time and is not even now wholly be-
yond the reach of our recollection
when it seemed breach Of dignity for
a writer to call anything by its right
name. The concrete thing must be re-
lleved Of Its vulgarlty by the mask
of a phrase. The horse was 'the fleet
cOurser," and all fruits were indiscrim-

processes of abstraction and generaliza-

graphs Of the images themselves. Ma

4 Bows Rules of Citizenship.

An Italian boy of l3 has written an
essay on citizenship for the City History
club of New York. 1t is made up of
ideas gathered from association with the
club, which is an organization related to
settlement work. These are few of
the principles set forth by the little
Italian:
If | want to be a good citizen | must be
true to my country, true to my State and
true to my city.
If ! do not vote | will not be doing my
duty. must have my own judgment to vote
for the man think is best qualified for the
office which he has been nominated for. If
| don't won't be doing my duty. ! must
not let anybody bribe me to vote for a man
| think not fitted for an office
1t will also be my duty to be industrious
and self-SuppOrting. so as not to be burden
and a nuisance to the public.
must pay taxes. so that the government
can be maintained and the officers of the
government paid, because the government is
for my good.
When it is necessary ] must help to main
tain order and always he ready for public
service, and in case of war serve my country
| should know the history of my country
and be an intelligent reader and a close
observer of current events.
There are good many full-sized
Americans who have not grown up to
this platform of individual citizenship
