Devised for Sunday School Children
by italian Socialists.
The city of Reggie Emilia, whose
administration has passed into the
control of Socialists, has adopted the
following ten commandments for
school children to memorize:
Love thy schoolmates, for they
will be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge. the bread of in.
tellect. Cherish the same gratitude
toward thy teachers as toward thy
father and mother.
Make every day thou Invest the
occasion for some good and beneficial
deed; always SOW the seeds of kind.
ness.
Honor good men and true women,
esteem all men as equals, bend thy
knee to no one.
DO not bear hatred to anybody;
don't insult people. The word re-
venge shall not be in thy vocabulary,
but stand up for thy rights and resist
oppression.
Don't be a coward; stand by the
weak and respect and love justice.
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products Of labor.
Whoever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent of their
just dues.
Exercise thy mind; observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth of
all things. Believe in nothing mys.
ferrous, in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself OF
others.
DO not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war. War is relic of barbarism.
Let it be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men, as fire,
citizens of free state. live in peace
and happiness, in true brotherhood"
