Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections Upon the Administration of Justice in Pennsylvania A Citizen of New York not long ago remarked to me, that, wherever he had been in Pennsylvania, he heard complaints of the bad administration of the laws. In New York, he said, these complaints were not heard. The people there were not only satisfied with their courts of justice, but seemed to take a pride in them. It must be something unusual that would delay the decision of a suit, in that state, longer than a twelvemonth; and, a large majority of the causes was disposed of in nine, and many of them in six, months after they were brought. And yet, he said, the systems of law in the two states were the same, or did not materially differ. Each state had, in an equal degree, its republican institutions and manners.

This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Public Instruction in Pennsylvania A large common school placed under the care of the Seminary, where each teacher can apply his knowledge and acquire experience and tact. The young men by reviews, taking notes, constant practice in oral and written lectures, and by the experience of the model school, must acquire the knowledge, and at the end manifest preparation and fitness to teach by examinations before impartial and qualified judges. The want of appropriate text-books, suited to this peculiar disci pline and science, will call for preparing such as are most essential. But the reliance must be oral and original communication of know ledge and practice. The relations and uses of one study to throw light-on others - the intimate connexion of the parts of the same branch, a just introductory survey at beginning, a review at the close are means of sure results. Whatever is worthy of being taught Should be made the subject of direct instruction in its natural connexion and' assigned place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics of Pennsylvania Civil government has been looked upon generally as the science of national activity. Not only has the state as a governing authority received little attention, but its rela tion to the nation has been viewed in a distorted perspec tive. Naturally the student has come to look on state sovereignty and national supremacy as wholly external to himself, and apart from each other, instead of consonant elements in a great system. An examination of the powers exercised and the duties rendered by those local organs with which he is more or less acquainted by actual contact will enable him toplace both sovereignties in their proper positions with reference to each other. While this brief exposition of the government of Pennsylvania has been prepared to serve as a supplement for those who are already familiar with the important elements of civics, its further purpose is to aid the student to understand the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Desecration and Profanation of the Pennsylvania Capitol We in Pennsylvania have recently been giv' ing a like exhibition of ourselves. We havetreated our Capitol after the same fashion, with a similar lack of decency and good sense. For four years I have waited patiently until the Courts should finish their consideration of the cases brought before them. It was the only proper course to pursue. It would have been better for the material interests and the reputation of the Commonwealth if others had acted with the same sense of propriety. I now propose to speak. It is my duty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Few Words for Honest Pennsylvania Democrats Unfortunately, however, the long continued neglect of their political duties by the people had for years been placing the management of parties in the hands of men less and less reputable. The Democracy was never more thoroughly and efficiently organized, but its organization was controlled by those who had made politics a trade, whose livelihood was dependent on political success, and who could not rise above the considerations of selfish ambi tion. Such men could not appreciate the motives which led their fellow Democrats to abandon expediency for patriotism, and to sacrifice their private interests for the public good. Controlling the machinery of the party, they therefore read out their former comrades and leaders, and released from the trammels which the loyalty of the latter would have imposed; they have since then been using the honest masses of the Democracy with the single purpose of furthering their personal advancement, regardless of the ruin which may be entailed upon the country by the gratifica tion of their unholy ambition. As citizens of Pennsylvania, we shall in a few weeks he called upon to decide upon which side our great common wealth is to stand. \ve are to choose a Governor who will represent the second State in the Union during three years which must prove the most momentous in the history of the Republic. The voice of our State is too potential to be lightly disregarded, and it behooves her people to weigh well, how, and in what cause that voice is to be raised. It may prove, in truth, that our coming election may decide not only our own destinies, but those of the whole country; and every voter as he casts his ballot, must be prepared to assume the dread responsibility, not of his own acts, but those of the men whom he will thus assist in elevating to power. It therefore becomes his first and highest duty to learn the objects and purposes of those who solicit his suffrage. Let us then see what the leaders of the Demo cratic party have published as their principles, and let us deduce the results which may be expected from their success.

This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Hon. James Buchanan of Pennsylvania Opinion umversally indicated Mr. Buchanan as pre-emi uently the man for the mission; and so warmly was he urged to accept it, and so flattering to himself, and so exacting upon his patriotism, were the grounds upon which his acceptance was pressed, that he could no longer persist in his hesitation; but with that careful and just regard to the gallant corps of Democrats who had carried Pennsylvania for Pierce and King, he made it a condition of his acceptance, that his appoint ment should not be considered as accorded to his State, thereby diminishing in the least the share of appoint ments to which Pennsylvania was entitled. The condi tion was freely assented to, and Mr. Buchanan was ap pointed, not as a Pennsylvanian, but as a citizen from the country at large. It was well known that no motive had such a con trolling weight in reconciling Mr. Buchanan to the sur render of the pleasures and the pursuits of his retirement, as the hope that he might be the means of terminating all our controversies with Great Britain, and satisfacto rily adjusting our relations with that power, in one grand comprehensive treaty, upon a firm, honorable, and enduring basis. N 0 higher consideration could have presented itself to the mind and heart of a patriot; and no less a motive could have induced Mr. Buchanan to again resume a public career, which he had gladly regarded as forever closed.

There have been numerous essays toward it. From the time of Robert Proud down to a more recent day. Some of them worthy of much appre ciation and deserving of high praise.

This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Government and Geography of Carbon County, Pennsylvania Our education to-day lacks thoroughness. Children are taught a great many things not necessary for them to know, and they are not properly grounded in things that are essential. The lawmakers, the newspapers, the business men, and the general public are about unanimous on this point. The opinion is general that children on leaving school have accumulated a wide variety of information which helps them but little, if at all, toward making a living or of being of service to any one. Schools should be modified to overcome these Objections. Many portions of the common branches do not in any vital way touch the life Of industry which most of the children will want to, or will have to live. It is possible to select the absolute essentials which form the basis of later school work as well as of practical life, and make these the subject matter Of instruction. SO much of what is unessential may be filtered out, that time may be found to do well and thoroughly what is really necessary, and yet leave time for the introduction of things which will fit children more directly for service. We must not continue to turn children out of school who are utterly unequipped for their duties, or who have only the vaguest notions of anything that is useful.

Croise of a life of piety and usefulness. As he ripened in age he grew convinced of the correctness, in principle and practice, of the religious body with whom he found himself associated; and soon became, as he continued till the day of his death, one of their most valued, consistent, useful, and influential members. He became an excellent classical scholar at the college of Philadelphia; acquiring a facility in speaking, and a correctness in criticising the Latin lan guage, which was often admired, when, at a subsequent period, he attended the examinations of the public schools under the care of Friends; and, in addition to the branches of study then universal among well informed'men, he ac quired a high degree of proficiency in the French language.

Download or read book The American Citizen in Pennsylvania written by Albert E. Maltby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Citizen in Pennsylvania: The Government of the State and of the Nation The purpose of this work is to present to the pupils in the public schools in the Commonwealth some practical infor mation as to the rights and duties which belong to American citizenship. The study of civics is {now receiving increased attention in our schools, particularly since the school laws require that teachers shall have a fair knowledge of civil government, including State and local government. In view of this legislation, a text - book to meet the needs of the schools should treat the local and State government as at least of equal importance with that of the Nation. It has been said that many a youth has grown to manhood with so little ap preciation of the Commonwealth in which he lives as to re gard it simply as a geographical division. The study of the State government and of the National Government are of equal importance. The student of civil government should begin with that which is near at hand and of immediate interest, and proceed to that which is distant and of remote concern. He should not begin with that rare and precious afterthought and flower of government, the Constitution of the United States, but with the material forms that are close at hand. In connection with the ordinary lessons in reading, the children should be made acquainted with words suggesting civic ideas, as cit izen, soldier, officer, law, justice, country, state, city, and nation. Then, in elementary lessons, the children should gain general notions of local government and organization.
