Présentation de l'éditeur
In die preparation of diis book the audior makes no extensive claim to originality. The history and government of Iowa have been dioroughly investigated and quite thoroughly written up during the past ten years. Precision of statement and logic in arrangement, radier than the display of new material, has been the aim. The greatest problem in writing a text-book on local government is die attractive presentation of the fundamental facts without including too much that is mutable. With each session of the General Assembly there is a change in many of the small details of state government. Some of these changes, although small, are important, others have little effect and are of little value to the student of Iowa civics. It has been the authors aim to nphasize those features of local and state government which are most permanent and essential. To the well-trained, energetic teacher no text-book is sufficient in itself. Such teacher will look about for additional material out of which to create a greater interest. Biography has not been entirely omitted in the preparation of this text, but in the estimate of the author, biography plays such an important part in the teaching of either history or government that the conscientious teacher will insist upon much outside work in that line from the student. Government is decidedly a study of men in action. Therefore the teacher of government realizes die value of the study of biography as a means of enriching the subject and of creating a lively interest in class work. Too much emphasis can scarcely be laid upon the use of material illustrations. Local officers of the town and township ought to be pointed out.
