Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Illinois and the Nation; How They Are Governed: For the Use of Schools, Teachers' Institutes and for Private Instruction
The State of Illinois cannot afford to expend per annum for educational purposes unless her schools dis seminate the principles of good citizenship. In these days it is not enough that the youth should themselves become honest, industrious, and law-abiding citizens. They must be educated in the principles and practical workings Of our republican form of government. Ignorance in regard to these matters is far too prevalent among our people. Efforts are put forth on every hand to overthrow the structure Of State, and establish in its stead a reign of socialism and anarchy. The people must be taught the truth, or they will believe the wrong.
This book was written in the hope of promoting the study of the governments of Illinois and the Nation, and Of hasten ing the time when the civil government Of our State will be added to the list Of studies for our common schools.
