The bulletin emphasizes the fact
that "civics is not taught as seper-
ate subject until the eighth grade, but
that civic education is phase of all
the work of the school. The aim
seems to be to make of education, not
process of instruction in a variety
of subjects, but a process Of growth.
during which the various relations OF
life are unfolded."
incidentally il is pointed out that
there is no subject of ethics or
moral education in the Indianapolis
schools, but the direct moral training
afforded by the course here outlined
is peculiarly virile. So, also, while
there is no attempt to give direct vo-
cation training in the strict sense Of
the term, nor even any organized
form of vocational guidance never
theless the fact is always taken into
account that the citizen must be
worker and the worker a citizen"
instruction through the course OF
study is, however, only a part Of the
training for citizenship given in these
schools. An understanding Of COM
munity life and of government" de-
the cultivation Of qualities and habits
of good citizenship. instruction and
training must so hand in hand, The
latter is largely d matter Of practice
Pupil participa ton in school manage
rent is a very real thing in Indianapo-
lis, and in some schools it is carried
TO 81 high degree of effectiveness. It
rnanifests itself in the method of pre-
pairing and conducting recitations; in
the care of school property; in protect
inC the rights Of younger children. in
maintaining the sanitary conditions
of the building and grounds: in beau
tifyine school grounds; in the making
Of repairs and equipment for our
scnool;' in fact, in every aspect Of
the school life.
In Indianapolis pupil participation in
the government of the school leads
naturally into pupil participation in
the larger civic life of the community
of which the school itself is part.
Maintaining order on the playground
naturally extends to maintaining order
on the streets in the vicinity OF the
school 1t is common for committees
Of older boys to look after the safety
Of younger children in crossing streets
near the school. Selicitude for the
cleanliness ard beauty of school
grounds develops equal solicitude- for
the cleanliness and beauty of adJoin-
ing streets, alleys, and vacant lots.
School gardening quickly stimulates
home gardening. and whole neighbor-
hoods have been transformed through
the influence of the schools.
Whether the children who are now
undergoing this training for citizen
ship will in reality be efficient citizens
10 or 20 years hence can not be fore
told. according to Mr.. Dunn. But he
adds: There is apparently ample evil
dence that they are better citizens
now; and, moreover, that the present
civic life of the city is appreciably af-
fected by it. Where immediate results
are so apparent and SO far-reaching,
the effect upon future citizenship
should certainly be appreciable."
