Excerpt from Training for Citizenship

In order to teach the subject of "Civics," or "Civil Government" in the schools, so as to make it interesting and valuable to the learner, a suitable text-book in the hands of the students is a recognized necessity.

"The American Government" was written primarily as a class-book for colleges, normal schools, and high schools, and the chorus of praise with which it has been received, and its constantly growing use, shows that the Author well understood the needs of all these classes of teachers. The book is divided into three parts, which deal with the Formation or Making of the Government, the National Government, and the State Governments. These, together with the Bibliographies, Appendix of Documents, Indexes, and Questions, constitute a volume of 494 pp. There is not now another class-book on the subject before the public, or a book of the same size of any kind, that contains an equal amount of valuable information regarding the government and political history of the United States. Moreover, this information is so presented as to make the book a model in respect to arrangement and style. The Author has, in fact, accomplished that very difficult thing - written two books in one. How this is will be explained.
