III. Citizenship Education
The services of the Bureau of Citizenship Education include the single
lecture, the short course consisting of three to ten lectures in citizenship
and government, the citizenship institute, and the furnishing of information.
The single lecture deals with citizenship in a general way unless
some particular subject is requested. The short course begins with a general
study of the mechanics of local, state, or national government and
continues with their application to the life of the citizen. The institute is
arranged upon request in cooperation with the Virginia League of Women
Voters. Supplying answers to specific questions in the field of citizenship
and government is a service less conspicuous to report but no less important,
inasmuch as it meets an immediate and pressing need of the individual.
In addition to these direct public services the instructor in charge
compiles bulletins on phases of citizenship and government not only for the
bureau but also for the Virginia High School Literary and Athletic League
when the subject of debate concerns government. Similarly the instructor
compiles package libraries and bibliographies on governmental questions.
