Excerpt from Community and Vocational Civics In Part One, which is devoted to group life, are treated the chief features of human society as they appear in the home, the school, the church, the local community, the nation, and the world. Part Two, which deals with community welfare, is focussed upon such problems as health, protection, recreation, civic planning, and the care of the handicapped. In Part Three government is discussed as an institution engaged in meeting human needs, - making law, enforcing legislation, establishing justice. Part Four presents in a concrete way the simple, but fundamental, economic principles that underlie all occupations. In Part Five are considered the basic vocations which enter into modern business and industry. Viewed as a whole, the first three -parts of the volume comprise what is usually called community civics and the last two parts what is generally known as vocational civics, or occupations. Teaching Aids The volume is supplied with teaching aids designed to vitalize civics and to provide training in citizenship and not merely for citizenship. Pictures, maps, and graphs have been selected for their interpretative and illustrative value rather than for mere decorative purposes. On page vi appears a classroom library of twelve titles to which reference is made repeatedly throughout the volume. With each chapter is given, in addition, a list of books recommended for voluntary reading and chosen to illuminate and humanize the unit embodied in the chapter. Suggestive questions and problems for class discussion form a part of every section. Finally, at the end of each chapter are proposed activities and projects for individual pupils and for committees of pupils. All problems, questions, and projects are, of course, merely suggestive, the wise teacher will use, omit, or modify them, as best fits the needs of the class.
