Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 certain fundamental defects. An examination of the extensive collection of texts in the Library of Congress, which embraces all of the most recent books on civics, shows that they fall into two groups: those which are formal and legal, and those which are "sociological," in character. The authors of the first group err, in our opinion, in treating government as a multitude of rules already well settled which, when committed to memory, are calculated to make good and wise citizens. The authors of the second group, it seems to us, in their revolt against the mechanistic theory of government, err just as much in minimizing those concrete political and administrative processes by which social work of a public character is accomplished and in emphasizing in civics private activities which are remote from official operations. For example, the principle of the separation of governmental powers, so scorned by the sociological school, is in fact more important, as we try to show, than half of the beneficent enterprises undertaken in the name of modern collectivism. And both groups of books are equally in error in so far as they seem to regard civic life as static or settled rather than dynamic and progressive.

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 Citizenship of the United States These laws, substantially the statutes enacted more than a hundred years ago when our population was less than four millions, and when it was the policy of our government to invite immigration, were ill adapted to our modern conditions, with a population of eighty mil lions and an influx of foreigners of more than a million annually. Under these laws lax and unsatisfactory methods of naturalization had grown up, opening the way to gross frauds against our citizenship, including perjury, false impersonation, and traffic in false and counterfeit certificates of citizenship. Such certificates were sometimes sold to alien criminals to secure their ad mission to the United States, and frequently to procure protection against their home governments. Cases have actually occurred where aliens have landed on our shores for the first time, having in their possession certificates entitling them to the full rights of American citizenship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizenship: Yale Lectures In May, 1900, Honorable William E. Dodge, of New York, made provision for lectures before the students of Yale University, to be known as the "Yale Lectures on the Responsibilities of Citizenship" and to be on a "topic whose understanding will contribute to the formation of an intelligent public sentiment, of high standards of the duty of a Christian citizen, and of habits of action to give effect to these sentiments and these standards." Having been honored by selection to deliver the first course of these lectures I have felt that it was fitting to present a few plain, simple, commonplace truths in respect to those responsibilities, thus laying, as it were, a foundation upon which succeeding lecturers might in a more ambitious way develop some particular form of responsibility, or some particular appeal to noble action. With this in view I have prepared the following lectures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I pledge myself to do all in my power to preserve the integrity and purity of the ballot and to promote reverence and respect for law and order.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America for Coming Citizens This book is the outgrowth of the author's belief that the Coming Citizen in our country eagerly seeks to understand the great American institu tions; that he shows a laudable curiosity on the many topics which older Americans frequently take for granted, and that it is unfair to place the burden for failure to understand America entirely on the immigrant. Within the limits of a single volume some of the most pressing questions confronting the coming citizen are answered. What is this America of which you speak? How came it to be? How are you different from us who are not yet citizens? What do I owe to your past? What must I do to participate in the present and to make glorious your future? What ought I to know as an American? What must I do to take my place as an American? The author has not hesitated to quote freely the words of such Amer icans as Franklin K. Lane, Henry van Dyke, Elihu Root, Louis D. Brandeis, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Therefore, the elements which enter into the inquiry should be considered. The first inquiry should be the means by which citizenship is acquired; whether by descent or naturalization; in either one of these two ways citizenship is generally conferred except in cases of adoption by marriage.
