Excerpt from Practical Aids to the Teaching of Civics
In preparing texts, the tendency has been toward simplification and this has been carried to such an extent that, often, the purpose of a text-book disappears. There is no royal road. Inductive methods in languages and short cuts to prepare for reading have come and gone and teachers now are falling back upon the old plan of learning the principles of the language.
In Arithmetic, constant and persistent drill upon the fundamentals is essential. Short methods have been tried and are still being tried, but the facts of mathematics are still the same and there is no other way of gaining the accuracy and readiness necessary than that of learning the tables and combinations thoroughly and persistently practicing until the desired end is attained. The same is true in Grammar, Literature, History, Geography and the other branches usually taught in our elementary schools. In Civics, supplementary readers have appeared in numbers, having for their purpose the developing of good citizenship, and as supplementary work they have an important place to fill, but if it is desired to give instruction in the science of government, there must be a careful study of the Constitution of our country and of the laws under which we live.
