Excerpt from The Philosophy of Citizenship an Introduction to Civics for AdultsThe illustrious Turgot once said that the study of the duty of citizenship ought to be the foundation of all other studies and we might say that Civics is the connecting link between other studies, binding them also to life and reality. It is essentially a subject of connections it links all times and periods as part of the long chain of achievement beaten out by civilisation, it connects all subjects as part of the life-story of mankind, and reveals them as aspects of its manifold activity, it carries everyday life into the school and study, and it joins the needs of to-day to the results of yesterday and the hopes of to-morrow. As the electric spark causes the junction of oxygen and hydrogen to form cleansing water, so the spirit of Civics joins the study and the street to form an element of purification for the city and country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
