Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen's Part in Government A large part Of mankind still regard govern ment as something quite apart from the main business Of life - something which is undoubtedly necessary to enable them to attend to their busi ness, but only incidental or accessory to it. They plough and sow and harvest; they manufacture and buy and sell; they practise the professions and the arts; they write and preach; they work and they play, under a subconscious impression that government is something outside all this real busi ness - a function to be performed by some one else with whom they have little or no concern, as the janitor of an apartment house, whom somebody or other has hired to keep out thieves and keep the furnace running. In reality, government is an essential part in every act of all this wide range Of human activity. If it is bad, ruin comes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government His volume is intended as a text - book for use in courses in Civil Government in secondary schools. It should (6 follow, or accompany, a high school course in American History. It is an attempt to answer the demand for that if Which is needful and important in the new civics some times called community civics, and at the same time to hold fast to that Which is good in the old. S, In introducing an educational reform there is always Q danger of over - emphasis; there is danger that we may not ?%have a good thing Without having too much of it. The '9 authors of this volume, While emphasizing community civics and the moral purposes in teaching government, have sought to avoid a one - sided course. They believe that the schools should study the community and such new civics as the changing times call for, and especially that they should give attention to current history and present day problems of democracy; but it is equally important not 3 to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the g actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are g supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre ss served, how the streets are kept clean (or dirty), how the taxes are raised and used, and how the schools are sustained. But to limit a high school coursein civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people Who are under training for citizenship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government Class Book: A Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Constitutional Government and Law; Part I, Principles of Government; Part II, the Government of Illinois The study of the principles of political science is a necessary part of a liberal education. In a country where the people govern themselves the science of gov ermnent is a necessary part of a common-school educa tion. In the United States the people elect their own law-makers and rulers, establish their own constitu: tions, and determine even the fundamental principles upon which men Shall be governed. The danger of entrusting such power to the ignorant has not failed of illustration in our States and cities. Having universal suffrage, the people must learn to govern themselves for the sake of their own preservation and welfare. Nor is a knowledge of the principles of legal science less necessary to every citizen. The laws of man know as little of mercy as the laws of nature, in that law never admits ignorance as an excuse for wrong. It is a proof of the essential justice of our system of juris prudence, 'that so many citizens pass safely through life, totally ignorant of the law, and relying merely upon their own sense of what should be. And yet every day gives proof that ignorance is always dan gercus. The study of such a work as this will not make a youth a lawyer, but it will fix in his mind a system of broad principles, which cannot fail to be useful practically.

Download or read book The Citizen written by Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen: A Study of the Individual and the Government It is commonly supposed by those who have to do with young people that they cannot be brought to understand large matters relating to the management of public affairs, which are cared for by our government in its various forms of town, county, state, and national authorities. My own belief, based on many years' experience as a teacher, leads me to the conviction that this view is quite mistaken: that so far from being unfitted to deal with such questions, young men and women are naturally interested in knowing those things which pertain to their duties in the wide field of life upon which they are entering. Therefore it is with some confidence that I have determined to set forth in the following pages the leading facts concerning the relations of the citizens of this country - men and women alike - to the systems of the society and the government in which we all have to play our part. Large as are the questions which have to be dealt with, they are made the easier to understand by the fact that they are ever before us, as part of our life. The aim of this book is to set before the reader the relation which the individual bears to the government which controls his conduct as a citizen.

Download or read book Government and the Citizen Classic Reprint written by Roscoe Lewis Ashley and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government and the Citizen In preparing this little book for use in schools, the author has attempted to describe those activities of our governments which will be of especial value and interest to youthful citizens. Historical accounts, comments on provisions of the state and national constitutions, and descriptions of the machinery of government have therefore been made as brief as possible. The text is arranged with the expectation that the pupils will recite on topics. If the topics considered in the numbered sections are too long, even when the marginal notes are used to help the pupil in his recitation, each pupil may be asked to recite on one paragraph only, or on a part of a paragraph, using the marginal notes as the headings of these shorter topics. Care should be taken to see that the pupils really discuss these topics, not only presenting in their own language the substance of the text, but giving additional information or suggestions of their own whenever possible. Some of the sections or paragraphs are perhaps too long, too difficult, or too general for treatment in this way.

They should be instructed to yield respect and obedience to the laws, and to hold on with un flinching firmness to the Constitution and the Union of States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Government Aristotle's 'theory of Politics is based on Ethics. He saw clearly the central truth that a State can be no better than the citizens of which it is composed, and aimed at a community of good men. He allowed absolute monarchy only upon condi tion that the monarch was wiser and better than all the rest of the State. He wrote in a time when slavery was part of the social system, and saw in the slaves workers who left their masters free to grow in knowledge and wisdom rather than in wealth. Great wealth be regarded as, like poverty, a great evil strength and happiness were seated in the mean, that enabled a man to maintain body and mind in vigour, and do his duty in his home and in his city. This treatise on Government, in fact, though based upon bygone conditions of citizenship, laid the foundation of all subsequent discussions on the constitution of a State.

Download or read book Government in the United States written by James Wilford Garner and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government in the United States: National, State, and Local My aim in the preparation of this book has been to present in an elementary way the leading facts concerning the organization and activities of national, state, and local government in the United States. I have given rather greater emphasis than is customarily done in textbooks of this character to what may be called the dynamics of government, that is, its actual workings, as contradistinguished from organization. Likewise, I have laid especial stress upon the activities and methods of political parties, party conventions, primaries, the conduct of political campaigns, the regulation of campaign methods, and the like. The increasing importance of citizenship has led me to devote a chapter to that subject. To encourage wider reading among students, I have added to each chapter a brief list of references to books which should be in every high school library. The great value of illustrative material as a means of acquainting students with the spirit and actual methods of government is now recognized. For the convenience of teachers, I have therefore added at the end of each chapter a list of documentary and other illustrative material, most of which can be procured without cost and all of which may be used to advantage in supplementing the descriptive matter in the textbook. To stimulate the spirit of research and to encourage independent thinking among students, I have also added at the end of each chapter a list of search questions bearing upon the various subjects treated in the chapter. I am under obligations to a number of teachers for reading the proof sheets of this book and for giving me the benefit of their advice. Among those to whom I am especially indebted are Mr. Clarence O. Gardner, formerly assistant in political science in the University of Illinois, Mr. W. A. Beyer, of the Illinois State Normal University, Mr. C. H. Elliott, of the Southern Illinois State Normal University, Mr. E. T. Austin, of the Sterling Township (III.)
