Excerpt from Citizenship and the Schools It would be extremely useful if the teachers of any school system, through reading circles or otherwise, could arrange their subjects harmoniously with this end in View, each making his own subject teach citizenship from its own view-point, so that the work of each teacher would supplement that of every other. In the higher grades where special teachers of separate subjects are employed, those teaching arithmetic, for example, would do well to work out a series of lessons adapted to local economic and social conditions, so that, while suited to the teaching of arithmetical principles, the lessons would also contribute to the work in history, geography, literature and science. The teachers in geography, in the same way, should prepare a series of lessons that would be of service to the classes in history, literature, and mathematics, while the teachers of history, liter ature, and science should so plan their work as not only to bring out the full value of those subjects from the social point of View, but also, by so doing, make each subject supplement the others. Adaptability to human service is the element in each case which will unify them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
