a compend, to be entitled Our F deral Union: State Rights And Wrongs, will be published about 15th March. The volumes will contain 500 to 550 pages each, similar to this in type and arrangement. One is to be published each six or eight weeks, and sold in muslin binding at $3. Five volumes will probably suffice for the compilation, which is designed to furnish an epitome of governmental principles, historical facts, documents (each of which will be given entire), the substance of important debates, and of influential opinions in private and published letters, tracts, and other publications, and also a short examination of other Governments, to discover the right of our Revolution, and the superior excellences, and confused but not complicated systems, of our State and Federal Governments. Every family in the land needs this information, which is now scattered through hundreds of volumes, many expensive and inaccessible, in order to enable each Citizen, and the young lad who is soon to be a Citizen, to understand his individual rights, exalted privileges, responsible duties; and also the rights and wrongs of these Sovereign States. The wonder is not that we are in civil war, but that, with our ignorance of principles, and mistakes in theory, our practice has been so nearly correct. To the statesman and politician, the compilation, if at all a success, will be particularly valuable; bringing together for the first time documents, opinions, and principles, to which everyone needs to refer more or less often. The marginal notes, with the thorough index which shall be supplied, will make reference quite convenient; and until superseded by something better, it will be the American statesman's manual. In such a work some would like room to record notes and comments; and should the demand justify, an edition will be printed on superior paper, with wide margin for writing, and in strong binding. Subscribers will please intimate their wish, and should an extra edition be printed, the volumes of this edition will be received in exchange, if uninjured, the party paying the difference in price. The terms are already low, considering the present high cost of materials and the amount of reading supplied, but it is proposed to still further reduce them. The kind patrons in New York and those in Chicago, who have thus far advanced the funds for publication, will not permit delay for the lack of means. But not to encroach unnecessarily on their liberality, it is proposed to supply the five volumes for $13 paid in advance. Remittances can be made to the subscriber, either at Chicago, or directed to Station D, New York City, where most of his time must necessarily be spent until the publication is finished.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of the American Citizen IN many of the political writings of the day, there is a tendency to lay too much stress on the mechanism of government and of industry, and too little stress on the force by which this mechanism is kept at work. In recent educational movements, also, too much thought is perhaps given to the problem of preparing men and women to take their several places in a social machine, and too little to the development of that power and spirit upon which the perpetuation of our whole social order depends. From my public addresses and magazine articles of the past few years, I have tried to select those which emphasize the more neglected side of these questions, and to arrange them in a continuous series. In a book thus prepared, it is inevitable that there should be some repe tition and some apparent inconsistencies. If the reader is perplexed by any of these things, he will perhaps find the explanation in the date of the different utterances and the special conditions under which they were made public.

Download or read book Civics and Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Anna E. Arnold and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics and Citizenship The text-book in civil government that concerns itself exclusively with an analysis of the machinery and powers of government leaves in the pupils' minds a gap between the subject-matter studied and the conditions surrounding them that they seldom bridge. They see little connection between civil government and the problems that they hear discussed on every side. A knowledge of the fundamental principles of government is necessary, but it is necessary because it must serve as a basis for a knowledge of the workings of government. The real purpose of the study of civics is that of training for citizenship. The pupils should be led to see the relation between government and the everyday affairs of life, and the relations of individuals to each other; the relation of health, education, and industry to the public welfare; the relation of honesty to civic duties; the importance of obedience to law and authority. There is nothing more interesting to the boys and girls than the affairs of the world in which they are so soon to take part, and if it can be made clear to them that their welfare will depend largely upon government, there will be no question about their interest in this subject. This result can be brought about only by making the study of government as personal as possible, through a study of the home, the school, and the community. A text-book can at best be but a framework for such study; it should be amplified by observing local conditions, and the functions and activities of local government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For Peace, and Peaceable Separation: Citizen's Democratic Address, to the People of the State of Ohio, and the People of the Several States of the West and North Of every badge of self-government, under a civil or mili tary consolidation, centralized in the city of new-york by the force of some major-general, or the fraud of statesmen, to whom that city is the fulcrum. From the very edge of such a precipice, which it is wise to foresee, and patriot ism to denounce, we call on the interior States, Ohio at. Their hea'd, to prepare their minds against a more intolerable despotism than the present. When this sectional war with the South comes to an end, by an acknowledged separa tion, the law of self-preservation will force us to fly to tlie State - Rights doctrine of the Federal system. We must assert our right to choose our associates for the State of Ohio and her sister States, and make such reservations, ex pressly of our social and political independence, as will deter any-set of masters from trying their hands at consolida tion of State-sovereignties into one Imperial Republic. The foundation of the Federal system is the unanimous consent of the States, who are each and all its voluntary constit neuts, and solely bound within the union by their separ ate consent. When we take our stand there, we are safe; for the fortress that never yields to secret or open foe, t( blows or bribes, is for both men and States, in peace and war the same-it is the rock of principle.

We are coming to see as never before the unity of all human relations. The business of government is not an isolated thing, nor is it a fixed and finished scheme. It is constantly changing and growing, like a live thing. It has a beginning in the family and home; it touches every neighborly relation; it is con cerned with the uses, the getting, spending, saving, and holding of money, and the rightful distribution of property.

In this chosen field he attained the highest rank as an educator, and has left his impress upon the in tellectual thought of the country. From the Presidency of Princeton University he was called by his fellow citizens to be the Chief Executive of the State of New Jersey. The duties of this high office he so conducted as to win the confidence of the people of the United States, who twice elected him to the Chief Magistracy of the Republic. As President of the United States he was moved by an earnest desire to promote the best interests of the country as he conceived them. His acts were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of purpose can not be questioned. He led the nation through the terrific struggle Of the world war with a lofty idealism which never failed him. He gave utterance to the aspiration of humanity with an eloquence which held the attention of all the earth and made America a new and enlarged in uence in the destiny of mankind.
