Book Description

Excerpt from An Outline of American Government: For Use in City and Country Schools in Connection With the Gill School City and Other Organizations for Self-Government The necessity for this Sketch Of American govern ment has arisen from the needs of the School City. The ordinary text-books are too formidable for our purpose. This is especially true in that great majority Of schools, whose teachers have never before studied civics. To put within reach Of teachers as well as pupils, the requisite information concerning American government on which to base the organization Of this self-govern ing institution, it seemed necessary to make a brief outline Of the forms and duties of popular government beginning with the national government and leading down through the state, the county, the town, the school district, the village and the city to the duties and organization Of the School City itself.
