Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The School Republic: School City Helps for the Teachers and Pupils, a System of Moral and Civic Training The School City is a tried and successful method of moral and civic training. It is not a "thing" which will "work" itself or which the children, unaided by the teachers, can use to advantage. It must be treated as mathematics or other school work. The School City is true, faithful and kindly citizenship brought to the individual early enough in his life to enable him to incorporate it into his habits and character. It is based on the spirit and plan of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States and the practice, rather than the mere knowledge of the Golden Rule. To preaching and academic teaching of morals and civil government, is added, under instruction, daily and constant practice of the art of right living, including faithful citizenship. Its plan is very elastic, being simple for those who wish to use but a few features. Other features may he added from time to time when wanted. It educates in social relations. It trains not by precept, but by action. It educates by employing the normal and personal activities of the student for education. It develops by imposing responsibility. It systematically imposes responsibility which raises the individuals who accept it to a higher moral and civic plane. It puts into the individual who is thus raised, the desire and ability to lift all his associates to the same level. The School City, in large measure, replaces repression of wrong-doing by expression of that which is right. There are no spies or monitors appointed by the teacher. In some School Cities there are no police, for every citizen is pledged to obey the laws and to insist that all the rest shall do the same. Where there are police, their chief function is to help those who need help and to make things go right; it is not to get people into trouble and make arrests.
