Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outlines of Responsible Government: Some Constructive Proposals The National Municipal League is an association of publicists, practical administrators, and students of government. A recent president was Charles E. Hughes, now secretary of state. His present successor is Frank L. Polk, who was head of the American delegation to the Peace Conference at Paris. Its purpose is to bring scientific thought to bear upon practical politics. It is now seeking the cooperation of teachers in an effort to bring to the attention of the rising citizen those principles of organization which have passed beyond the stage of hypothesis. Too much stress has heretofore been laid on mere destructive criticism of the failure of public officials. More needs to be laid on a carefully developed vision of forms of government which will guard against failure. Each of the papers offered in this pamphlet was prepared in cooperation with an experienced teacher of civics. Each offers to the pupil a brief and definite statement of a basic line of political thought. The writers have in mind pupils beginning the study of government, and it is hoped that such pupils will be supplied with the pamphlets in order that they may study them thoroughly. The price at which they are offered covers only the actual cost of printing and mailing. The principles presented are fully accepted by nearly every person who has given careful and disinterested attention to the problems of political organization. Therefore to present them is not to engage in propaganda, which is the presentation of one side of the matter on which informed opinion is divided. The League will be glad to correspond with teachers and others who are interested in the development of civic education and to submit samples of other such publications as The Model City Charter, The Model State Constitution, et cetera. Such publications have not been produced with the expectation that they will be adopted bodily, but with the belief that well developed constructive proposals form a more wholesome basis of discussion than unsystematic criticism of failure on the part of persons or groups.
