Excerpt from City ProblemsThis is one of a series of small books designed to convey to young people some ideas of practical citizenship and to help cultivate the spirit of friendship, helpful kindness and co-operation. Such books alone, if perfectly adapted to their purpose and put into the hands of young people, will, now and then, prove to be good seed fallen on good ground. It is well, however, for those who wish to be a blessing to the young people, to recognize the fact that, as a rule, putting good books into the hands of boys and girls will not accomplish for them the thing that each one needs. On the other hand, they are glad to be led by older persons whom they respect, and they must have encouragement and both wise and constant leading, if the best results are to be secured.We have ceased to hope to see citizenship rise to the plane of perfection simply by means of teaching the words or the truths contained in the precepts of morality, but by daily and constant training of the children in the application of right principles to their actions in play and work, in school and wherever they may be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
