School days! Here they are again! Millions-of American boys and girls marching into the schools every -morning! nd for
what? They are the raw material out of which the schools are to manufacture good American citizens. The hope of the Republic
is based on the schools of the Nation-and it is the duty of the schools to train the children not only to love their country but to
understand the processes of its government. . , , , , '- , .
How difficult it has been for the teachers to perform this particular duty is admitted by the teachers, regretted by the parents
and proved by the pupils themselves. The dry-as-dust text books on civil government are to the actual processes of government
what chemical formulae are to actual laboratory experiments. At last, however, there has come a book that visualizes the work.
of the American government and puts it before the reader as if he actually saw itswheels revolve and its engines drive. It is not
a text book in the strict sense but it is a book that every boy and girl in school ought to read m order to illumine and enliven the
books that are worked with in school. It is "The American Government" by Frederic J. Haskin and it is to be had so cheaply
that no family is to poor too own a copy. V . ' . . ' , , . . '
Teachers and parents and pupils airagree that this book is what is required to make the study of civil government a pleasure
and not a bore a book to quicken the patriotism and stir the blood of every American. : -
Read What They Say About It Teachers and Parents and Pupils
"Some months ago my boy, who Is a student in
the high school, saw an advertisement of Haskin's
book 'The American Government.' He thought
that it was just what he needed in his studies fur
reference. When it arrived he became so ab
sorbed in It that he read it through; it gripped
him like a novel. I happen to be the president of
our school board, and it has occurred to me that
this book ought to be prescribed as a part of the
course In every high school. When I want to
refresh my memory, or learn Just how things are
done, I now know where to turn; and therefore I
appreciate the volume of my own quite as much
as the boy appreciates his." Ceo. B. Byaaen. Mil
ford, Del.
T like The American Government' for it ap
peals to man and boy alike. The pupil old enough
to study the subject will need no urging to in
duce him to read it through, while the adult will
endeavor to finish it at a sitting. R should be a
desk book in every classroom where United States
history is taught' Joshua M. Dill, Master, John
A. Aadrcw School, Bostoa, Mass.
" The American Government has already be
come a household word in my home. My boy in
the eighth grade of the public schools has been
saving coupons for himself and his friends, and
many of them have copies of the book. It is
charming to read, and It seems to me It should be
widely useful in education." William A. Wilbur,
Dean. The Georsre Washlnsosi University, Waah
laatoa. DC
"I have read The American Government," by
Frederic I. Haskin, with great interest. I wish
that every one who is Interested in the govern
ment of our country might read it It will be of
irreat value to pupils in our elementary ami high
schools and to all teachers who are studying or
teaching civics, and should supplement texts
which treat of the framework of the national
government. It will give them a clearer under
linding and a more abiding interest in the gov
ernment under which they live." Homer P. Lewis.
Snperlateadent of PabUe Schools, Worcester, Maas.
-Tt Is a pleasure for me to recommend The
American Government" as probably the best expo
sition of the workings of the machinery at Wash
ington, and throughout the United States, as well
as our Insular possessions, that has ever been
written, and I flrmly believe that the book should
be. not only In every one of our school libraries,
but should be a text book In every school in the
land. My son, who Is a Junior In the St. Paul
Central High School, stated to me of his own voli
tion, and he read the book voluntarily, that It
cave him more Information relative to American
Governmental affairs, and that it was put up in a
more Interesting manner, than any. or all, of the
text books that he was studying In school.

"I have run through the book entitled 'The
American Governmenf as carefully as time per
mits, and am satisfied that you have rendered a
real service to the youth of our republic as well
as to many adults. Especially also should all for
eigners who expect to make this country their
home hasten to obtain a copy. Its plan and lan-
f uage are clear and within the grasp of all. The
acts, set forth with accuracy, should not turn
our heads, but may, with right, fire our patriot
ism. My family have also read the book, one
member remarking: 'It Is very Interesting and
instructive'; another, "Very Interesting and fine';
another, after reading a part, 'I must read that'
book. It will help ma -to lit for Yale'; another,
'You should read and recommend that book; it is
quite complete.' " Paul Henry PItkinr Pitkin's

"I have just read the new book entitled The
American Government.' I do not know of another
work that is so instructive and at the same time
so fascinatingly interesting. Every adult could
read it with pleasure and profit and every school
boy ought to read and reread It, and If given the
opportunity, I venture the assertion he will. I
put it in the hands of my own son, thirteen years
of age and about to enter high school. He la
carried away with it, and It has afforded the
entire family interesting and profitable 'dinner
table' topica ever since it came into the house. It
is remarkable how It has stimulated his interest
in affairs of our government. In this way it must
exercise a wholesome influence by Inspiring a
higher patriotism and better citizenship on the
part of the boys and girls. I hope a copy will
find Its way into every school library. I have
written our State Superintendent of Public In
struction, urging him to nave it usea as wioeiy as
possible in the schools of this State." J. H. Beek,
General Secretary, St. Paul Association of Corn-

The American Governmenf was read with
more than ordinary interest. Ordinarily the peo
ple of a country think of the government as a
far-off political institution quite removed In its
scope from their daily Interests and. welfare. We
learn from this book what a really great instltu
' tion the American Government Is now It is in
. deed the servant of the people, promoting with
coble ambition the material welfare and the hap
piness of each and every American. We have
lone needed lust such a book one that tells all
about the letters we receive daily; the products
and animals raised for our dally need; the weather
we are going to have; the weignts ana measures
by which our dally necessities are meted out to
us; the registry of every one of us In Uncle Sam's

menf with great interest and find it unusually
adapted to the end in view. It Is really a
'multum in parvo' on our republican institutions.
You have gathered widely and wisely; the accu
racy is remarkable and the detail marvelous. I
know of no work on similar lines that meets the
situation so completely. It Is alike entertaining
and edifying. It ought to go Into the hands of
every citizen and be read to the family. Such,
course would counteract the Ignorance which so
largely prevails and build up a nation Informed
as to Its own merits. If our public schools could
adopt it as a class book it would occasion the
happiest results in developing enduring patriot
ism.. I congratulate you upon your insight In
meeting the paramount need of the hour." Lewis

"No one can read the excellent book 'The Ameri
can Governmenf without feeling, as have I. the
keenest satisfaction satisfaction in the wonder
ful nation that has furnished such stupendous
facts to be written about, and satisfaction in the
writer who has marshaled those facts so won
derfully. To me the information contained in
this book is valuable for three reasons. It is un
deniably accurate; it is unquestionably up-to-the
minute; it is Intensely interesting. The -careful
reader of The American Governmenf will be
come a more intelligent, a more patriotic and a
more useful citizen. For that reason alone I
would like to see It possessed not only by the
frown-ups of the country, but also by our em
ryo citizens, the boys and girls In our American
schools. No greater incentive could be placed
before their minds." Charles A. MeMabon, Sec
retary Board of School Examiners, Buffalo. Jr. Y.
To say that I am pleased with The American
Governmenf would be to tell but half the truth.
I am more than pleased I am delighted. Any
man who masters its contents will have a clear
idea as to the machinery of our national gov
ernment, the divisions of our governmental sys
tem, the funotlons of the several departments and
the duties and responsibilities of the respective
officers thereof. It ought to be adopted as a text
book in our colleges and schools and to have place
In every home." George Edward Rood, former
President Dickinson College.
There are few people living in our country
whose information will not be materially In
creased by reading this book; and to most people
It will furnish a store of information concerning
tb practical operation of our government which
every citizen ought to have. I should be glad to
see it made a text book In our publlo schools, as
Its reading will undoubtedly give every scholar a
better equipment for the duties and responsibili
ties of citizenship. The book contains, in a com
pendious and very complete and entertaining
form, information which can be obtained nowhere
else, save by reading portions of many different
'books. It appears to me to fill a place In the
literature of citizenship which has too long been
permitted to remain vacant." T. H. Gibbon, Law
yer, Los Ana-olea, CaL
" The American Government' came in my morn
ing's mail. I found It difficult to lay the book
down when the lunch hour came. It Is hard to
realize what a fund of Information is packed into
Its pages. The writer has made the story so
Interesting that one would almost believe he were
reading a romance, rather than a full general
account of the business side of our government I
am sure the book will be well received In Cali
fornia, for it contains Just what our progressive
.people are eager to know in regard to the federal
f overnment and what they are unable to get la
heir reading of the political Journals and text
books on economics. I believe It would furnish
