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.

Excerpt from Citizenship and the Schools It would be extremely useful if the teachers of any school system, through reading circles or otherwise, could arrange their subjects harmoniously with this end in view, each making his own subject teach citizenship from its own view-point, so that the work of each teacher would supplement that of every other. In the higher grades where special teachers of separate subjects are employed, those teaching arithmetic, for example, would do well to work out a series of lessons adapted to local economic and social conditions, so that, while suited to the teaching of arithmetical principles, the lessons would also contribute to the work in history, geography, literature and science. The teachers in geography, in the same way, should prepare a series of lessons that would be of service to the classes in history, literature, and mathematics, while the teachers of history, liter ature, and science should so plan their work as not only to bring out the full value of those subjects from the social point of view, but also, by so doing, make each subject supplement the others. Adaptability to human service is the element in each case which will unify them. In the lower grades where all classes are taught by one teacher, such harmonious working of the different subjects can readily enough be planned, provided due care is taken and each subject is considered from the point of view of its relations to social life. If this book can contribute in even a slight degree towards giving our teachers the view-point of social and political betterment as their chief aim in teaching, I shall be content.

Excerpt from Education for Citizenship A study of such training reveals the absence of any specifications of the requirements of citizenship. In the professions, in the crafts, in practically every vocation of civilized mankind, there have been set up specifications of the achievements required before members are recognized as masters of their several vocations - ia many cases before they can perform any of the tasks connected with them. A large part of the organized educational system of the world has been definitely designed to train for the achievement of the ends thus specified. N 0 such specifications have been established for citizenship which in a democratic community is the vocation of all.

Excerpt from The Boys' and Girls' Republic: d104-Book of the Art of Citizenship Republic method of teaching citizenship, with excel lent results and constant delight to the little citizens and themselves. Our first systematic experiment with democracy in a public school was in the form of a municipality and was called the School City. There was much published about it, and teachers in every direction used the method. Since then, we have used many forms of democratic government, such as those of a village, town, county, state and federal government, and we now use the term Republic, as that covers all the various forms. All of the several text-books that have been written to aid in the use of the laboratory or School Republic method of teaching citizenship are out of print, and this book is written to meet the immediate and growing demand for such a text-book. I have aimed to give in it such information as is needed by the oldest students to whom the privilege to use the method may come. At the same time I have endeavored to make it so simple that it may be used as a text-book in all grammar grades, and I trust that primary and kindergarten teachers will find in it the aid they need in steering the ships of state of their little republics.

Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government In introducing an educational reform there is always danger of over-emphasis; there is danger that we may not have a good thing without having too much of it. The 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 to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre 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 course in civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people who are under training for citizenship.
