Practical Instruction in Ciiuics
GiUen Newark School Children

of which the general public knows little,
Newark is abreast of the times,
and even a little in advance of many
cities of it's size. The study of civics,
as affecting Newark, as well as the
subject in general, is not a new course
here. In fact, it has been part of the
regular studies in the schools for sew
eral years, and term after term is TAX
ing a more and more prominent place
in the school work.
While the work itself is being done
in the schools, the Free Public Library
was responsible for instituting the
movement here and making it possible
to continue it so effectively. Ever since
the project was launched some six
years ago the data collected by the
library and placed at the disposal OF
pupils and teachers has grown until
now it occupies a department almost
by itself, and more is Increased daily.
The work began in 1908. A year be-
fore that John Cotton Dana, librarian
in the Free Public Library, attended a
convention of librarians in Trenton, at
| which the subject of city study was
brought up. He returned here with the
idea of taking up the work, and in
order to make u beginning got the
principals of the schools of the city to-
on a history of Newark. After these
preliminary steps, however, little was
done by the principals, and it was not
uptil the next year that the history or
Newark, written by a Newark news
paper man, was published. Later it
in the public schools.
In that e began the collection of
newspaper clippings dealing with New
ark for the use of the children in the
schools. At that time it vas included
in the children's department, in charge
of Miss Helen Peters Dodd. From that
it has grown to such proportions that
the department was unable to handle
1t, and 1t was thought advisable to put
it in such form that older persons, as
well as the children. might have ac-
cess to the material. 1t was, therefore,
made a part of the school department,
in charge of Miss Grace Thompson.
Practically every subject of interest
in Newark is covered by the data in
the hands of the library authorities
Newspaper clippings are used in most
cases. At first these selections from
the daily papers were put together in
haphazard manner As the number in
creased, however, it was seen that the
task OF making them useful to the pub
lie was greater than had at first been

supposed. Under the present system
each paper is carefully gone through
and the matter of value for reference
cut out. The clippings are pasted in
scrap books, indexed and cross-indexed.
Items of temporary moment are kept
by themselves and when their useful
ness is over are thrown away. BY this
method only material of lasting value
is retained.
Some items of interest cannot be OBJ
tanned from the papers, however, and
in such cases the information is gath
cred at first hand by the representa-
tives of the library. The county Jail
furnishes such an example, as there was
no newspaper article fully describing
the place. A personal visit was made
to the Jail and the description, after it
had been written, submitted to the
warden for his approval and correc-
ton. The same thing has been done
In several other instances. These
articles are mimeographed and copies
kept on file. Teachers in the schools
are provided with copies and also the
pupils in classes studying the topics
covered by the papers.
The children themselves are encour-
aged to save articles of interest in the
daily papers and In this way some OF
the classes n schools are gathering
reference Libraries OF their own. Where
it is possible the pupils are taken to
the point of interest which they are
studying, or else are urged to visit
them by themselves. That part Of the
program, however, is left in the hands
of the teachers.
The object of the work is to make
the pupils know and understand thelI
own city and government better thar
any other. The promoters of the ides
believe in the subject Of civics in gen
eral, but also believe hat the rea
benefit to the children, or to any ont
else interested, lies in the knowledge
that will be of use to them in becom'
ing better citizens.
The school work begins in the 81
grade of the grammar schools, al
though the required course in civics
does not until the sixth
grade Is reached. In the lowe
classes such topics as churches
the mayor, policemen and the fire de
partment are taken up. Later com,

City Leads in Movement In
augurated to Instruct Pupils
in Important Subject.

IN Chicago and several other large
Western cities a movement is IN
foot among parents who are greatly
interested in the education of their
children to teach them practical civics.
While the movement is not entirely
new, it is being given more publicity
just at present than it ever has re-
ceived before.
The point that the parents make is
that the children, while given sufficient
instruction on general topics, learn
little or nothing about the cities where
in they live. Most of them know the
names of the principal streets and where
the City Hall is, though the latter is
not always a piece of general knowl.

Hall and why, are dark mysteries tc
