Citizens Made and Remade: An Interpretation of the Significance and Influence of George Junior Republics by William R. George is a book that explores the history and impact of the George Junior Republics, a series of residential communities for troubled youth that were established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book examines the philosophy and practices of these communities, which aimed to teach young people the values of hard work, self-discipline, and responsible citizenship through a combination of education, vocational training, and community service. Through a combination of historical analysis and personal anecdotes, George argues that the George Junior Republics were an important force for social reform and youth empowerment in America. He also explores the ways in which the Republics influenced the development of other social institutions, including the juvenile justice system and the modern concept of youth development. Overall, Citizens Made and Remade offers a comprehensive and insightful look at a little-known chapter in American social history, and sheds light on the enduring importance of programs that seek to empower and uplift disadvantaged youth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
