Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Municipal Government of the City of New York During the past few years a widespread interest, not only in this country but in Europe, has been awakened in the subject of civic betterment. The means by which it could be attained has been discussed in frequent public meetings, and numberless reformations in municipal governments have been inaugurated; but it is generally conceded by those who have given the matter the most careful consideration that the National Educational Association struck the ultimate solution of the problem when it indorsed the proposition to introduce the study of city government in the public schools. It was forcibly shown at that time that the best guarantee of better civic conditions in the future lies in familiarizing the school boys and girls of to-day with the administration of their own city government. Recognizing this fact, the Board of Education of New York City has greatly, enlarged its course of study in regard to national, state, and local, history and civics. In the requirements of the latest syllabus for the eighth grade of the public schools the governments of the state and of the city of New York are made a part of the course of study. The three departments of the city government and the chief offices of the city are particularized, with the suggestion that increasing emphasis be laid "upon the duties and responsibilities of a citizen as a member of a family, as a pupil, as employer or employed, as a voter, or as officeholder."
