TILDEN FOUNDATIONS,
1866 the Regents of the State of New York have held
1930xaminations three times a year in all the Academies and
Academic Departments of the Union Schools, granting certif-
cates to such pupils as pass satisfactorily, and apportioning
upon these certificates a large sum of money among the schools
of the State. As pupils begin the study of the higher branches
after passing this examination, the questions are made to em-
brace all that is practical in the above branches. In all these
9,000 questions not a single unimportant or "catch" question
can be found. These questions have been published in one
neatly bound volume, and separately in pamphlet form. They
are now used as text-books in many of the leading schools of
the country. Cornell University, recognizing their practical
character, now admits, without any further examination upon
these subjects, pupils who have passed an examination upon
these questions.

The following TEN EDITIONS are now published:
1. The Regents' Questions in Arithmetic, Geography,
Grammar and Spelling, complete, with Keys to the
Arithmetic, Geography and Grammar Questions,

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION.

Instruction in Civil Government should be both theoretical and practical. Unfortunately the text-books in general use stop with the theory.

They deal with the science of government but, being intended for use throughout the United States, they give no information as 1 the art of government as practiced in this Stac

Our students learn what is the guaranty or Republican government, but not how th government is exercised in their own town.

They are drilled in Incorporeal Heredita ments, but do not learn what kind of causes can be tried before a Justice of the Peace

To supply this deficiency, is the aim of the present manual. Beginning with the school district, the names, manner of election, duties, and salaries are given of all important officers from the school trustee to the President of the United States.

The rapid sale of the First and Second Editions of this book encourages the hope that with the additions now made, this manual may be considered indispensable in every progressive school in the State of New York.
