“A book ‘for students who have at least reached high school age.’ ... The volume is divided into two parts, ‘Studies in American citizenship’ and ‘Collegeville.’ In the first, Land and government, Civil organizations, Banks, Civic and municipal institutions, Justice, etc. are treated. In the second, ‘Collegeville’ represents a township and the various problems of American citizenship are solved in an ideal fashion. The Declaration of independence and the constitution are appended.”—Ann. Am. Acad.
[*] “The purpose is worthy indeed, and some of the methods of presentation show that the author is concrete and understands how to instruct. But he should not have undertaken to write this book before thinking himself out clearly and fully. The sins against good English are numerous, and seriously affect the educational purpose of the book.”
