Book excerpt: Excerpt from How We Are Governed in Virginia and the Nation In the manner of approaching the subject the author-has been moved by the further conviction that the elementary teaching of civil government will always be a bugbear and a failure unless its chief purpose is to relate the child in an intimate and personal way to the activities of govern ment. To' the pupil of less than high school age the powers and the functions of the State auditor or the organization of, and procedure in, the civil courts of the State are very dry subjects indeed, and very naturally so. But if he lives in a city, he probably takes a lively interest in the fire department, in the police, in the many things the city undertakes to do for the health of the community - things, such as a sewerage system, which he knows about but has perhaps never thought to ascribe to the government. Or if he lives in the country, he is doubtless vitally interested in what his county is doing tor-improve roads or to con solidate schools. It has been the conscious purpose Of the author in the first six chapters Of this book to make the child above all else, see the government as a real, active thing about him, a thing Of which he is a part. It is only after the pupil's interest has been thoroughly aroused to note the many operations Of the government that the effort is made-to Show him how the government Of his State is supported, organized, and Operated. This is done in as simple language as possible. The child mind is kept constantly in v1ew, and emphasis is laid upon the actual Operation Of the machinery of government rather than upon elaborate details of its organization. Obviously it is more difficult to infuse this same personal element into the child's study of the national government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representation in Virginia By a charter dated April 10, 1606, James I authorized the settlement of two colonies in the territory of Virginia. Each colony was to have a resident council Of thirteen to govern according to the laws and ordinances constituted by the king. In addition to these, there was to be one supreme council in England having control, under the supervision of the king, of the government of the two colonies.' Following this charter, on November 20, 1 606, James issued the articles Of government for the two colonies.2 These were the laws by which the colonies were to be governed. James appointed the Council Of Virginia (the council residing in England), granting it no power or authority except at his pleasure and will. It was simply to have the power to appoint the subordinate councils that were to reside in Virginia, and to give directions for the governing of the same. The king reserved to himself the right to change, alter, or abolish the council. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Government in Virginia, 1700-1775: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University of Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy It is thus readily seen that a careful study of the administration of the government after 1690 would furnish an account of a very im portant.and in fact, not well known period in the history of the colony. From 1651 to 1695 Parliament had passed certain navigation acts, but they were not rigorously enforced. After 1695, however, when England sought to give systematic form to her colonial adminis tration, and to apply strictly a commercial policy, the new navigation act was made effective in its application. It was soon after this date that the permanent Board of Trade was established, and also that more attention was given to the formation of a regular system of royal officials in the colony. After this date, and even beginning with Culpeper (1682) and Howard the instructions to the governors included many matters of detail, showing the care ful attention given by the home government to affairs in the colony. The wars With France and Spain, zhad no small part in influencing the attitude of England towards her colonies. This was the begin ning of England's naval supremacy, and it was at this time that the mother country desired more than ever before, to utilize the colonies as a source of naval supplies. It was during the first twenty-five years of this middle period (1690-1715) that there were numerous complaints against the colonies for the violation of the acts of trade. English merchants complained of irregularities, and the colonists maintained that the demands of the merchants were unjust.

Download or read book History and Government of West Virginia Classic Reprint written by Virgil Anson Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Government of West Virginia The idea of preparing a history of West Virginia as text-book for use in the public and private schools of the State was not born of a sudden impulse. For more than a quarter of a century the author has been engaged in public school work, and nearly all that time in active classwork in the schoolroom. While so engaged he became strongly impressed with the fact that any course of instruction is seriously defective if it does not include a study that enables pupils to grow familiar with the history of their own State and people. History is also entitled to a place in the curriculum because it possesses high value as a character-builder, because its subject-matter is in itself deeply interesting, and because it readily leads into other subjects of the school course. This book has been prepared for the use of schools, and its aim is to place in the hands of the children of West Virginia a faithful, non-sectarian and non-partisan history of the State in which they will eventually have to discharge the duties of citizens or residents. As West Virginia is one of the many States composing the Great Republic, enough of national history has been interwoven to enable the pupil to perceive in what manner and to what extent the local laws, customs and institutions of the State have been affected by events occurring in the progress of the Nation.

Since this is true, and since ours is a government which the people themselves must operate, it seems manifestly desirable that some time should be given in the elementary schools to a consideration of the activities of the government. This book has been written for the pupils of the elementary schools. Government in the United States is exceedingly complicated in organization. It is not to be expected that children will find interest in, or be able to understand, all of its intricate details. The fundamental principles of its organization are not, however, beyond their understanding; and, if properly presented to them, there is no reason why the functional activities of the government should not enlist their keen interest. It is perhaps not of vital importance that the child in school should be able to memorize the titles, the powers, and the duties of the innumerable officers who carry on the work of the government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Administration in Virginia In 1846, following an enthusiastic educational convention which had been held in Richmond the preceding year, the General Assembly passed an act providing for a free school system.1 But this act, like that of 1796, contained what was in fact a nullifying clause: it required the assent of two thirds of the electors of any county before it could go into effect there. The insincerity of a bill which required a two thirds majority was so apparent that during the same ses sion certain counties were granted permission to introduce public free schools, if the majority of the electors should vote affirmatively. Though the plan was adopted by nine of the counties, it seems to have survived until the Civil War in Norfolk County only.2 Conducted without central supervision, by local Officers who received only nominal pay, success could hardly have been expected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice in Colonial Virginia When Virginia was settled, English institutions came with the settlers; but these institutions had, in many cases, to undergo changes before they were prepared to enter the new environment into which they were carried by coloniza tion. They had to return to their infancy and in some in stances to pass through stages of growth in the new world similar to those through which they had already gone in the old. This second evolution was more rapid than the first; and America in one century reached a stage in institutional progress which it had taken Europe more than a millennium to attain. Only those parts of the old constitution that were suited to the new conditions survived and became a perma nent part of the colonial system of government. For the first decade of its existence, Virginia's constitution, there fore, presented few points of similarity to its great proto type, and, in fact, it was not until 1619 that the likeness of the colonial government to that of the mother country be came plainly discernible.
