Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics for Coming Americans The purpose oi this booklet is to put within reach of the foreign-born having a fair command of the English language such information as is required to pass the examination for naturalization. Many patriots, sympathizing with Coming Americans, would willingly give them a helping hand if they knew how to do so intelligently. They neither know what the applicant for naturalization needs nor are they familiar with the laws regulating the process. My effort is to give these men a guide, should they be disposed to help a group of aliens preparing for the examination in naturalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics for Young Americans In preparing this book the author has had primarily before him the fact that just such a book was wanted to throw light upon a common subject not generally or sufficiently treated in school courses of instruction. Besides there has been a paramount desire to present the subject in a form so simple and entertaining that the young reader may readily understand, and through this understanding, be led to further thought. A basis of interesting knowledge being established, further thought cannot fail to inculcate a love of our country and its laws. The subject of Civil Government involves much that requires for its comprehension mature and extended thought. In view of this fact the author has kept in mind the capabilities of young intellects, and has endeavored to treat that subject so simply, in both the choice of words and the arrangement of thought, as to insure its easy comprehension by the youngest reader. Nevertheless, it is hoped that it will prove interesting to older thinkers who may find time to read it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young American: A Civic Reader The interest of the day is not that of mere study, of sound scholarship as an end, of good books for their own sake, but of education as a power in human affairs; of educated men as an influence in the commonwealth. "Tell me," said an American scholar of Goethe, the many-sided, "what did he ever do for the cause of man?" The scholar, the poet, the philosopher, are men among other men. From these unavoidable social relations spring opportunities and duties. How do they use them? How do they discharge them? Does the scholar show in his daily walk that he has studied the wisdom of ages in vain? Does the poet sing of angelic purity and lead an unclean life? Does the philosopher peer into other worlds, and fail to help this world upon its way? Four years before our Civil War, the same scholar - it was Theodore Parker - said sadly: "If our educated men had done their duty, we should not now be in the ghastly condition we bewail." - George William Curtis.

Download or read book Reader for Coming Americans written by Peter Roberts and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reader for Coming Americans: Readings and Language Lessons in History, Industries and Government The millions of foreign-born in America, if they are to love this country, must know that the country is worth loving. The definition of the Republic, A government of the people, by the people and for the people, conveys no meaning to the alien unless he is shown how the people rule. To sing, The land Of the free and the home of the brave, is not enough; it must be accompanied by a rehearsal of some of the deeds of the free and the brave. The foreign-born can only learn by systematic teaching that America has a form of government well calculated to reflect the needs of the people; that our courts of justice guarantee to each man the fruits of his labor; that civil and religious liberty IS enjoyed by all who dwell under the shadow of the stars and stripes. These facts are a gospel of glad tidings to millions of immigrants. They come hoping for great things; it remains with us whether or not they shall realize their hope. A government dependent upon militarism and bureaucracy can afford to ignore the ignorance and illiteracy of its subjects; a democracy cannot. Our brother immigrant needs education, and when he understands that justice and truth, free dom and liberty, rights and duties, are necessary in a democracy, he will help to preserve them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Civics: For the Seventh and Eighth School Years The World War has effected great changes in governmental institutions and in international relations. New issues demand attention and some old ones have lost in relative importance. In offering "American Community Civics" for High Schools and Junior High Schools, it has been the aim of the author to preserve the main features of former editions of "American Civics," while including such new material as the times demand and making the entire work up-to-date. Although a community civics, this volume deals primarily with civics and not chiefly with economics and sociology. There is sufficient attention given to community matters to fill all requirements and enough attention is paid to civics to meet the demands of state educational authorities. Each community has its own local political, economic, and sociological interests and a good teacher will not fail to give these proper attention.

Download or read book American History and Civics Classic Reprint written by P. F. Valentine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American History and Civics An accurate knowledge of the chronology of important facts and events will be considered essential; but by chronology we do not mean dates, except in a few specified cases: we mean sequence - the order of events, so to speak - and the historic period to which the events belong. To facilitate this chronology the General Outline has been divided into periods, each representing some definite era in the development of the nation. In addition to the General Outline, a number of specific items, under the head, Items of General Intelligence, are presented. These represent a minimum summary of miscellaneous facts of common knowledge in American history. They are the every-day used facts, and are couse quently of prime importance. The student should possess a knowledge of all these facts to the extent indicated. The story of territorial growth and the expansion of settlement is a narrative of inspiring and patriotic interest that every teacher and every citizen should know. The mere elements of this story are included in the General Outline; but to facilitate its study as a distinct phase of our history, a separate outline is given. For entrance to the Normal School, no minute and judicial knowledge of the subject will be required. What we want is a possession of the simple facts of territorial acquisition and growth, coupled with the ability to tell the dramatic, soul-stirring, supremely human epic of the people in their surging westward march.
