Abstract

Citizens Grown and Made

This article presents information on two books: "Civic Training in Soviet Russia," by Samuel Northrup Harper and "Great Britain: A study of Civic Loyalty," by John Merriman Gaus. These two books examines objectively the systems of civic cohesion in a group of states, of determining the broad trends of civic training in these modern states and of indicating possibilities in the further development and control of civic education. it is informed that the books are entirely different from the manuals of "civics" or government and that they have no apparent didactic or pedagogical purpose whatever. They are scholarly studies, planned on broad lines, of the influences, some of them direct and others remote, which a state brings to bear upon its people to make them the kind of citizens they are.
