Download or read book Studies in Civics Classic Reprint written by J. T. McCleary and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Civics The thought constantly in mind in the preparation of this book has been to furnish useful material in usable form. Attention is invited to the scope of the work. The Constitution of the United States, not a mere abstract of it but a careful study of the text, is properly given much space but is not allowed a monopoly of it. Each of our governmental institutions deserves and receives a share of consideration. The order of presentation - beginning with the town, where the student can observe the operations of government, and proceeding gradually to the consideration of government in general - is based upon conclusions reached during eighteen years of experience in teaching this subject. Matter to be used chiefly for reference is placed in the appendix. Attention is asked to the amount of information which, by means of tabulations and other modes of condensation, is therein contained. Documents easily obtainable, such as the Declaration of Independence, are omitted to make room for typical and other interesting documents not usually accessible. Is this book intended to be an office-holders' manual? No; but it is intended to help students to get an insight into the way in which public business is carried on. Is it designed as an elementary treatise on law? No; but the hope is indulged that the young people who study it will catch something of the spirit of law, which to know is to respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Civics Many excellent textbooks are already available for the teaching of civics. Why should another be added to the number? Wherein does this book differ from the rest? What are its outstanding features? The Plan. This book covers a wider range than most texts. It includes not only a survey of governmental framework and functions, but many topics which are ordinarily spoken of as questions in economics, sociology, and international relations. The propriety of including such topics scarcely requires a defensive argument nowadays, for the old lines of demarcation in the social sciences are rapidly breaking down. The problems of our complex modern civilization pay no heed to technical boundaries. They are the joint product of political, social, and economic forces. No one can get a grasp of them if he lets his mind run on a single track. A well-organized course in civics, or in the problems of democracy, should acquaint the student with the great institutions, relations, and principles which dominate the life of the community. To accomplish this end it should carry him as far afield as need be. The Method. Nevertheless, the main theme of this book is American government. No matter what the topic under discussion, the authors have tried to link it up with the drift and purposes of governmental action and policy.

Download or read book Elementary Civics written by Charles McCarthy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Civics: The New Civics WE have not attempted to carry out any stereotyped idea of a text book in Civics. Our aim has been to give the child of the upper grammar grades such an understand ing of his relation to other people as will make him a good citizen. That understanding can come only with a knowl edge of the difficulties the human race has had in learning to live and work together. An appreciation of the advan tages to him of the present stage of cooperation can be gained only with a knowledge of the slow and patient steps which have brought us to that stage. A zeal for carrying the human race still further forward in its ability to live and work together can be inspired in the hearts of all our children only when the advantages of the present and the future are made to stand out against the disadvantages of the past. It is faith that we all need; and by faith we mean the belief that we can bring to pass the good we desire for the human race. We have told the story, therefore, of a few of the struggles which our ancestors have had in order to obtain and transmit to us some of the things which we now con sider essential to our comfort and happiness. The child can grasp the idea of a mountain as early as he can grasp the phenomenon of erosion on that mountain. In the same way, he can grasp the great movements of society as easily as he can grasp the petty details of township or county organization. Big things, if taught as simply, are as easy to grasp as little things. If the child is ever to have the proper perspective he must see the great background against which the little details stand out.

Download or read book Preparing for Citizenship written by William Backus Guitteau and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparing for Citizenship: An Elementary d104book in Civics At the close of each chapter in the text, the teacher will find questions and topics for further study and investigation. The more simple investigations only should be undertaken in classes composed of the younger pupils. Care should be exercised, also, in selecting only questions of especial interest to the particular community; for example, rural schools will naturally omit many questions pertaining to urban conditions, and vice versa. As a rule, it will be best to assign one question to each pupil, or to a group of pupils, to be reported on at a future date. The teacher should suggest sources of information for pupils to make use of in their investigations. Often the parents, or older brothers and sisters, can give the necessary help; or, again, it may be advisable to consult local officials for information concerning their work. Members of the class should be encouraged to visit township, county, and municipal offices; and local officials should he invited to come before the class and describe the business of their departments. Added interest may be secured by organizing the class into a town meeting, or as a city council, State legislature, or branch of Congress. A bulletin board in the classroom for newspaper clippings pertaining to governmental affairs will prove interesting and helpful.

Download or read book Hints on Teaching Civics Classic Reprint written by George Henry Martin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Teaching Civics It is the purpose of the author in preparing these "Hints" to enrich the content of the instruction in civics. The study of civil government is properly a department of ethics, and unless considered ethically, is essentially barren. The city boy soon enough and easily enough becomes acquainted with the facts of municipal administration, - what offices there are, what salaries they carry, and how they are filled. What he is not likely to learn, unless the school teaches it, is the moral aspect of all civil functions, the right and wrong of them. In all these matters false standards are so common, moral distinctions have become so confused by custom, that unless the truth is apprehended clearly before selfish interests blur the vision, unless right principles are early instilled, the young man is likely to come into his heritage of citizenship morally handicapped, and society is sure to suffer thereby. Those universal principles of fairness which underlie all righteous law appeal with peculiar force to boys, are indeed inwrought by them into all their organizations. There is a fascinating monograph in the Johns Hopkins Studies in Political Science, 2d Series, No. XI., entitled "Rudimentary Society among Boys."

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 The New Civics a Textbook for Secondary Schools Classic Reprint written by Roscoe Lewis Ashley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Civics a Textbook for Secondary Schools Tms book deals with American citizens in their collective relations to one another. It treats also a few important individual relations which are of such importance socially that they are really public in character. It is easy to see why a high school textbook in civics should place emphasis, first upon the citizen and citizenship, secondly, upon the public as an organized group of citizens, and thirdly, on the activities of the governments which the citizens have created and through which the public cares for many of its collective interests. Practically all of this material has been tried out in classes by the author and others and has been revised to meet high school needs as perfectly as possible. This book is really an introduction to the study of the new civics. The civics which is studied to-day is naturally difier ent from that of a generation ago, and from that of a decade ago. The form and functions of many American governments have changed in the last quarter century; the spirit of Ameri can government has changed even more. The greatest change has been, not in the government itself, but in the purpose and aim of high school courses in civics. Once we were content to examine constitutions. Next, we added an elaborate study of the organization of our governments. Still later, we emphasized the activities of government as more important than constitutions and governmental ma chinery. Now, we stress citizenship, because the youthful citizen should know how society is organized and what he should do for society as well as what it does for him, as a citizen and a member of that society. In the author's opinion the new civics is and should be the heart of the new high school course in the social sciences.

Download or read book Civic Education written by David Snedden and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Education: Sociological Foundations and Courses Hundreds, probably thousands, of the teachers and others interested in schools are now wrestling with the problems of civic education. They believe that our country' needs more and better education for citizenship than it is now getting. It appears to them that our public and private schools, both higher and lower, have thus far made but partial and insufficient contributions toward the civic knowledge and idealism that our country, with its complex economic and political life, certainly needs. These schools do achieve much in general education; but of purposive civic education they give little, and that little is too often made futile by its formalism or wasted by its puerility. America needs more and better education for citizenship - to that proposition all will give ready assent. Many commissions are studying ways and means of civic and other forms of social education. Special efforts are being made everywhere in teacher-training institutions to inspire and equip regular or special teachers for this difficult work. Philanthropy finances the "scouting education" of the Boy Scout movement in large part because of its promising contributions to good citizenship. The exactions of the war and the economic perturbations consequent on the war have forced us to see that our political institutions, serviceable as they have become, are not fully equal to the social loads they must carry. Hence the current varied and intense aspirations for more extended and more scientific civic education in schools, especially those that claim our children from their twelfth to their eighteenth years. Statesmen and other students of social life are insistent in their demands. Progressive educators are generally awake to the need.
