Excerpt from Citizens in Training: A Manual of Christian Citizenship The millions of Christian Endeavorers in the world are in dead earnest - in live earnest, rather - on the great question of Christian citizenship. They are determined that saloon-keepers, the illiterate, the criminal, the corrupt and corrupting ward politician, shall no longer rule our fair cities or dominate our mighty nations. Scores of campaigns for the betterment of city life, through the reform of political abuses or the reform of individual men, have been carried on during the past few years by our ardent Endeavorers. And yet only a beginning has been made. The government of Americas cities is Americas shame. If our great municipalities are to be redeemed within a generation from the foul hands into which they have fallen, the work must be done by the present Christian Endeavor host and their friends. Who will pretend to say that conscience has anything to do with the politics of any of our great cities? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Dawn of a New Patriotism: A Training Course in Citizenship Democracy requires that the people exercise supreme control over the government, Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament being simply agents of the people and at all times accountable to them. Universal suffrage requires that the average citizen be an active, instructed, intelligent ruler of his country. The success of democracy depends upon the education of the people along two principal lines, (1) political knowledge and (2) what is of far more importance, political morality, Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot. The ultimate security for democracy lies in a community conscience, which recognizes that there is a law of right and wrong which is not man made, which is as independent of human wills as is the law of gravitation. When, through lack of political knowledge or political morality, citizens fail to realize their responsibilities, when they lose the inspiration that comes from faith in a "higher law," which neither legislatures nor courts can either justly or safely set aside, then the very foundation of political liberty is swept away and democracy becomes a mockery, while a plutocratic oligarchy grasps the reigns of power and the servants of the people become their masters. It is not the form of government that makes people free. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from Education for Citizenship During the war the Army was compelled to give general education and technical training to more than a million and a quarter of the drafted men before a lighting force of four million could be properly organized. Because of the pressure of the emergency, results had to be secured quickly. Therefore, direct, practical, and intensive methods of instruction were employed and a simple and successful technique of teaching was evolved as experience accumulated. Many thousands of the leading civilian educators contributed to this work both in the United States and in France. By their cooperation with the military authorities there was built up in the Army a combined military and civilian system of training which proved so effective in developing soldiers that the Army has retained it and is adapting it to peace-time conditions. There is nothing new in the educational principles on which this training system is based. They are the principles which have been enunciated by all the prophets of education from Socrates to the present time. The technique of teaching is also merely that which has always been used in effective instruction, though it differs in several important ways from the current practices of schools. Since education is to-day facing a serious emergency, it is of great importance that civilian educators help in conserving the educational methods which were developed in the military establishment during the war. These methods then proved effective in releasing national strength. They are equally effective now, because they are true to the fundamental instincts of America when liberated from the bonds of tradition and habit. This monograph suggests a practical program to achieve this end in the field of education for citizenship.

Excerpt from Training for Citizenship: Memory Gems for Character Building The teacher can enlarge on this by speaking along the line of the ideas suggested under Thoughts for Character Building.

Excerpt from Better Citizenship Through Art Training When I first gathered data and material of various sorts on art subjects it was wholly for my own use in classwork without a thought of publication at the time. Often at lectures or from my reading I jotted down things worth while and in this way collected many valuable notes to which, however, I did not always append the name of the speaker or writer. Hence the frequent quotation marks and seeming inconsistency in crediting source. In freely using the words of others and passing on their thought, I feel that I am enlisting their various services in the great cause of good citizenship. To the many who have thus contributed so much valuable material my grateful acknowledgment is tendered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Course in Citizenship and Patriotism During the four years since the first edition of this book was printed, the world has been moved, shaken, recreated. The war began with indignation against the invasion of an innocent nation. That indignation has ignited the world. In its flame lesser issues have turned to ashes. Precious ideals emerge purified and new-seen, purged of formalism, stripped of convention. Chivalry to the weak, liberty of choice, self-government, membership with one another, self-sacrifice, truth to ones pledges, - we cannot use these phrases any longer without seeing Armenia, Belgium, Poland, Alsace-Lorraine. This Course in Citizenship and Patriotism, published in 1913, was an expression of the belief of a group of teachers and school officers of varied experience that citizenship, chivalry, good will, honor, and firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, not only could but must be taught if our nation was to survive. The new edition has been changed to meet the changes in spiritual experiences of these enlightening years. It is, we believe, in full conformity with the spirit of President Wilson's message to School Officers, a message that has the sanction of a command. "I urge that teachers and other school officers increase materially the time and attention devoted to instruction bearing directly on the problems of community and national life."
