Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America, War Citizenship Lessons For our Schools the present crisis brings new opportunities and added responsibilities; Few of our high school students are old enough to fight for Uncle Sam at the front; but if all understand the need, very few indeed will Shirk any patriotic duty, however small, that arises. The first year of the war brought to our schools a new earnestness, a greater loyalty, a more complete consecration than we had ever known. Many of our failures have been due to ignorance, and inexperience, but we are learning. 'that we may learn faster, that we may learn better, that we help more, is our first need and our greatest desire. The primary purpose of these patriotic lessons is not informa tion but action. Since the schools are preeminently that branch of our social organization which works through information to knowledge, and through knowledge to character and potential efficiency, it is necessary that the lessons consider causes briefly and that they inquire a little into the nature of the problems to be considered. It is hoped that they may give some insight into war needs and help to develop a war conscience that is sensitive to personal Obligations. Their appeal is to the individual, to know the right way, and to avoid little blunders, Of which we are usually unconscious, which indirectly help the enemy. They aim to Show also that patriotism is more than a matter of individual compre hension; that it calls for cooperation of small groups such as classes and of large groups such as schools.

This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and America This book discusses the essential factors and issues in the European war and their meaning and import for America. The hour for an im personal account of the war has certainly not yet come, and may not come for a long while. What our time can contribute is the reflection of the great war in the minds of individuals. A story of memories and impressions, of fears and hopes, has to-day more inner truth than any history of the struggle apparently written with an historian 's coolness. This diary, therefore, views the events as they unfold themselves from week to week, from the angle of personal experiences.

Download or read book The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Westel Woodbury Willoughby and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship The purpose of the present work is to present to American youths practical information as to the rights and duties which attach to American citizenship. In the effort to do this in the clearest and most logical form, the stereotyped method of giving a running commentary upon the Constitution has been discarded. Of all political forms, the federal type is the most complex; and it is, therefore, little short of absurd to attempt, as do so many text-books on Civics, to explain to students who are without previous training the constitutional relations of our elaborate system of national, state, and local governments, without first giving to them a knowledge of the nature of political authority, the purposes for which it exists, and the general governmental means through which such purposes are attained. In the present work it is believed that this error has been avoided. The student is first given that information which is essential to an understanding of citizenship and government in general, before he is called upon to study the description of our own complex government in particular. This book is therefore divided into two parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Download or read book Civil War Citizens written by Susannah J. Ural and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its core, the Civil War was a conflict over the meaning of citizenship. Most famously, it became a struggle over whether or not to grant rights to a group that stood outside the pale of civil-society: African Americans. But other groups--namely Jews, Germans, the Irish, and Native Americans--also became part of this struggle to exercise rights stripped from them by legislation, court rulings, and the prejudices that defined the age. Grounded in extensive research by experts in their respective fields, Civil War Citizens is the first volume to collectively analyze the wartime experiences of those who lived outside the dominant white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant citizenry of nineteenth-century America. The essays examine the momentous decisions made by these communities in the face of war, their desire for full citizenship, the complex loyalties that shaped their actions, and the inspiring and heartbreaking results of their choices-- choices that still echo through the United States today. Contributors: Stephen D. Engle, William McKee Evans, David T. Gleeson, Andrea Mehrländer, Joseph P. Reidy, Robert N. Rosen, and Susannah J. Ural.

Download or read book Our United States written by William Backus Guitteau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our United States: A History Throughout this volume, the larger emphasis has been placed upon social and industrial history. Such vital topics as the industrial revolution, the westward movement, the rise and control of large corporations, questions of labor, of the tariff, money, and banking, these have received much more than the usual space. However, in writing the story of our wars, the author has proceeded upon the theory that if the story is worth telling at all, it is worth telling well. Therefore, an endeavor has been made to present a vivid narrative of military cam paigns, rather than a mere colorless summary. Teachers will find the story of the campaigns of the Civil War narrated from the geographical point of view, a method of approach which clears away the difficulties of the story when told merely as a chronology of events. Above all, the author has kept in View the dominant pur pose in present-day teaching of history and government; that is, the preparation of pupils for intelligent, helpful citizenship through the study of our country's history, its ideals, and institutions. History teaching worthy of the name no longer tolerates the mere recital of facts, dates, and names, or the answering of stereotyped questions at the end of the chapter. Rather, our teachers of history will draw from the events of the past their underlying significance; and they will relate the past to the present in such a way as to create in the minds of the pupils high ideals of American citizenship and of political conduct.

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 program of community civics outlined by the Bureau of Education, I have written "What to Do for Uncle Sam," a first book in patriotism and citizenship. At the end of each chapter I have placed questions and suggestions which establish a contact between the classroom and community life. The book lays emphasis on the home and the local community. The child may find many illustrations of the subjects in his own environment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship, History and Civics for Americanization This volume was designed to meet the needs of those aliens who have made the United States their permanent home and desire to apply for citizenship. It contains the vital facts of America's making and gives the principles underlying our democratic form of government. In this, the third edition, not much material has been added, and the few changes made were upon the suggestion of teachers who have had experience in using Citizenship in preparing men for the naturalization examination. The author wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to Mr. Oran T. Moore, Chief Examiner of Naturalization, and to Mr. Raymond Crist, Director of Citizenship, Department of Labor, for suggestions as to the treatment of the subject matter; and to Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Richmond, Va., for a critical perusal of the manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
