"Our Town and Civic Duty" by Jane Eayre Fryer is a collection of civic educational stories written in the early 20th century. The text is intended for young American readers, focusing on instilling civic virtues and responsibilities such as courage, self-control, thrift, and kindness towards others, particularly those who serve the community. The stories emphasize the importance of understanding and appreciating the roles of public servants while cultivating a sense of duty towards one's community and nation. The opening portion of the book introduces the basic ideas behind its content, highlighting the significance of teaching children about civic virtues through relatable stories.
