(4) A distinct improvement in the supply and power of teachers,
chiefly as the result of better training in connection with
universities and the establishment of a remuneration which will enable
them to live in the manner demanded by the nature and responsibilities
of their calling.
The two main aspects of the development of citizenship through the
schools which have already been noted may be summarised as follows,
and may be considered separately:
(1) The direct teaching of civics or of citizenship;
(2) The development through the ordinary school community of the
qualities of the good citizen.

England and Wales and for purposes connected therewith" [Bill 89], had
not been introduced by Mr Fisher when this article was written.]
THE DIRECT STUDY OF CITIZENSHIP
The study in schools of civic relations has been developed to a much
greater extent in America than in England. This is probably due
largely to the fact that the American need is the more obvious. In
normal times, there is a constant influx of people of different
nationalities to the United States whom it is the aim of the
government to make into American citizens.
