Excerpt from Lessons in Democracy: For Use in Adult Immigrant Classes This book nas been prepared to assist newcomers in America to acquire a working knowledge of the duties and privileges Of citizenship. It has been written for readers whose knowledge of the language is limited and whose previous education has not been extensive. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to use facts of interest to mature minds. While primarily designed for use in schools, it is hoped that it may serve a much wider group than those who attend adult immigrant classes. Most immigrants never attend formal classes. Their knowledge of English is picked up in the associa tions Of daily life. This book should find a useful place among those who do not attend American schools. It may thus supplement as well as assist in the institutionalized process Of education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
