Book Synopsis Community Civics and Rural Life (Classic Reprint) by : Arthur W. Dunn
Download or read book Community Civics and Rural Life (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur W. Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Civics and Rural Life Let youth help shape the world while the vision splendid is still before its eyes. - Jerome K. Jerome. A year ago the author published his Community Civics and Rural Life, in the Introduction to which it was stated that: "Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen." The present book is fundamentally the same book as Community Civics and Rural Life; but, being prepared tor the use of pupils whose experience is urban, it presents, in accordance with the principle stated in the foregoing paragraph, certain essential differences. The controlling ideas around which all the subject matter of both books is organized are: 1. The common purposes in our community life; 2. Our interdependence in attaining these common purposes; 3. The consequent necessity for cooperation; and, 4. Government as an agency by which to secure cooperation in attaining common ends. Team work through government for the achievement of common purposes may be said to be the motif that runs prominently through the entire text. A few of the chapters in the present book stand practically as written for the rural book, with only slight revision: as, for example, the opening chapter, the chapters on "Our National Community" and "A World Community" (VII and VIII), and the concluding chapters on governmental organization (except for the addition of a chapter on "Our City Government").

This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Civics and Rural Life by Arthur William Dunn This book, like the author's earlier one, The Community and the Citizen, is a "community civics" text. Two purposes led to the preparation of this second volume. The first was to produce a text that would meet the needs of pupils and teachers who live outside of the environment of the large city. Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But, if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen. This does not imply that urban conditions should be ignored in the civic education of the rural citizen. On the contrary, one of the things that every citizen should be led to appreciate is the interdependence of country and city in a unified national life. In the present volume emphasis is given to this interdependence. For this reason, and because of the fundamental principles which have controlled the development of the text, it is believed that the book may perform a distinct service even in city schools. The second purpose in undertaking the present book has been to make as obvious as possible the elements which, in the author's judgment, characterize "community civics" and give it vitality. The Community and the Citizen was a pioneer among texts that have sought to vitalize the study of government and citizenship. The term "community civics" became current only at a later time to designate the "new civics" which that book represented. It seems to the author, however, that many teachers and others have seized upon some of the more incidental, even though important, features of the "new civics" without apparently recognizing its really vital characteristics. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Civics Many excellent textbooks are already available for the teaching of civics. Why should another be added to the number? Wherein does this book differ from the rest? What are its outstanding features? The Plan. This book covers a wider range than most texts. It includes not only a survey of governmental framework and functions, but many topics which are ordinarily spoken of as questions in economics, sociology, and international relations. The propriety of including such topics scarcely requires a defensive argument nowadays, for the old lines of demarcation in the social sciences are rapidly breaking down. The problems of our complex modern civilization pay no heed to technical boundaries. They are the joint product of political, social, and economic forces. No one can get a grasp of them if he lets his mind run on a single track. A well-organized course in civics, or in the problems of democracy, should acquaint the student with the great institutions, relations, and principles which dominate the life of the community. To accomplish this end it should carry him as far afield as need be. The Method. Nevertheless, the main theme of this book is American government. No matter what the topic under discussion, the authors have tried to link it up with the drift and purposes of governmental action and policy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Co-Operation in Community Building: A Brief Manual of Community Work and Study Two other considerations are of special importance; the one relat ing to the teaching of civics in the schools, and the other to the mak ing of community surveys. Concerning the first, emphasis should be placed upon the newer sort of civics which teaches not only the ele ments of civil government but also the other very important half relating to citizen support of government. Concerning the making of community surveys emphasis should be placed upon both the need and value of such surveys and also upon the dangers of unwise. Or un scientific surveys. The tendency to survey has become almost a fad and proper judgment and training should be prerequisites of the surveyors. There should be, furthermore, efforts toward uniformity or standardization Of studies; toward scientific methods that use oh jective units of measurement rather than mere impressions and Opin ions; toward comprehensiveness and true perspective; and toward accuracy and precision.

Book Synopsis Civic Education in Elementary Schools As by : Arthur William Dunn
Download or read book Civic Education in Elementary Schools As written by Arthur William Dunn and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Education in Elementary Schools As: Illustrated in Indianapolis Sir: From the inception of the tax-supported public school systems in the United States, one of their most important functions has been to give the instruction and training necessary for the intelligent performance of the duties of citizenship. Indeed, this work of preparation for citizenship has been and is still one of the strongest arguments for making education a function of the State and in justification of the levying of taxes for the support of schools. As the government and industrial and social life become more democratic, the importance of this function of the schools becomes more evident and necessary and the means of giving the necessary instruction and training becomes keener and more general. For several years the public schools of the city of Indianapolis have had a reputation for unusually good work in this direction. Since example adds much to the effectiveness of theory, and may be even more useful in results, I requested Mr. Arthur W. Dunn, the bureau's specialist in civic education, to make a careful study of this work in these schools for the purpose of making a concise report of its more important features. This Mr. Dunn was the better able to do because of the fact that he was at one time connected with the schools of Indianapolis as director of instruction and training in civics. The manuscript transmitted herewith is the result of this study. I recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education. Respectfully submitted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Life and Civic Problems The conception underlying the book is the Biblical propo sitiou that no man liveth to himself alone. All his life he dwells, works, and plays with other men who are associated with him for reasons like his own in various kinds of groups. In short, human life is group life. Man enters the world as a member of the family group; as a child he receives educa tion in a school group; for religious solace and inspiration he usually depends on the church group; in daily occupation he works with others in industrial groups; to secure safety and certain services he is a member of political groups. His dependence on others and the dependence of others on him. 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 Community and the Citizen The important changes in our community life, and especially in our methods of self-government, that have occurred during the seven years since the present volume was first published, have made a revision desirable. In no particular, however, has the original point of view been departed from, nor the method of presenting the subject modified. The soundness of a point of view and of a method of elementary in struction in citizenship, which were novel seven years ago, has been abundantly confirmed by their wide acceptance and by visible results in the life of pupils and of communities. The only justification for the book, in its original or revised form, is in its point of view and method. It will be successful in the hands of the teacher in proportion as they are realized in the work of the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government His volume is intended as a text - book for use in courses in Civil Government in secondary schools. It should (6 follow, or accompany, a high school course in American History. It is an attempt to answer the demand for that if Which is needful and important in the new civics some times called community civics, and at the same time to hold fast to that Which is good in the old. S, In introducing an educational reform there is always Q danger of over - emphasis; there is danger that we may not ?%have a good thing Without having too much of it. The '9 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 3 to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the g actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are g supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre ss 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 coursein civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people Who are under training for citizenship.

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 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.

Download or read book Canadian Civics (Classic Reprint) written by Robert Smith Jenkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Civics It seems now hardly necessary to plead the cause of civics in the schools. On the other hand, there is needed a fuller discussion of the methods of teaching the subject. It is generally agreed that no text book is required during the early years of the public school course. The child will gain an idea of what government is by examples drawn from the home and the school. As he grows older he can be taught to observe some of the work of government as performed by the municipality. He may see what roads are being made or improved, what side-walks are being put down, and what protects the community 110m the danger of fire. But beyond the municipal field he cannot very well proceed by direct observation. New principles appear. The whole area of government becomes extra ordinarily complex. The discipline of the party system, the solidarity of the cabinet, the parallel activities of parliament and legislature, and the glamour of the monarchical tradition have to be studied definitely like new processes in arithmetic or new chapters in history. It will be seen that the chief aim of this book is to help the pupil at this stage of his progress. The larger part of the text is devoted to an. Explanation of the federal system and its relation to the provincial system. Topics XII - XIV are added for the purpose of reference and completeness, and for the use of senior pupils and study.
