Excerpt from The Education of the American Citizen IN many of the political writings of the day, there is a tendency to lay too much stress on the mechanism of government and of industry, and too little stress on the force by which this mechanism is kept at work. In recent educational movements, also, too much thought is perhaps given to the problem of preparing men and women to take their several places in a social machine, and too little to the development of that power and spirit upon which the perpetuation of our whole social order depends. From my public addresses and magazine articles of the past few years, I have tried to select those which emphasize the more neglected side of these questions, and to arrange them in a continuous series. In a book thus prepared, it is inevitable that there should be some repe tition and some apparent inconsistencies. If the reader is perplexed by any of these things, he will perhaps find the explanation in the date of the different utterances and the special conditions under which they were made public.

Excerpt from The Religious Education of an American Citizen The purpose of this series of loosely con nected chapters is to call attention to some of the influences which direct, and some of the qualities which mark, the religious education of an American citizen. The normal life of an American proceeds from childhood to youth and from youth to manhood, through the shift ing environments of home, school, college, busi ness, citizenship and Church; and at each step he is met by conditions and demands which may either promote or obstruct his religious educa tion. What, then, are the circumstances which are likely to be most favorable for a healthy minded and progressive religious experience? What can be done by parents, teachers, em ployers, statesmen, or pastors, to reinforce American citizenship with a rational religious life? What are the special obstacles which American civilization offers to religious prog ress? What are the traits of the American character on which teachers of religion may most confidently depend?

Excerpt from American Citizenship In view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list. Our first plea in justification of this volume is our belief that the books on government now offered to the schools have certain fundamental defects. An examination of the extensive collection of texts in the Library of Congress, which embraces all of the most recent books on civics, shows that they fall into two groups: those which are formal and legal, and those which are "sociological," in character. The authors of the first group err, in our opinion, in treating government as a multitude of rules already well settled which, when committed to memory, are calculated to make good and wise citizens. The authors of the second group, it seems to us, in their revolt against the mechanistic theory of government, err just as much in minimizing those concrete political and administrative processes by which social work of a public character is accomplished and in emphasizing in civics private activities which are remote from official operations. For example, the principle of the separation of governmental powers, so scorned by the sociological school, is in fact more important, as we try to show, than half of the beneficent enterprises undertaken in the name of modern collectivism. And both groups of books are equally in error in so far as they seem to regard civic life as static or settled rather than dynamic and progressive.

Excerpt from The American Citizen The book, therefore, takes rather a wide scope. It touches all sorts of neighborly relations and duties. We are coming to see as never before the unity of all human relations. The business of government is not an isolated thing, nor is it a fixed and finished scheme. It is constantly changing and growing, like a live thing. It has a beginning in the family and home; it touches every neighborly relation; it is con cerned with the uses, the getting, spending, saving, and holding of money, and the rightful distribution of property.

Excerpt from An American Citizenship Course in United States History: Course With Type Studies Beginning with Grade IV, our Committee was unanimous in making the Type Studies an outstand ing feature of this report. To explain why we have devoted so much time and space to these studies calls for a brief consideration of the teaching and learning processes which are involved in the use of history as a subject in the school curriculum.

Excerpt from Course in American Citizenship in the Grades: For the Public Schools of Iowa The Thirty-Eighth General Assembly passed an act providing for the teaching of American Citizenship in the public and private schools located in the State of Iowa, and providing for an outline for such subjects. In accordance with this act a brief outline was prepared soon after the law was enacted and mailed to all the schools as a guide for the work which was to be done. Then plans were made and a committee was appointed to hold conferences and later select a smaller committee to write the course of study. This outline is the result of the work of that committee and has been officially approved by the Department of Public Instruction and is now the official outline for the course in American Citizenship for the public and private schools in the State of Iowa. It is expected that every County Superintendent in the State will devote some time in the next teachers' institutes to giving the teachers instruction upon this course and explaining the methods by which the best results may be secured. I sincerely hope that this outline may be of much help to the pupils, teachers, parents, and boards of education and that it may result in making better qualified citizens in the State of Iowa.

Excerpt from Making Americans: Responsive Readings for Teaching Citizenship I am very glad to see the selections you have made from my father's speeches and writings. They seem to me to typify certain problems that are before us at this time and to which we must give our earnest consideration. The outline of the work that you have shown me convinces me that it will fill a real niche in the needs of this country. Believe me.
