About this book
Elements of Civil Government is described on its title page as a text-book for use in public schools, high schools and normal schools and a manual of reference for teachers. The preface says the text-book begins "at home" and that the starting-point is the family, the first form of government with which the child comes in contact. Under the heading RIGHTS the text says the members have certain rights, that is, certain just claims upon the family.
The text says the family government exists for all, especially for the children, that they may be protected, guided, and taught to become useful men and women. The text says that where a right exists, a duty always exists with it. Under the heading WAR DEPARTMENT the text says the secretary of war is the head of the war department. The text says a justice of the peace can issue warrants for the arrest of persons charged with crimes, and is qualified to administer oaths.
