Citizenship and the School

by P. B. Showan

Overview

Originally published in 1923 as part of a series of handbooks for teachers, this book sets out a possible course of instruction in citizenship through the teaching of history and geography. Showan includes a helpful bibliography for students and teachers alike who are seeking more information on teaching a subject in such a way, as he says in his preface, 'as to inculcate a respect for our national institutions, a desire and an aptitude for public and social service … and an abiding love for England'. This book will be of value to anyone interested in the history of education, particularly citizenship education.
