Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Neighborhood: Good Citizenship in Rural Communities While their attention is being directed to these things, it is necessary that they be taught to think in terms well known to them and their neighbors. As citizens they must think about roads, play grounds, pig clubs, courts, seed corn, taxes, game laws; community morals, prevention of waste, pure air and water, and the prevention of diseases among people and farm animals. Their skill in handling these and similar problems will be the measure of their civilization and progress. This is especially true of those who live on farms and in small country towns. The schools that do most for the young people of the countryside will devote much time to the definite things that are close to the door-step, things that concern men and women who expect to live in the country community. This book has been prepared for the purpose of directing the attention of country boys and girls to some of the definite things they will have to do in later years as members of a community. It shows the splendid possibilities of the kind of community life that will keep boys and girls in the country where they can be independent and happy. Instructions of this kind will help to arrest the present unfortunate tendency of country youth to crowd into the narrowing and often squalid life of the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Citizenship: In Home, School, Business, and Community Education for citizenship is one of the first duties of any self-governing society. The practice of citizen ship is fully as important a duty. Since we learn by doing, we shall never become good citizens simply by studying civic relations and problems, that is, if we do no more than prepare ourselves for future duties and responsibilities. If citizenship were chiefly a matter of voting and of governmental activities, the schools would necessarily limit themselves to preparation for adult citizenship. But citizenship is far more than that. A person is a citizen because he is a member of a nation; but the nation is only the greatest and most important of a large number of civic groups of which all of us are members. A few of these groups, such as the state and municipality, are chiefly political; some of them, such as business organizations, are predominantly eco nomic; but for boys or girls real membership is limited chiefly to two social groups, the home and the school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Community and the Citizen The important changes in our community life, and especially in our methods of self-government, that have occurred during the seven years since the present volume was first published, have made a revision desirable. In no particular, however, has the original point of view been departed from, nor the method of presenting the subject modified. The soundness of a point of view and of a method of elementary in struction in citizenship, which were novel seven years ago, has been abundantly confirmed by their wide acceptance and by visible results in the life of pupils and of communities. The only justification for the book, in its original or revised form, is in its point of view and method. It will be successful in the hands of the teacher in proportion as they are realized in the work of the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Good Citizenship For many years instruction in Civics has formed a part of the curriculum of the highest grades in grammar schools and in the lowest grades in high schools. This instruction, aiming to impress upon the pupils the mean ing and importance of the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and the functions of state and municipal government, fails to benefit the child withdrawn from school before he enters the upper grades, and utterly fails to Show to children their personal obligations as little citizens. Investigation has shown that the greatest number of violations of law in large cities are due not so much to disrespect for the authority of the Law as to ignorance of the Law, especially of that part of the Law covered by local ordinances. It is far more important for the welfare of the state that a child should be made to realize his present obligations to the commonwealth than that he should know the qualifications of a Uni ted States senator. The belief that a knowledge of things close at hand should be acquired first, and that such knowledge should be made to include the personal relations of the child to the Law, is rapidly becoming an educational principle. Within recent years New York, Chicago, and other large cities have introducedinto their respective curricula instruction in Civics for the lower grades, Chicago beginning its work in this direction in the first year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What to Do for Uncle Sam: A First Book of Citizenship The United States Bureau of Education lays emphasis upon the part of the schools in training for citizenship. It urges a new teaching of the subject, beginning with the home, going on to the school, and from there into community relations. The Government asks, also, that work in civics be begun in the elementary schools. The work should embody less of the details of governmental agencies, but focus instead upon the child's own community obligations and activities. Following this thought, and taking up the pro gram of community civics outlined by the Bureau of Education, I have written What to Do for Uncle Sam, a first book in patriotism and citizen ship. At the end of each chapter I have placed questions and suggestions which establish a contact between the classroom and community life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hindrances to Good Citizenship When first I was honoured by the request to deliver this course of lectures, founded by one whom I knew and respected, and who was himself the model of a generous and public-spirited citizen, zealous in many good works, I hesitated to under take a function which could, as it seemed to me, be better discharged by some American citizen who, because he was a citizen, knew from personal ob servation and experience what are the duties and responsibilities that belong to citizenship in this country. Such a lecturer would, I thought, have the facts more thoroughly before him than a stranger could, and could deal with them more freely than one who might feel that it would be unbecoming for him to criticise the standard of civic duty in a nation to which he did not belong.

Download or read book The Teaching of Community Civics Classic Reprint written by National Education Association Studies and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Community Civics Sir: For good citizenship men and women must not only have good will, but an abiding interest in the welfare of the community. They must also have a working knowledge of social agencies, good judgment as to methods of social activities, and a more or less comprehensive understanding of fundamental principles of social life and progress. Much can be done in childhood and in the elementary grades of the school to create interest and give a certain amount of concrete knowledge of particular social activities and agencies, but not until boys and girls have reached the years of adolescence, the high-school age, can they begin to gain any very full understanding of abstract principles of social, civic, and governmental life. Instruction in this subject in the high school is therefore of utmost importance. For use in the high schools many textbooks and manuals have been prepared on this subject, some good and some not so good, but there is still need for good manuals on the subject of community civics that will help teachers to treat the subject in an inductive way and to relate it properly to other subjects and to the past, present, and future life of the students. The manuscript transmitted herewith offers such help, and I therefore recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. It was prepared by a special committee of the National Education Association's commission on the reorganization of secondary education. This special committee consists of Prof. J. Lynn Barnard, of the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy; Clarence D. Kingsley, high-school inspector for the Massachusetts State Board of Education; F. W. Carrier, principal of the Wilmington (Mass.) High School; and Arthur William Dunn, special agent in civic education for this bureau. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Community Civics and Rural Life Classic Reprint written by Arthur W. Dunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Civics and Rural Life Rural schools, and schools whose pupils have largely a back ground of rural experience, have not done as much as they should towards training for citizenship. This is largely because the text books have failed to interpret citizenship and government in terms of the actual experience of such pupils, or to stimulate team work and leadership in communities with a distinctly rural background. More over, in city and rural schools alike, there has been failure to em phasize the interdependence of rural and urban communities in a single national enterprise. Community Civics and Rural Life is planned to meet these deficiencies. There has been too much talking about citizenship in school, and too little living it from day to day. Training for Citizenship necessi tates its daily practice in school and out. In the hands of an able teacher, Community Civics and Rural Life should point the way to real community living, both now and in the future. It should teach the pupils what their real civic responsibilities are as well as their civic Opportunities and assist them to embrace them when they come. Children so trained will learn to respect, now and later, the rights of their neighbors, and will become as fair in their dealings with the government as with their fellowmen. They will furnish their communities with the right kind of leaders, unselfish and public spirited. When the time calls, they will be ready to accept and shed a new dignity upon the old positions of school trustee, highway engineer, sanitary inspector, township supervisor, county commissioner, or the more conspicuous offices of state and national government. Or as plain citizens they will lend these officials their active support for community and national betterment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town Study: Suggestions for a Course of Lessons Preliminary to the Study of Civics Many teachers are realising that Town Study, no less than Nature Study, has its claims to a place in the school programme. The School is the instrument which Society employs for the development Of its future citizens. Good citizenship depends, no doubt, upon a sense of duty, but a sense of duty is deepened by interest and understanding. These chapters are Offered to Teachers as suggestions for the treatment of topics which may arouse such interest, and thereby, it is hoped, add some impulse towards that movement for social better ment which is happily an increasing force in our time. It is throughout assumed that the Teacher will vivify the necessarily bare outlines here given by constant reference to local examples and conditions.
