Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lessons in Civics for the Three Primary Grades of City Schools Children´s experience the basis of instruction. Instruction in civics must be based on the children´s experiences and should result not only in giving clearer and fuller information, but also in creating the mental attitudes and habitual acts that characterize good citizenship at the given age. It is to small purpose, for instance, that a child learns of the organization and work of the Street Cleaning Department if at the same time he continues to be careless about throwing banana skins around. Materials that have place in an elementary civics course. In planning a course in civics for young children there is a temptation to overload it with facts which will be forgotten before they are ever used. We have repeatedly to remind ourselves that any material which has a legitimate place in the course holds that place because it is related to some "civic situation" in which a child is normally to be found, and his reaction to which is capable of being modified by a "civics lesson." Of this sort of material there is no lack. The children of our city schools have many experiences of civic significance upon which instruction can be based; and there are many opportunities for instruction to be immediately applied, greatly to the advantage of themselves, of the city, and of the nation. For example, all city children, even the youngest in school, have had their interest and curiosity aroused by the sight of a burning building and of a fire engine and crew dashing to the rescue. Here is an experience which can be so interpreted and enlarged upon that children still too young for the study of municipal organization may be led to refrain from playing with fire and to regard firemen as heroes to be obeyed and to be emulated in coolness and courage. If these effects are produced upon the habits of thought and action of a large number of small children, who can doubt that the result will be not only a considerable safe-guard to these individual children, but also an actual decrease in fire loss, and, in the long run, an appreciable gain to the resources of the nation in property and lives?
