Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early 20th-century social experiment of the George Junior Republic, a self-governing community for youth located in upstate New York. Founded by "Daddy" George, the Republic aimed to instill a sense of responsibility and citizenship in young people by allowing them to manage their own affairs, complete with a functioning government, courts, and even a jail. The author, through detailed observations and personal anecdotes, illustrates the Republic's unique blend of practical life skills training, self-governance, and social reform. The book explores how the community's citizens, ranging from those seeking a more structured environment to those who had fallen into delinquency, were able to find purpose and develop into responsible adults. Through the Republic's unique approach, the author argues that true citizenship can be nurtured by providing young people with a real-world platform to learn and grow, offering valuable insights into the possibilities of self-governance and the role of community in shaping the lives of young people.
