Manual Of Citizenship Training

"CITIZENSHIP 1928" is a review of the War Department Technical Manual 2000-25, Citizenship. This manual was originally published on 30 November 1928, as authorized by the US Government War Department. It was printed in April of 1929 by the US Government Printing Office. Democratic members of Congress believed it to contain controversial material, which led to the manual being recalled and withdrawn from use within four years of publication. The main discussion in "CITIZENSHIP 1928" focuses on the definition of Democracy as it changes during the 19th century. Consideration of the Congressional Record and newspaper excerpts help explain why the War Department removed the manual from civilian and serviceman training classes in 1932. A complete copy of the original manual, reformatted for easier reading, is included in the book.

Excerpt from Citizens in Training: A Manual of Christian Citizenship The millions of Christian Endeavorers in the world are in dead earnest - in live earnest, rather - on the great question of Christian citizenship. They are determined that saloon-keepers, the illiterate, the criminal, the corrupt and corrupting ward politician, shall no longer rule our fair cities or dominate our mighty nations. Scores of campaigns for the betterment of city life, through the reform of political abuses or the reform of individual men, have been carried on during the past few years by our ardent Endeavorers. And yet only a beginning has been made. The government of Americas cities is Americas shame. If our great municipalities are to be redeemed within a generation from the foul hands into which they have fallen, the work must be done by the present Christian Endeavor host and their friends. Who will pretend to say that conscience has anything to do with the politics of any of our great cities? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
