Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Civics and Rural Life Let youth help shape the world while the vision splendid is still before its eyes. - Jerome K. Jerome. A year ago the author published his Community Civics and Rural Life, in the Introduction to which it was stated that: "Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen." The present book is fundamentally the same book as Community Civics and Rural Life; but, being prepared tor the use of pupils whose experience is urban, it presents, in accordance with the principle stated in the foregoing paragraph, certain essential differences. The controlling ideas around which all the subject matter of both books is organized are: 1. The common purposes in our community life; 2. Our interdependence in attaining these common purposes; 3. The consequent necessity for cooperation; and, 4. Government as an agency by which to secure cooperation in attaining common ends. Team work through government for the achievement of common purposes may be said to be the motif that runs prominently through the entire text. A few of the chapters in the present book stand practically as written for the rural book, with only slight revision: as, for example, the opening chapter, the chapters on "Our National Community" and "A World Community" (VII and VIII), and the concluding chapters on governmental organization (except for the addition of a chapter on "Our City Government").

This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, like the author's earlier one, The Community and the Citizen, is a "community civics" text. Two purposes led to the preparation of this second volume. The first was to produce a text that would meet the needs of pupils and teachers who live outside of the environment of the large city. Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But, if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen. This does not imply that urban conditions should be ignored in the civic education of the rural citizen. On the contrary, one of the things that every citizen should be led to appreciate is the interdependence of country and city in a unified national life. In the present volume emphasis is given to this interdependence. For this reason, and because of the fundamental principles which have controlled the development of the text, it is believed that the book may perform a distinct service even in city schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Life and Civic Problems The conception underlying the book is the Biblical propo sitiou that no man liveth to himself alone. All his life he dwells, works, and plays with other men who are associated with him for reasons like his own in various kinds of groups. In short, human life is group life. Man enters the world as a member of the family group; as a child he receives educa tion in a school group; for religious solace and inspiration he usually depends on the church group; in daily occupation he works with others in industrial groups; to secure safety and certain services he is a member of political groups. His dependence on others and the dependence of others on him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
