Download or read book Government and the Citizen (Classic Reprint) written by Roscoe Lewis Ashley and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government and the Citizen In preparing this little book for use in schools, the author has attempted to describe those activities of our governments which will be of especial value and interest to youthful citizens. Historical accounts, comments on provisions of the state and national constitutions, and descriptions of the machinery of government have therefore been made as brief as possible. The text is arranged with the expectation that the pupils will recite on topics. If the topics considered in the numbered sections are too long, even when the marginal notes are used to help the pupil in his recitation, each pupil may be asked to recite on one paragraph only, or on a part of a paragraph, using the marginal notes as the headings of these shorter topics. Care should be taken to see that the pupils really discuss these topics, not only presenting in their own language the substance of the text, but giving additional information or suggestions of their own whenever possible. Some of the sections or paragraphs are perhaps too long, too difficult, or too general for treatment in this way.

Download or read book The Citizen written by Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen: A Study of the Individual and the Government It is commonly supposed by those who have to do with young people that they cannot be brought to understand large matters relating to the management of public affairs, which are cared for by our government in its various forms of town, county, state, and national authorities. My own belief, based on many years' experience as a teacher, leads me to the conviction that this view is quite mistaken: that so far from being unfitted to deal with such questions, young men and women are naturally interested in knowing those things which pertain to their duties in the wide field of life upon which they are entering. Therefore it is with some confidence that I have determined to set forth in the following pages the leading facts concerning the relations of the citizens of this country - men and women alike - to the systems of the society and the government in which we all have to play our part. Large as are the questions which have to be dealt with, they are made the easier to understand by the fact that they are ever before us, as part of our life. The aim of this book is to set before the reader the relation which the individual bears to the government which controls his conduct as a citizen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen's Part in Government A large part Of mankind still regard govern ment as something quite apart from the main business Of life - something which is undoubtedly necessary to enable them to attend to their busi ness, but only incidental or accessory to it. They plough and sow and harvest; they manufacture and buy and sell; they practise the professions and the arts; they write and preach; they work and they play, under a subconscious impression that government is something outside all this real busi ness - a function to be performed by some one else with whom they have little or no concern, as the janitor of an apartment house, whom somebody or other has hired to keep out thieves and keep the furnace running. In reality, government is an essential part in every act of all this wide range Of human activity. If it is bad, ruin comes.

Download or read book The Citizen and the Republic written by James Albert Woodburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizens and Their Government This book owes its immediate origin to a series of conferences or private lectures given to the group of public spirited women in Chicago whose names appear in the dedication. The material has, however, been worked over With a view to its presentation to the general public. In the rewriting, I have freely drawn upon my classroom lectures at Northwestern Univer sity. The aim is to present in brief compass a general view of American government. The needs and inter ests of the average American citizen and voter. Have been kept in mind. While the work cannot go into complete detail, nevertheless, it attempts to give a broad survey of the vital factors in our national, state, city, and town government.

Book Synopsis Government in the United States by : James Wilford Garner
Download or read book Government in the United States written by James Wilford Garner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government in the United States: National, State, and Local Merits of Local self-government. - In the United States, local self-government is regarded as one of the chief merits of our political system, and is often declared to be one of the inalienable rights of the people. One great advantage of local self-government is that it brings government near the door of every citizen, and permits the people of each locality, who are most familiar with their own local condi tions and who know best what are their local needs, to regu late their own affairs as they see fit. Also, such a system is well calculated to secure responsibility. So long as the local authorities are chosen by the community from its own inhabitants and are constantly under the eyes of the people, they can be more effectively controlled and made amenable to local public opinion than is possible where they are chosen by authorities distantly removed. An other irnportant advantage of local self-government is that it serves as a training school for the political education of the citizens. Allow them the privilege of choosing their own local officials and of regulating their own local concerns, and their interest in public affairs will be stimulated and their political intelligence increased and broadened. This not only will tend to secure more responsible government (local, state, and national), but will produce a moreoactive type of citizenship.

Download or read book The Government of the New England States (Classic Reprint) written by Wilson Ryder Butler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the New England States All agree that in a republic like ours there is urgent need that every citizen know something of the government under which he lives, something of its functions, of its history, of the principles underlying it, and, particularly, of his personal relation to it. There is also universal agreement that this study of government and this training for citizenship should form one of the important branches of study in our elementary schools. This is evidenced by the trend of the discussions heard at educational meetings and among citizens generally throughout the country, by the appointment of committees by educational societies to consider courses and methods in the subject, by the organization of civic leagues for the express purpose of promoting civic instruction in our schools, and by the appearance of many elementary text-books designed for use in the grammar schools. Most of these text-books have attempted to cover the United States, and, therefore, in the treatment of all except the federal government, have been obliged to limit themselves to generalities. Those which have dealt with the government of a single State have proved unsatisfactory because of their tendency to leave the pupil with a narrow and imperfect view of his own local and State government.

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 Alden's Citizen's Manual: A d104-Book on Government, for Common Schools The publishers of the Science of Government in connoo tion with American Institutions, - a work designed for Co] leges and High Schools, - have received abundant assurances, from various parts of the country, that the general introduction of the study of the science of government into common schools would follow the appearance of a text-book adapted to the wants and circumstances of common school teachers. The author was thus led to consult a number of intelligent and experienced teachers. Having possessed himself -of their views, which met his full approbation, he prepared a work, and submitted it to an able and successful teacher, who care fully revised every part of it, and made many valuable sug gestions. The work was then wholly te-written, and is now given to the public with the hope that it will meet the appro bation of common school teachers, and aid them in doing a work which no other class of men can do that of preparing the masses for intelligently exercising their rights as citizens of the Republic.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Municipal Government in the United States In spite of the importance and interest of international and national questions of policy and in spite of the rapidly widening sphere of federal legislation and administration the life of an American citizen is affected more often by the agencies of local government than by those of the national government. Under the protection of the Federal Constitution the life and property of the citizen are governed and protected by state, not federal, laws. In his political capacity the citizen takes part in both the federal and the local government in accordance with state regulations. Acting under the state laws are the particular political units in which the citizen may reside - the county, city, or town. To the authorities of these the citizen most fre quently looks for governmental support and regulation. Yet these local bodies are distinctly subordinate to and created by the authority of the state and are supervised and regulated by it. It is the purpose of this book to discuss the organization, the distribution of powers and functions, and the operation of these agencies of local government. Other books have dealt with state government and state administration or with munici pal government and municipal administration, but this book covers both state and municipal government, treating the two as a single manifestation of local government. With this in mind the book has been divided into five parts. In Part I the federal system and the state constitutions as the fundamental basis of local government are discussed. Part II deals with the political system - the electorate in theory and in action, in primaries, in election campaigns, and in its direct action in the use of the initiative, referendum, and recall. Part III deals with state government - the different organs and the functions which these organs perform. State administration, which is rapidly being extended both directly and through the supervisory power of the state, is discussed in its various manifestations.
