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 excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizenship IN view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list. Our first plea in justification of this volume is our belief that the books on government now offered to the schools have cer tain fundamental defects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of the American Citizen IN many of the political writings of the day, there is a tendency to lay too much stress on the mechanism of government and of industry, and too little stress on the force by which this mechanism is kept at work. In recent educational movements, also, too much thought is perhaps given to the problem of preparing men and women to take their several places in a social machine, and too little to the development of that power and spirit upon which the perpetuation of our whole social order depends. From my public addresses and magazine articles of the past few years, I have tried to select those which emphasize the more neglected side of these questions, and to arrange them in a continuous series. In a book thus prepared, it is inevitable that there should be some repe tition and some apparent inconsistencies. If the reader is perplexed by any of these things, he will perhaps find the explanation in the date of the different utterances and the special conditions under which they were made public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship Of all political forms, the federal type is the most complex; and it is, therefore, little short of absurd to attempt, as do so many text-books on Civics, to explain to students who are without previous training the con stitutional relations of our elaborate system of national, state, and local governments, without first giving to them a knowledge of the nature of political authority, the purposes for which it exists, and the general gov ernmental means through which such purposes are attained. In the present work it is believed that this error has been avoided. The student is first given that information which is essential to an understanding of citizenship and government in general, before he is called upon to study the description of our own com plex government in particular.

We are coming to see as never before the unity of all human relations. The business of government is not an isolated thing, nor is it a fixed and finished scheme. It is constantly changing and growing, like a live thing. It has a beginning in the family and home; it touches every neighborly relation; it is con cerned with the uses, the getting, spending, saving, and holding of money, and the rightful distribution of property.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New American Government, and Its Work The Theory of Checks and Balances - The great changes just described have all been opposed to the spirit and intentions of the men who drafted our form of government. If there was one fear that animated all members of the Convention of 1787, it was the dread of highly concentrated power. AS Englishmen they had long believed in the doctrine that government should be built up of Checks and Balances, that is, every authority, oﬂicer or legislative body should have some other authority which would check its power and prevent it from becoming absolute or despotic. One form of this doctrine is the theory of Division of Powers. A brilliant French writer, in a book 1 which was read and studied carefully by inﬂuential members of the Convention of 1787, de clared that the division of government into the executive, legisla tive, and judicial departments was a necessary means of preserving the liberty of the citizens against Oppression. His method of rea soning was simple. He asks, in what country is the freedom of the citizen best preserved? At the time of writing England was un doubtedly the freest country in the world. How is this freedom of the citizen secured in England? The author's answer was that the British government at that time separated sharply the executive power of the King from the legislative power of Parliament and the judicial power exercised by judges appointed for life. N 0 other country at that time carried this division of powers as far as did Great Britain. Montesquieu therefore concluded that the division of powers was the most effective means of preserving the liberty of the citizen from government despotism. The Fathers followed this theory faithfully in 1787. The three departments were sepa rated as far as possible, and where their co - operation was necessary, they were set in balance as checks against each other. It will be noticed that the underlying motive of the Fathers was the fear of 7 oppression. Brieﬂy expressed it is: Let us divide governmental power into minute particles, giving a small part to each authority so that none may become supreme or even dangerous.

This question, which is quite distinct from questions concerning his relations to his fellow citi zens, is continually recurring as the population of the country increases, the interests of the people become more complex, and the interference of government with the rights and privileges of the citizen becomes more general. And it is a problem which, from its nature, is hardly capable of a satisfactory solution; for the conditions are in a state of perpetual change. N o sooner are present wants and needs provided for, than new questions arise, demanding attention. This matter of the relation of the governed to the government, is, then, pre-eminently and continually a question of the day.

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 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship of the United States These laws, substantially the statutes enacted more than a hundred years ago when our population was less than four millions, and when it was the policy of our government to invite immigration, were ill adapted to our modern conditions, with a population of eighty mil lions and an inﬂux of foreigners of more than a million annually. Under these laws lax and unsatisfactory methods of naturalization had grown up, opening the way to gross frauds against our citizenship, including perjury, false impersonation, and traffic in false and counterfeit certificates of citizenship. Such certificates were sometimes sold to alien criminals to secure their ad mission to the United States, and frequently to procure protection against their home governments. Cases have actually occurred where aliens have landed on our shores for the first time, having in their possession certificates entitling them to the full rights of American citizenship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Manual of Government in the United States, With Kansas Addendum The design of the present undertaking is to awaken in the minds of the rising generation, the future rulers of our country, an interest in its government. This, we believe, can be best accomplished by giv ing them a thorough knowledge of what that gov ernment is.' We have not written a book; we have merely collected from Bancroft, Blackstone, Kent, Bishop, Story, Bouvier, and others, that information most necessary to acquaint the youth of our country with the advantages which, as American citizens, they derive from the constitution and laws of the United States. We have'endeavored to adapt the work to the capacity of pupils in the grammar schools, and have confined ourselves entirely to the American government. We do not burden their minds or tax their memories with what was, but confine ourselves strictly to what is, and deal with American institutions only.
