The members of the two lower classes in Yale College were asked which would be their preference: to win a Y in athletics, or the rank in scholarship that assured membership in the (i) B K Society. A large majority preferred eminence in Scholarship to eminence in athletics. They were ready to take education in arts and letters at its real value. They felt that to gain that was what had brought them here. But College, at best, can give us but a small part of an education. It is only the preface of the book, which she translates for us. Her aim is to let us know why it was written, and for what. What it is comes later. In Emerson's wol'ds' The things taught in colleges and schools are not an educa tion, but the means of education. The world is our best, as it is our earliest, teacher, a hard mistress, but generally a just one. She gives and takes.

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.

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the Constitution of the Uni ted States, and the functions of state and municipal government, fails to benefit the child withdrawn from school before he enters the upper grades, and utterly fails to Show to children their personal obligations as little citizens.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.

Download or read book Civics and Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Anna E. Arnold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics and Citizenship The text-book in civil government that concerns itself exclusively with an analysis of the machinery and powers of government leaves in the pupils' minds a gap between the subj ect-matter studied and the conditions surrounding them that they seldom bridge. They see little connection between civil government and the problems that they hear discussed on every side.' A knowledge of the fundamental principles of government is necessary, but it is necessary because it must serve as a basis for a knowledge of the workings of government. The real purpose of the study of civics is that of training for citizenship. The pupils should be led to see the relation between government and the everyday affairs of life, and the relations of individuals to each other; the relation of health, education, and industry to the public welfare; the relation of honesty to civic duties; the importance of obedience to law and authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship in School and Out: The First Six Years of School Life So far as my part in this book is concerned, it is mainly the outgrowth of some years of experience in supervising the work in history, civics, and English in the Training School at Hyannis, Massachusetts, which has for its motto, "A live child in a live school." The philosophy of education which finds brief expression in this motto has provided the congenial atmosphere in which these plans of work have unfolded, and I desire to acknowledge with gratitude my indebtedness to Mr. W. A. Baldwin, Principal of the State Normal School at Hyannis, for stimulating suggestion and illuminating aid received all along the way. My hearty thanks are due also to all my fellow teachers in both Normal School and Training School for most obliging and able cooperation. Among the favors received at the hands of my colleagues I cannot omit to mention with special gratitude the valuable suggestions received in the course of my writing from Miss Julia Anna Haynes and Miss Annie S. Crowell, each of whom has read parts of the manuscript and in various other ways has given the help of a friend. To Mr. Clarence D. Kingsley, Supervisor of High Schools, Massachusetts Board of Education, I am indebted for the encouragement which first led me to this attempt to pass on my plans for training in citizenship to a larger number of teachers than those of our own school. Finally, to my collaborator in this attempt I make grateful acknowledgment of counsel so wise and sympathetic as to be invaluable to me personally and of criticism so discriminating and constructive as to be essential to whatever success the attempt may attain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Citizenship A Book must be judged by its purpose and by the way in which it meets that purpose. The first test may be stated quite distinctly by the author; the second test must be applied by the reader. In order that this volume may not be judged by ends which it does not seek to reach, it may be well to state the intent. The purpose is to suggest certain natural and human starting points for the teaching of patriotism and citizenship. It is not claimed that the book is an exhaustive treatise, even of its simple kind. It suggests directions rather than goals. It does not offer a storehouse of information, nor does it seek to fill minds with lists and classifications. It rather aims to guide an instinct and promote a sentiment. From this it is plain that the material cannot be merely historical. Perhaps no study has been more closely related to citizenship than has history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Horace Mann was the great apostle of our free or common school system, but it remained for Mr. Gill to use the public school as a preparatory mode of citizenship and a practice-ground of social morals.

Download or read book Citizenship under Fire written by Sigal R. Ben-Porath and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship under Fire examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war, and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes. Perhaps the most worrisome one, Ben-Porath contends, is a growing emphasis in schools and elsewhere on social conformity, on tendentious teaching of history, and on drawing stark distinctions between them and us. As she writes, "The varying characteristics of citizenship in times of war and peace add up to a distinction between belligerent citizenship, which is typical of democracies in wartime, and the liberal democratic citizenship that is characteristic of more peaceful democracies." Ben-Porath examines how various theories of education--principally peace education, feminist education, and multicultural education--speak to the distinctive challenges of wartime. She argues that none of these theories are satisfactory on their own theoretical terms or would translate easily into practice. In the final chapter, she lays out her own alternative theory--"expansive education"--which she believes holds out more promise of widening the circles of participation in schools, extending the scope of permissible debate, and diversifying the questions asked about the opinions voiced.
