Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of Civil Government With Suggestions for Civic Training, by Original Work
1. Simple Account, Convenient Summary.
The writer of this elementary book in Civil Government has aimed to produce a simple but full account, with a complete summary of each subject in the recitation outlines.
2. Personal Study of Local Governments, - Original Work.
The Outlines will be of little value without the personal investigation of pupils and teacher together of those forms of local government with which we are in daily contact.
Let the pupils learn the actual workings of the school district, road district, township, incorporated town, borough or city, and county government under which they live. The officers themselves may be questioned, parents will settle difficult points sure to come up. A state manual issued by the legislature, a state register, local histories, a city manual, town records, town reports, are excellent aids. After the questions suggested by outlines for pupils' notebook and others that have arisen are thoroughly talked over in the class, require each pupil by use of the outline in the book, or a better one which has been worked out, to write a concise, accurate account of the subject. Hold a town meeting, visit a court, do whatever seems wise to interest the pupils in the study of local conditions, and to make them good citizens.
