Prof. SHELDON of Kansas says the field of civics is the most important of modern fields of study and action.
Civics is the practical application of all the sciences of the humanities -- sociology, biology, economics, philosophy, ethics; and unlike other special fields, is one in which every individual is more or less vitally interested.  Many may easily forego the study of astronomy or geology, but few can afford to be ignorant of the principles of civics, because  they touch us on every hand.
