i GOOD BOOK.

1 eoOD BOOK.
patriotic Citizenship" by
Thos. ). Morgan, L. L, D., Ex-
U. S. Commissioner of Indian
affairs, is a book which should
be in the hands of every teacher
in our public schools and might
be used to best advantage by the
higher classes of pupils. It is a
veritiable dictionary of patrio-.
tism, or if that title smacks too
much of jingoism for any one it
might be called an epitome of
our constitution.
The object of this book is TO
stimulate patriotism. and pro
mote good citizenship; this pur-
pose dominates the entire work,
and has controlled the selection
and arrangement of the topics;
the admission and rejection of
material, and the method Of
treatment.
1t is adapted to the awakening
and Strengthening of a deep and
lasting love of country. and an
enthusiastic devotion to Ameri
can institutions. The golden
woof of the volume is freedom,-
freedom of thought, speech, con
science, worship. action; the sill
yer warp is loyaley,-loyalty to
truth, duty, and constituted au
thority, and into the web is wov-
en-, in outline, many a picture of
thrilling interest.
The method of the book is
simple; its essential feature be
Ing = cateohism of about one
hundred and forty, short, direct
questions, with as many concise,
comprehensive answers. The
text of the answers is followed
by brief citations from a wide
range OF authorities, ancient and
modern, bat chiefly American.
These are geiias of thought from
our brightest authors. states
men, historians, poets and edu-
Gators.
The manual is designed pri
marily for public schools, to be
used in the upper grammar
grades, following a course in U.
S. History. 1t is adopted for
use in private schools, in families
and while prepared especially
tor the young, it is no primer for
babes, but presents view of the
essential features of our 'Repub-
lie found nowhere else in the
same compass. 1t is unique, and
may be studied probably by any
person, native or foreign born,
who wishes to know the s1gnifi-
eance of the flag, and to under
stand the privileges and respon-
sibilities of American citizen =
ship.
Patriotism, to be fruitful, must
be intelligent; it must compre-
bend the content Of love of coun-
try, must know the full signifi
canoe of the word privilege"
and responsibility as applied to
citizenship. How shall one love
liberty, who does not understand
the meaning of the word? How
shall he become enthusiastic
over the free schools, who knows
nothing of their purpose and
work? Why should he be will
ing to die for the flag, who knows
nothing of its history or of it's
significance? Why should he
sdard the ballot box with his
life, who does not comprehend
its sacredness?
The book is the outgrowth of
more than thirty years partici
patton in military, educational,
and civil affairs. It is published
by the American Book Co., Chi.
cago. and may be procured by
any book seller. .~.,

Editor or the clarksburg TELEGRAM.
We always admire a young
man Of energy and talent when
he comes before the public ask
ing for a position for which be
is well fitted. And now that the
candidates for the Office Of Co.
Supt. are making their canvas,
we think that a few words of
commentator are due Mr.. Nor
ton B, Newton who is a candi-
date for the above named Office.
Mr.. Newton, aside from being a
graduate from one Of our leading
schools, has other qualifications
which peculiarly fit him for this
position. The fact that he has,
by his own efforts worked his
way through school, is sufficient
proof that he is a progressive
man and deserves public recogni-
ton. Being a man OF mature
age and having been actively en-
gagged in school work for ten
years, he makes no unreasonable
request when he asks for the
nomination to the office of County
Superintendent. -

Taking 1t for Granted.

1t is not wise to jump hastily to a
conclusion, but this reflection general
ly comes after one has jumped. A
man who was sitting at the dining
table in the long saloon of Mississippi
river steamboat, waiting for the fried
chicken he had ordered, suddenly took
small note book out of his pocket,
wrote something in it and showed it to
his wife sitting in the next seat. The
wife read it, smiled and he replaced the
note book in his pocket. On looking up
he was surprised to see that bald
headed man who sat on the other side
of the table, directly opposite, was re-
garding him with scowl. He was
still more surprised when this bald
headed passenger sought him on the
hurricane deck of the steamer an hour
later and said, in tone of Indignation:
II know what you were writing in that
pass book awhile ago. You were direct
ing that lady's attention to this right
eye of mine. want you to understand,
sir, that while it may look peculiar,
ii is not a glass eye, sir!" "My dear
SIR" replied the other, in astonishment
you never were more mistaken in your
life. That lady is my wife. She hap
pens to be deaf. l was asking her if
she didn't think the cook was waiting
for that spring chicken to grow a little
bigger before he killed it. Now that
l notice your eye, however, l can see
that it does look very much like glass
eye."-Youth's Companion.
