A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is an attempt to make it clear to young people that the privileges and duties of citizenship are matters of everyday life. I ts object is to lead them to see government, not as a remote, incomprehensible, and rather i alarming abstraction, but as a controllable agency for the service of all citizens. The organization and structure of government have here been treated with constant reference to their purpose, the carrying on of common enterprises. The young citizen is rightly interested in the work done by public officials, and in his own share in public work, rather than in the v8 machinery itself. An appeal is made to the students interest b the use of many illustrations based on everyday experience. The arrangement of topics, beginning with local government and proceeding to the less familiar work and organization of state and nation, is designed to lead him logically from the known to the less known. The great end of our government, the service of all the people, is emphasized at every point. While no attempt is made to mislead the pupil into the false view that no further improvements can be made in our local and general systems, the value of democratic government and the need of loyal cooperation with it are repeatedly demonstrated. The questions at the end of each chapter are intended to lead the student not only to think, but to do.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
