Synopsis

""Community Civics and Rural Life"" is a book written by Arthur W. Dunn that explores the relationship between rural communities and civic life. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by rural communities in terms of economic development, social welfare, and political participation. It also discusses the role of education, government, and community organizations in promoting civic engagement and improving the quality of life in rural areas. The book covers a wide range of topics, including agriculture, rural health care, transportation, and environmental issues. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges and opportunities of rural communities and the importance of civic engagement in promoting their well-being.The story of how individuals acquired the right to own land is an interesting one, but too long to be told here. The right has long been recognized and protected by government. If your father owns a piece of land he doubtless has a DEED for it, containing an accurate description of the land and giving him title to ownership. In each county there is an office of government where all deeds are recorded--the office of the recorder or register of deeds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book, like the authors earlier one, The Community and the Citizen, is a community civics text. Two purposes led to the preparation of this second volume. The first was to produce a text that would meet the needs of pupils and teachers who live outside of the environment of the large city. Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But, if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaming. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen. This does not imply that urban conditions should be ignored in the civic education of the rural citizen. On the contrary, one of the things that every citizen should be led to appreciate is the interdependence of country and city in a unified national life. In the present volume emphasis is given to this interdependence. For this reason, and because of the fundamental principles which have controlled the development of the text, it is believed that the book may perform a distinct service even in city schools. The second purpose in undertaking the present book has been to make as obvious as possible the elements which, in the authors judgment, characterize community civics and give it vitality. The Community and the Citizen was a pioneer among texts that have sought to vitalize the study of government and citizenship.
