Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the United States The author further desires to call attention to some features of the Chapter on the Constitution. He Wishes to emphasize what he says in his note to the teachers, p. 37. The direction therein given for the thorough study Of the text of the Constitution by means of questions, Should be carefully observed. If the answers are not faithqy garnered and stored away in the memory, the pupil will be without a knowledge of many Of the simplest, yet most essential, elements of the Constitution. For, as we stated in that note, the answers are not found in the author's text, but in the text of the Constitution. Then, too, the pedagogic value Of the questions Should not be overlooked. Many pupils in secondary schools have not had sufficient mental discipline to read the thoughts; they will read Simply the words, especially in subjects that are new, and somewhat abstract like the Constitution. Questions and answers do more to make pupils think than consecutive statement does. Catechizing acts on the mind like the whip on the flesh. It promotes activity. The last chapter will enable the pupil to make comparisons of the Government of the United States with that of the leading nations Of the world. Such a comparative knowledge cannot fail to be of inter est and benefit. The people of the United States Since the Spanish American War have been forced to take note Of all phases Of life as it exists in other countries. Two of those whose governments are treated in this book - Russia and J apan - recently became Objects Of world-wide interest in everything that pertains to them. The other three are the mother-countries of most native-born Americans England, France, and Germany. A study Of their government needs no apology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the United States: National, State, and Local The plan, scope, content, and temper of this book are in large measure the outgrowth of my experience as a teacher. My students, by the drift of their questions and discussions, have moulded my ideas of what a text-book ought to contain. This book is theirs as much as it is mine. That fact may help to explain why some features of American government are dilated upon at considerable length, while others are left as self-evident propositions to the perception of the reader. It explains, moreover, why the same problem is occasionally discussed from different angles, even though this has in volved some degree Of repetition. And if the general tone of the book betrays an optimist, my sufficient answer is that no man can be for many years associated with the American undergraduate and remain anything else.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The A B C of the Government of the United States The citizen of the United States in his 'daily life comes in contact with at least three and sometimes with five distinct divisions of government. If he lives in the South, he will be controlled by the Federal, State and County governments; if he lives in Greater New York, he will be under the Federal, State, County, City and Borough supervision. All of these govern ments exist on the same area but distinct from each other and without communication or conference; each has its own powers, finances and officers. Within its own sphere, each is supreme. Common to all government is a system of checks and balances in order that no individual or group of individuals may gain autocratic power. The extent of each zone or circle of government and its activities are sketched in the chapters which follow.

The earlier chapters may appear too simple, while some teachers may consider the later ones too difficult. I hope, however, that experience will prove that the attempt to lead the pupil along a gentle upward grade has been successful. It has been my experience that a reasonable amount of detail makes a subject more intelligible and realistic to the pupil, and thus enables him to prepare and remember it better. I would urge the importance of requiring the prepara tion of the suggestive questions at the end of the chapter. IT his will lead to independence of thought and judgment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Government: Its Organization and Practical Workings The cause which suggested the publication of this book was my per sonal observation of a lack, 'ou the part of many persons, of a proper knowledge of the Government of the United States. I have observed many times that but few persons, in comparison, are acquainted with the most general provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and the terms of the Declaration of Independence. Hoping that the matter in this book may prove so interesting as to attract the notice of a considerable number, I have incorporated those two immortal documents, with a view of increasing the num ber who will have a better knowledge of them. It may not have been suggested to the ordinary reader that those documents are found printed in but few books. Youths in the schools should read and study them, and also the contents of this book, for there can be no higher study for the rising generation than that of the Government under which they live, and will be soon called upon to maintain and perpetuate by their aid and influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government in the United States: National, State, and Local Merits of Local self-government. - In the United States, local self-government is regarded as one of the chief merits of our political system, and is often declared to be one of the inalienable rights of the people. One great advantage of local self-government is that it brings government near the door of every citizen, and permits the people of each locality, who are most familiar with their own local condi tions and who know best what are their local needs, to regu late their own affairs as they see fit. Also, such a system is well calculated to secure responsibility. So long as the local authorities are chosen by the community from its own inhabitants and are constantly under the eyes of the people, they can be more effectively controlled and made amenable to local public opinion than is possible where they are chosen by authorities distantly removed. An other irnportant advantage of local self-government is that it serves as a training school for the political education of the citizens. Allow them the privilege of choosing their own local officials and of regulating their own local concerns, and their interest in public affairs will be stimulated and their political intelligence increased and broadened. This not only will tend to secure more responsible government (local, state, and national), but will produce a moreoactive type of citizenship.

Download or read book The Civil Government of the United States Revised Classic Reprint written by Asahel Norton Fitch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Government of the United States (Revised) A new educational work Should, in itself, plainly indicate the excuse for its existence. Especially is this true of a text-book upon Civil Government, Since the subject has been already so well treated in the various works now in daily use. Probably no one at this time doubts the propriety of giving the study of Civil Govern ment a prominent place in our schools. Some of the pupils in the school rooms to-day will, in a few years, be occupying public positions of responsibility and power; and while these may be comparatively few in number, yet in this country every citizen has political duties to perform, and should therefore be familiar with the plan and workings of the government which imposes them. Hence it remains only a question as to the manner in which the subject may be most effectively presented for the purposes of instruction. Those who, as teachers, have heard their classes in Civil Government complain that the subject was dry and uninteresting, need only consult their own recollections to know the justice of such complaints. It certainly is not possible to invest the subject with the charms of romance, or give it the thrilling interest of a History of the Crusades or the Conquest of Mexico. But it has seemed possible for a text-book upon Civil Government to be made so readable that it will invite and hold the attention of the pupil, instead of being the passive object of compulsory study. To accomplish this has been the aim in the preparation of this work. The plan is foreshadowed in the frontispiece. Our government, being representative, the popular will controls, through these channels of representation, -the intermediate political subdivisions, and finally asserts itself in the power of the Federal Government. It seems, therefore, that the study of this subject in its natural order Should commence with the township, and follow the principle of representation to its widest application. This method has been pursued. It is impossible, within the limits of a work of this kind, to enter into the details of all the peculiarities arising under the constitutions and laws of the different States, although much attention is given to those branches of the subject. It is presumed, however, in all cases, that the teacher will be familiar with the organization and government of his own State and its subdivisions, and these should be considered in connection with the text, the resemblances noted, and the differences particularly pointed out. The lesson reviews have been made to indicate that method of instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitutional Government in the United States MY object in the following lectures is to examine the government of the United States as a constitutional system as simply and directly as possible, with an eye to practice, not to theory. And yet at the very outset it is necessary to pause upon a theory. The government of the United States cannot be intelligently discussed as a constitutional system until we clearly determine what we mean by a constitutional government; and the answer to that question is in effect a theory of politics.
