Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Everyday Citizenship This book is an attempt to make it clear to young people that the privileges and duties of citizenship are matters of everyday life. Its object is to lead them to see government, not as a remote, incomprehensible, and rather alarming abstraction, but as a controllable agency for the service of all citizens. The organization and structure of government have here been treated with constant reference to their purpose, the carrying on of common enterprises. The young citizen is rightly interested in the work done by public officials, and in his own share in public work, rather than in the machinery itself. An appeal is made to the student´s interest by the use of many illustrations based on everyday experience. The arrangement of topics, beginning with local government and proceeding to the less familiar work and organization of state and nation, is designed to lead him logically from the known to the less known. The great end of our government, the service of all the people, is emphasized at every point. While no attempt is made to mislead the pupil into the false view that no further improvements can be made in our local and general systems, the value of democratic government and the need of loyal cooperation with it are repeatedly demonstrated. The questions at the end of each chapter are intended to lead the student not only to think, but to do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
