Excerpt from Preparing College Men and Women for PoliticsAlthough as a judge I am precluded from all contacts with politics, I look back on the 29 years I spent in the public affairs of Essex County, New Jersey, as the most useful in my life. It was hard work, but I crave for young men and women of the rising generation a satisfaction similar to mine in helping to give their communities honest, effective government in the public interest. I am convinced that our college men and women, whose education has provided them a solid background for their activity, can supply the strongest possible constructive force in the politics of this country by working with their party organizations in their home communities. It was with these thoughts in mind that I encouraged the establishment of the Citizenship Clearing House at the Law School of New York University. Its great objective is to put outstanding young college men and women in touch with opportunities for participation in politics on a self-respecting basis. Contrary to popular notions, no young man or woman of intelligence and character need fear participation in politics if he or she is prepared to give rather than to get. It is gratifying that the idea of the Citizenship Clearing House has received wide acceptance among leaders in education, law and politics.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
