Excerpt from Canadian Citizenship a Treatise on Civil GovernmentWithin a few years Canada has gained much notice from the political world, and its value as an important part of Greater Britain is becoming more fully recognized. It is doubtful, however, if the youth of the Dominion yet fully appreciate the great natural resources of the country, its stable form of government, its free institutions, its good educational advantages, its excellent judicial system, and the many other valuable characteristics to which Canada may lay claim. The relations of the Domin ion to the Empire will necessarily engage the thoughtful attention of the next generation. It is eminently desirable that those who are in a few years to be entrusted with the control of public affairs should realize the responsibilities they are to assume. It is important that young people should be taught the great value of Canadian institutions, and enabled to understand, from the study of history and political science, the magnificent heritage which is secured to the country by its connection with England.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
