Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Citizen The purpose of this book includes more than merely to give important facts about our Government. We want our youth to know the ethics of good citizenship. We wish them to see how splendid and costly good government is. We wish them to get an idea, not only of the admirable theory of our American Republic, but of the difficulties that we meet in making the theory work. We cannot bear to have our pupils leave school only to find, when they begin to vote and to exercise their rights and duties as citizens, that our theory is one thing and our practice different, and even contradictory to the fine theory. We wish to send our pupils into the actual work of citizenship prepared to work out a better ordered, more successful, and more practical government than the world has ever seen. If men have ever expressed their doubts as to whether our government was a success, we wish the generation of youth now in our schools to disprove this pessimistic talk. We desire them to be not only intelligent citizens, but enthusiastic, active, and helpful members of our great Nation. The book, therefore, takes rather a wide scope. It touches all sorts of neighborly relations and duties. We are coming to see as never before the unity of all human relations. The business of government is not an isolated thing, nor is it a fixed and finished scheme. It is constantly changing and growing, like a live thing. It has a beginning in the family and home; it touches every neighborly relation; it is concerned with the uses, the getting, spending, saving, and holding of money, and the rightful distribution of property.
