Civil Government in Our Public
Schools.

Mr.. Editor: Why is it that Civil Gov
ernment is not taught in our public
schoosG Our Legislature recognizing the
Importance of civil instruction very wise
ly added this branch to onr public schools
curriculum. But so far as my know edge
goes, and l have been in a position to
keep informed on the subject, it has never
been taught in any of the public schools
of Greene county.
Who is at fault in this matter, nd who
will be the first to break the record by
introducing this vitality important sub
iect into our school system
To prepare the youth of oar county for
citizenship is the primary purpose of our
system of education, and yet the very
science of citizenship, Civil Government,
has not been introduced into our schools.
l find the idea that the purpose of all
laws and government is to protect the
executives in expressing and intorcing
arbitrary measures upon the people OBJ
tain generally. We need 10 disabuse the
minds of our people of this delusion, and
to teach them the true function of gov
eminent establish justice, secure do
nestle tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defense, promote the general well
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty"
and what they as citizens owe to their
government.
We can not teach young people to be
true patriotic citizens without teaching
these things. This can be very etfectu-
ally taught without the aid of text books.
Every teacher should take short while,
two or three times each week Tor nstruc-
ting his pupils in this science, even if he |
has to leave off some other recitation.
ANY iudicious teacher can vary his meth
DDS of instruction along this line so as to |
make it very interesting and profitable to
his school.
1t is q lamentable fact. and a reflection |
on us teachers that so many of our people |
know so little of the system of govern
ment under which we live. have often !
been surprised to find our school children, |
large and small. so utterly ignorant OF
our methods Of nomination and election |
Of officers, county state or national, and |
The duties each have to perform.
Now since these things can be taught |
without,the textbook ,Iwhere |
loes the fault lie7 The answer is appa-
ant. Consider this matter in the light |
If what has been said, teachers, and see
# you have not been remiss of your duty. |
Would it not be well for us to commence |
low to give civic instruction. Take up |
beat government, and then all the inter
mediate steps, town, county and state to
.,-.rn,
Some ona . suggested. ~ cutting out |
: -.nuidates from the school and hold
ng elections at appointed times, con
lucted in all respects just as we conduct |
1ur elections for the various officers of |
our government as very feasible plan |
for begi ming instruction on this import |
ant subject. You will.fnd such exercises
as this very interesting as well as in
structiye. Xxx.

Wanannaker is Right.

In order for us to have good times
the people must not only make mon
ey, but they must also spend it freely
Inc two things are reciprocal. 1t il
the market that keeps the factories
and the stores going and pays the
wages
This is what John Wanamaker said
recently. Mr.. w anamaker is one OF
enc lew rich men in this country with
aglimmer of economic sense. The
average editorial idiot is advising the
people to save their money. They
must be saving it; they certainly are
not spending much OF it. Nothing will
so quickly breed hard times as an
epidemic OF economy. There is a cir.
culating medium of but 1923 per capt.
ia, and probably $15 of this is in the
banks or otherwise idle. If the peo-
pie save the remaining which is
not much to save what becomes of
our circulating medium And yet
the people are urged to save their
money. You might as well ask a man
to save his breath or dam up the cir
culation of his blood. Under our
present laughable system of society
the spendthrift is a benefactor and
prudent man is an enemy to the pub
lie welfare.

CALUMET TO HELP FIGHT.
Revenue Cutter from Chicago Sails
from Charleston to Cuba
Il Well Equipped.

The revenue cutter Calumet sailed
from Charlestown navy yard the other
afternoon for Cuba. She has been es-
pecially fitted and equipped for heavy
inshore and river work. She is lake
revenue cutter, hardly larger than a
harbor towboat. She was so small and
looked SO insignificant as she hauled
up to the yard on her arrival from Chi
cago that all outsiders thought she
was one of the dozen or more tugs
that enter the yard in the course Of the
day, and her arrival was not reported.
Despite her size, however, the Calu-
met, as now equipped, is formidable
little craft. She is of shallow draft,
good speed and more roomy than her
ocean-going sisters. Since she has been
there the one-pound gun that she car
ried in the revenue service has been
removed from her bow and in its stead
has been substituted one of the latest
pattern 47-millimeter Hotchkiss re-
evolving cannon, one of the most ter
ribly effective of modern small guns.
Lieut.. Gushing, her commander, who
brought her down from the lakes, is
still in command, and will take the
boat to Cuban She will go down the
coast by the inside route, making sew
eral stops at various ports, and when
she reaches Cuba will have accom-
plished the remarkable feat of having
completed journey of more than 1000
miles to take a hand in the war.

Globe Gazette is cited as one who is
opposing Updegraff on general prin-

Bro. Marine was candidate for pen.

for the place. Bro. Marine is good

he Is dlsinterested. Guess again, Bro.

The defence of Mr.. Updegraff is no

reason for the opposition of the Cres-
co Republican to his nomination.
There is no question but Mr.. Upde-

circulated petitions for the appoint

nearly all the people of all parties.
Mr.. Webster and other applicants
represented to Mr.. Updegraff that
Mr.. Patterson had taken advantage

course Mr.. Updegraff as he promised
