Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Textbook of Civics for the State of Washington This book has been written in answer to a popular demand for a textbook that will give the important facts in the government of the state of Washington and also of the United States. Government is becoming more and more complex as the years go by, and therefore it is of the greatest importance that definite instruction be given in civics in all our schools. It does not follow that a knowledge of the facts of civics will in itself make good citizens. It is the opinion of the author, however, that the boys and girls of our land should be taught the fundamental principles upon which the government of both the state and the nation is based. Good government is founded on good citizenship. A few of our people are called upon to make laws. Others are chosen to enforce the laws. Still others are given the task of interpreting the laws. But all the people should be taught to obey the laws. The best preparation that can be made by the pupils in our public schools to fit them for their duties and responsibilities of citizenship will be found to be thorough instruction in civics. Knowledge of this kind will not in itself make good citizens, but it will help. The principal reason given for the support of the common schools at public expense is that it is the duty of the state to train its youth to be good citizens. It is the hope of the author that this book may be an instrument in the hands of the teachers of the state of Washington in helping them to do well their great work of training citizens.
