Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Community Civics A nation is safe for democracy only when it is composed of citizens who think seriously intelligently, and who act on their convictions. The boys and girls of our schools constitute the source from which a thinking citizenship of this kind must be developed. Every one is in some degree his brother´s keeper. The belief that these three principles are true and fundamental is responsible for Community Civics. It is not a compilation of facts. Some facts are vital, and most of the specific statements of the book are worth remembering, but the great emphasis has been placed on making the pupil think for himself. As an aid in this direction, questions and suggestions for thought and investigation are placed in the body of the text where the pupil cannot help seeing them, as well as at the end of each chapter. There are also special topics requiring original investigation, which can profitably be assigned to individual members of a class; but neither the questions nor the topics are exhaustive, nor does each class need to take up every one. The method of approach and the order of treatment follow in the main the recommendations of recent Committees on Social Studies, without adhering slavishly to any one outline. The student is first introduced to his own community and its immediate problems. Then he takes up the framework of government, without a knowledge of which the larger problems cannot be properly comprehended. Finally these broader questions, sometimes termed the "problems of democracy," are laid before him. In studying government, the federal government is taken up first.
