Elements of Civil Government A Text-Book for Use in Public Schools, High Schools and Normal Schools and a Manual of Reference for Teachers E-text prepared by Al Haines "Elements of Civil Government" by Alexander L. Peterman is a textbook intended for use in public schools, high schools, and normal schools, likely written in the early 20th century. This publication serves as a manual and guide for teachers, aiming to instill knowledge of civil governance and promote good citizenship among students. The book starts with a foundational exploration of government concepts, beginning with the family unit as the most basic form of governance before expanding into broader civil structures like schools, counties, and states. The opening of the text establishes the importance of understanding civil government by connecting it to familiar experiences of children—starting at home with family governance before progressing to wider civic responsibilities. It emphasizes the necessity of education in citizenship, outlining the rights and duties associated with various governmental roles, including the obligations of students, parents, and community members. Additionally, the author advocates for early engagement with government principles, effectively setting the stage for an educational journey through the layers of civil governance that will be explored in subsequent chapters.
