Book excerpt: Excerpt from Course of Study in Civics as Adopted by the Board of Education, May 27, 1914: With a Syllabus as Adopted by the Board of Superintendents, June 4, 1914 In teaching civics the aim should be to train for citizenship. Good citizenship depends not so much on a knowledge of the governmental forms of a community as upon the practice of civic virtue in that com munity. As a pupil lives in the community and IS a part of it, he should know what community life means. He should have the desire to be an honest, industrious and useful member of the community, because he has been taught to feel that his happiness and the welfare of the com munity depend on his efforts to live right. As a school is but a smaller community, it affords the teacher an excellent opportunity to illustrate concretely the principles underlying community life. While a pupil should be taught that a citizen's rights are the most important things he can possess, that the government exists for the protection of his rights, and that the. Form of government depends upon the recognition and protection of His: rights, yet he should be constantly and persistently reminded that every right has a corresponding duty. The rights of some citizens are the duties of other citizens. Rights and duties go hand in hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
