Elementary Civics

Elementary Civics: The New Civics (1918) is a book written by Charles McCarthy. It explores the concept of civics, which is the study of the rights and duties of citizenship. The book is designed as a guide for elementary school students to learn about the principles of citizenship and how to become active and responsible members of their community. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of the United States government, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the role of citizens in a democracy. It also discusses the importance of civic engagement, including voting, participating in community organizations, and volunteering. The New Civics is a term coined by McCarthy to describe the updated approach to teaching civics that he advocates in this book. He argues that traditional civics education focused too much on memorization and not enough on practical applications of civic knowledge. The New Civics, on the other hand, emphasizes active learning and real-world experiences to help students develop a deeper understanding of the importance of civic engagement. Overall, Elementary Civics: The New Civics is a comprehensive guide to teaching elementary school students about civic responsibility and the role of citizens in a democracy. It is a valuable resource for teachers, parents, and students who want to learn more about this important subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
