Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship and the Schools The addresses and essays contained in this volume have been prepared at various times and for various purposes during the last fifteen or sixteen years. I am well aware that they show clearly in manner and thought the variety of uses to which they have been put, even in some instances the pressure of the circumstances under which they were written; hut this possibly will not diminish their usefulness, and it has been thought best not to attempt to rewrite them. All of them have a direct bearing upon education, either from the point of view of educational doctrine or from that of school administration. All of them deal more or less, most of them primarily, with the relation of educational work to social and political life. The essay on School-Book Legislation was the outcome of a careful observation of the process of lawmaking in the state of Indiana and is perhaps as much a political as an educational study.
