Excerpt from Our Neighborhood: Good Citizenship in Rural CommunitiesWhile their attention is being directed to these things, it is necessary that they be taught to think in terms well known to them and their neighbors. As citizens they must think about roads, play grounds, pig clubs, courts, seed corn, taxes, game laws; community morals, prevention of waste, pure air and water, and the prevention of diseases among people and farm animals. Their skill in handling these and similar problems will be the measure of their civilization and progress. This is especially true of those who live on farms and in small country towns. The schools that do most for the young people of the countryside will devote much time to the definite things that are close to the door-step, things that concern men and women who expect to live in the country community.This book has been prepared for the purpose of directing the attention of country boys and girls to some of the definite things they will have to do in later years as members of a community. It shows the splendid possibilities of the kind of community life that will keep boys and girls in the country where they can be independent and happy. Instructions of this kind will help to arrest the present unfortunate tendency of country youth to crowd into the narrowing and often squalid life of the city.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 47: October, 1912Would it not be a good idea, in order that we may learn the meaning of these hymns (most of which are sung by the older members of the Church in Fast-day services and other meetings) to set apart a number of Sundays, at some time in the year, in which to teach and develop them? Not by the usual method, of com pelling the children to repeat the bare words, over and over again, until they learn them by rote, and are able to recite them, poll - parrot fashion, with out one thought of their meaning, but by having some good speaker treat one hymn - let us say, to begin with, We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet. Let the speaker give a short account of the Gospel restoration in this dis pensation, with God's authority, and Priesthood again given _to man; to gether with all the offices of the prim itive Church, such as Apostles, Proph ets, Evangelists, etc. Tell how thank ful - the people were, and still should be, that they live under a new dis pensation of heavenly authority, and are not'left in doubt and darkness, each to grope his way, as he in his blindness may consider best - nothing sure; one man's word as good as an other; no one able to say, T-hus saith the Lord. Instead of this condition obtaining, we now have Prophets to lead us, the sun of righteousness shining upon us, and the beginning of a millennial day ushered in. After this, read the whole hymn through. Then let the children sing, We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet, to guide us in these latter days, etc. Witness the electrifying effect. Such an im pression will never be wholly efiaced.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
