Excerpt from Principles of Civil Government Exemplified in the Government of the State of New York When a pupil thoroughly grasps a principle, he will look for, and if need be, will find, the facts to fit it; or if these be presented to him, he will seize upon them as the natural or necessary complement of the principle which has already found lodgment in his mind. The two must go together; but herein precedence is given to principles which the facts exemplify. This treatment of the subject calls for less remembering, but for more thinking. If the thinking be well done, the remembering will take care of itself. Memory never fails with those who think. But thinking is naught with those who can do nothing but remember. The one thing needful in our schools is that the pupils be got out of the rut of merely remembering, and be induced to try their powers in the broad field of thought. To effect this, we must have teachers who can do something besides listen. They must know how to think and how to teach others to think. They must know - or must be able to learn - something outside of the text-book. No textbook can contain all that should be taught of a given subject. The author believes that the efforts which have been made within the last few years by public school authorities, and what is more important, by the teachers themselves, to raise the professional standard of teaching, have been fruitful in good results.

Excerpt from Civil Government: As Developed in the States and in the United States The thanks of the author are due and are hereby tendered to the several critical scholars who kindly read the manuscript, and who gave him the benefit of their judicious criticisms. The author is under many obligations to Dr. John W. Perrin, professor of history in Adelbert College, of the Western Reserve University, Cleveland, for much valuable aid; and his careful reading of the manuscript has greatly increased the accuracy of the text. Where students have had a course in English history, chapters II and III may be omitted, and in this way the book can be covered in a briefer time without losing sight of the ultimate aim. For the sake of clearness, several principles and facts are repeated, even at the risk of making the book prosaic. It is believed that actual teachers will consider this an advantage. The century just closed has been remarkable in many ways, but in none more than in the impetus it has given to the develop ment of the idea of the sovereignty of man. The United States, more than any other nation, exemplifies in its government this great principle. The local government of our country is its natural nursery: therefore our schools should constantly magnify these local units and impress the coming citizens with an earnest effort to maintain them as organized communities.

Excerpt from The Citizen's Manual of Government and Law: Comprising the Elementary Principles of Civil Government; A Practical View of the State Governments, and of the Government of the United States To preserve and transmit the blessings of civil and relig ions freedom, is the declared object of the people of the United States, in establishing their present form of govern ment. The question, Will our liberties endure? Has ever been one of deep solicitude to every true American patriot a question to which difi'erent answers have been formed by different minds. It is generally conceded, that no other system of govern ment ever devised, is so well adapted to secure the objects for which all just governments are instituted, as our own. Its excellence alone, however, can not insure its duration. The grand element of its strength, is the public virtue and intelligence. Hence, the only well-founded hope of perma nent political prosperity, lies in a general and an eficient system of education.

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 textbook 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 Government 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 maybe 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. 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.
