What to Do for Uncle Sam (Classic Reprint): A First Book of Citizenship

Excerpt from What to Do for Uncle Sam: A First Book of Citizenship
The United States Bureau of Education lays emphasis upon the part of the schools in training for citizenship. It urges a new teaching of the subject, beginning with the home, going on to the school, and from there into community relations. The Government asks, also, that work in civics be begun in the elementary schools. The work should embody less of the details of governmental agencies, but focus instead upon the child's own community obligations and activities.
Following this thought, and taking up the program of community civics outlined by the Bureau of Education, I have written "What to Do for Uncle Sam," a first book in patriotism and citizenship. At the end of each chapter I have placed questions and suggestions which establish a contact between the classroom and community life.
The book lays emphasis on the home and the local community. The child may find many illustrations of the subjects in his own environment.
