The True Citizen published by Amerl-
can Book company is another of the
famous eclectic school readings. This
is a book that will prove IL valuable
ethical instrument in the hands of the
boys and girls Of the higher grammar
grades. Teachers generally appreciate
the necessity of cultivating the moral
powers or natural attributes of the mind,
and the idea OF ethics and civics going
hand in hand has been, to some extent
disregarded by the partisan spirit OF
the day. The influence of one with
great intellect will be for the general
good if there is gathered with know
ledge a firm and ideal character. Such
a book as the True Citizen, with its
teachings illustrated and made saccept-
able by interesting anecdotes, will add
an inmeasurable influence in forming
young ideals
