Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Ohio It is not the national government, but the State government, acting through its local agencies, to which the American looks for the protection of life and property, for the security of his home and family, and for the education of his children. To understand the workings of State and local government is, therefore, even more important than to know the details of the national government. Since, however, the beginnings of no two States have been the same, the governments of hardly any two are alike, and no general description of the American State, as a mere chapter in American civil government, exactly fits any actual State. It is the purpose of this book, accordingly, to present such an outline of the civic history and of the governmental machinery of the State of Ohio as will enable youth in the high schools, and the higher grades of the grammar and rural schools, to understand both what the government is, and how it came to be, and what the duties and responsibilities are of citizens of Ohio. It is not possible to note in this book all the variations in county, township, and municipal government and powers, due to special legislation. The general type has been carefully given, and the leading exceptions have been indicated. Each teacher should ascertain and call attention to the peculiarities, if any exist, in local organization in his county and township, village, or city. While a knowledge of the form and powers of the government is important, two things should be borne in mind in the teaching of civics: (1) that concrete examples of governmental work drawn from local observation and study are the best aids to an understanding of the use and operations of orderly government, and (2) that the knowledge of forms and powers is barren, except as it leads to a conception of the duty and responsibility of each citizen under those forms for the right exercise of the powers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Ohio: Its History and Administration This book is intended to give in brief compass a comprehensive account of the government of the State of Ohio as it has developed to the present year - the hundredth anniversary of Ohio's admission to Statehood. The plan of treatment conforms in general to that laid down for all the volumes of the series to which this book belongs, but several features have been suggested by the excellent work of Professor W. C. Morey on The Government of New York, which also appears in this series. In accordance with this plan, the growth of the government during the fifteen years of its Territorial life and the hundred years of its life as a State has been treated in Part I (Chapters I and II); the structure of the government has been described in Part II (Chapters III, IV, V, and VI); and the work of the government has been set forth in Part III (Chapters VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII). It will be seen from this arrangement that an effort has been made to lay due stress on the functions of the State, a subject generally slighted despite the fact that these functions are an expression of the will of the people, are performed for the benefit of the people, and constitute the objects for which a modern government exists.

The changes which are suggested by the discontented of to-day' would practically destroy this' safeguard of our liberties. If this little volume shall assist in impressing upon the youth of our State, not only the excellence of the dis tinction between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers, but also the fact that safety lies in keeping them distinct, the object of the writer will be attained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Township Officers' Guide: A Manual of the Law Relating to the Formation and Government of Townships, and the Rights and Duties of Township Officers in the State of Ohio, With Numerous Forms and Annotations of Decisions Again it becomes necessary to revise this work to keep abreast of current legislation. The se-called Australian ballot law made it necessary to rewrite the chapter on elections. The compulsory education laws and the statutes relating to sehool-books have been so extensively amended and expanded as to considerably increase the space occupied by the chapters devoted to schools and kindred subjects. Pains have been taken to include all pertinent matter. The index has been carefully revised, and is believed to be as full as is desirable. The book has met with favor heretofore and is certainly now more worthy of it than at any previous period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Civil Government: Including a Comprehensive View of the Government of the State of Ohio, and an Abstract of the Laws, Showing the Rights, Duties, and Responsibilities of Citizens in the Civil and Domestic Relations; With an Outline of the Government of the United States To the intelligent citizens of the state of Ohio, an apology for the appearance of this work will scarcely seem necessary. Notwithstanding the number and variety of class-books that have sought and gained admittance into our public schools, the study of our civil polity has not yet been encumbered with treatises on this most important science. To secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity, was the leading object of the people of the United States in ordaining and establishing the constitution. That this constitution is fully adequate to the objects of its for. Mation, has been satisfactorily proved by the experience of more than half a century. Whether the blessings of civil and religious freedom, which our system of government is so happily adapted to secure, shall be enjoyed by our posterity, depends, in no small do gree, upon what is done to qualify the rising generation of American youth for the duties and responsibilities which, as freemen, they are shortly to assu e.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonial Dames of America: In the State of Ohio, Pennsylvania These colonial studies represent a distinct and valuable contribution to the material needed for teaching that impor tant period of American History - the period extending from the settlement of the individual colony to its incorporation as a part of the American Republic. Each monograph attempts to set forth in a clear and simple manner the essen tial characteristics of the colony, the peculiar ideas and ideals of its people; and especially to make clear the part the colony played in the conflict with the mother country and its contribution toward the development of a national spirit, and a national government. When the state was born the colony ceased to exist, but the period preceding the framing and adoption of the Constitution is of tremendous impor tance. Without an understanding of the forces that were at work in that period, and of the reasons for these manifesta tions, we fail to clearly interpret the meaning of American history. For that reason the schools are under deep obliga tion to the Colonial Dames in the State of Ohio for the large service which they have undertaken in behalf of education in the preparation and publication of these monographs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Elementary Public Instruction in Europe, Made to the Thirty-Sixth General Assembly of the State of Ohio, December 19, 1837 In 1810, the peasantry, who before had no ownership in the soil which they cultivated, and consequently no independence of charac ter, by a royal decree, became freeholders on the following terms, namely: those who held their lands on perpetual lease, by giving up one-third, and those who held them on limited or life leases, by giving up one-half, to the landlord, became the owners in fee simple of the rest. The military is now so modelled that every citizen between the ages of 18 and 21 is in actual service in the standing army, where he is instructed in all that pertains to military life, and then returns to his peaceful occupations. Thus the army is made up entirely of citizens - and every citizen is a soldier; and there is no such thing as a standing army at the entire devotion of the sovereign, and independent of the people. The prime minister, Hardenberg, in a circular published at the time when these reforms were in progress, declares, that the new system is based upon the principle, that every subject, personally free, be able to raise himself, and develope his powers freely, without let or hindrance from any other; that the public burdens be borne in common and in just proportions that equality before the law, be secured to every subject; that justice be rigidly and punctually ad ministered that merit in whatever rank it may be found, be enabled to rise without obstacle; that the government he carried on with unity, order, and power that, by the education of the people, and the spread of true religion, the general interests, and a national spirit be promoted, as the only secure basis of the national welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyalists of Tennessee in the Late War: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, April 6, 1887 Among the first Abolition societies ever organized in this country were those of Eastern Tennessee. In the year 1816 the Manumission Society of Tennessee held a meet ing at Greenville, and issued an address advocating the abolition of slavery. When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, and South Carolina and other Southern States proceeded in hot haste to sever their connection with the Union, Tennesseewas utterly averse to taking such a step. The secessionists urged that if the slave States would make a common cause, and go out of the Union promptly, the Government would not attempt coercion, and the secession movement would be carried out successfully. It was gravely insisted that the Northern people were too fond of making money to go to war; and if perchance they did make up their minds to fight, one Southern man would prove more than a match for five Yankees. But a majority of the people of Tennessee were willing to at least wait until the new President committed some overt act that might afford something like a pretext for secession.
