Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Minnesota In preparing this account of the way Minnesota is governed, the author has sought to make the framework and the operations of the government stand out as realities in a living world, but he well knows that a text-book can only imperfectly succeed in such a task. The responsibility of leading youth to an understanding and appreciation of the political organization by which they are surrounded, and above all, the giving of the proper attitude toward public matters, must depend largely upon the kind of atmosphere furnished by the home and by the school. The text-book in civil government is only an aid to the study of the subject. The one here presented presupposes some observation of governmental arrangements, such at least as are made in most schools of the grammar grade, in "general lessons," or in connection with civic leagues or young citizens' clubs, such as are described in the "Course of Study" recently published by the Department of Public Instruction. The provisions of the Constitution and the statutes have been made the starting-point in discussing the activities of the government.
