Synopsis
Excerpt from A Decade of Civic Development
The Civic Renascence was the title given to the following chapters when they appeared in The C hazfttauquan,1 to whose publishers obli gations are due for the kind permission to revise and reprint. The periods of rebellion, reconstruction, industrial expansion, and im perialism will be no more conspicuous in the orientation of the end of the century than the civic awakening which is now too near in time and has been too spontaneous in character for proper appreciation. It is too early to measure the full meaning of the new civic spirit and its accomplishments, but to sum up a few of the spectacular evidences of civic progress may serve to interpret a movement already as broad as the continent.
