A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is the outgrowth of practical suggestions from teachers actually engaged in the work of the class-room, covering a period of fifteen years. I ts aim is: The treatment of its subject in the light of the tendencies and the trend of events in the present day; The emphasis of those points which have an especially vital interest and which are salient in connection with matters of pressing and growing importance; The subordination of material relating to issues long since definitely settled, and whose interest is chiefly historical; and, The concrete presentation of the subject by means of tables, diagrams, and topical analyses. Something, too, may be said of the plan of arrangement. This is such that portions of the subject may be taught as early as the eighth grade. Starting with the family, a knowledge of whose organization, laws, and functions is already fixed in the mind of the youngest child; and with the school, under whose government the child comes at an age so tender that school laws and regulations are apprehended almost before the development of the power of independent thought the transition is easy to an understanding of the local government of town or township (the first formal civil government met with), a knowledge of whose workings is absorbed almost unconsciously. By a demonstration of the relations of, and by analogies between, the administrative functions of family, school, local, county, and State forms of government, the way is prepared for the understanding of government in a larger sense; for an appreciation of the rights and duties of citizenship; and for the study and analysis of the Constitution of the United States and of the form and functions of the system of government based upon that instrument, as, through the great departments of government, that system comes into contact with the individual citizen.
