About This Book

A civics reader for young children presents a program of early citizenship training that emphasizes habit formation in civic virtues—obedience, cleanliness, orderliness, courtesy, helpfulness, punctuality, truthfulness, care of property, fair play, honesty, respect, courage, self-control, perseverance, thrift, kindness to animals, and safety—and uses stories, poems, songs, games, and dramatization to teach them. It moves from home relations to community and public services, illustrating how local tradespeople and public workers embody cooperative interdependence, and offers lesson questions, suggested activities, and an outline aligned with the child's widening circles of experience to help teachers turn examples into practical civic habits.

Transcriber’s Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors repaired. The table of contents uses the œ ligature in Phœbe Cary’s name. In the text it’s italic and the transcriber assumes that the printer didn’t have an italic ligature. As we’re not constrained by that, all instances of Phœbe Cary’s name now have the ligature.

Page xi, “Dresmaker’s” changed to “Dressmaker’s” (At the Dressmaker’s)

Page 166, the pronunciation key for petroleum uses a dot and macron combination above the two es in the text. As this is not a character available to us, the macron and acute have been substituted: ḗ.
