Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Constructive Ventures in Government: A Manual of Discussion and Study of Woman´s New Part in the Newer Ideas of Citizenship The purposes of this brief manual are clear and simple. To meet the wishes of those women and women´s clubs who have requested co-operation and suggestions in the new and constructive ventures of government is one purpose. If it can be used, even in a small way, to promote the fascinating business of being citizens and the systematic study of present-day social problems, this purpose will have been met. To emphasize a citizenship and government based on the ideals of social service and achievement is another purpose. As wide and comprehensive as are the needs of its people, so inclusive should be the government of a democracy. Our government can set no goal of achievement short of the highest development of the social personality and welfare of all its people. To magnify a training for citizenship based on knowledge and first-hand materials for the study of government is another purpose. While the enactment of this ideal seems new, it is original in the best theory of government. Madison´s statement is good: "A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." To contribute to the growing meaning of community and the powers, obligations, and opportunities of local government is another purpose. Perhaps no greater advance has been made in the after-war period than the increased recognition of the institution of community, whether it be community of organization, of fellowship, of industry, of arts and letters, of learning, of religion, or of citizenship. And certainly one of the consistent points of emphasis in the ever-enlarging services of a larger national government is the increasing importance of good local government. To emphasize the companionable nature of both the study of and participation in government is another purpose.
