From the Forward: American Citizenship Practice aims to give students a thorough knowledge of government in all its aspects, so that they will be able the more intelligently to assume the civic responsibilities and duties, which, in later life, they will be called upon to bear. The social, economic, and political life of the nation are treated in this book as a part of one, indivisible whole. The citizen’s social life is traced up through the home, the school, the church and the community; his contribution in the economic sphere requires an explanation of production, money, capital, labor, and management in business organizations; his political activities are explained through his connection with citizenship etc.
