By Selden Sturges,


Principal Everett Grammar school
WITHIN the past decade. more than
M ever before, has our attention
been directed to the necessity Of
a higher standard of citizenship. Dur
ing the three decades Immediately fol-
lowing the civil war our attention and
energies were SO largely engrossed in
the acquisition of wealth that the mat
ter of citizenship was in measure
overlooked until the conviction was
forced upon our most patriotic citizens
that the foundations of our govern
ment were being undermined and the
tap root of our social fabric was being
Slapped by the greed and dishonesty Of
designing and INSCRIPTIONS men, both
in public and private life.
Then came the conviction that il we
would perpetuate our form of govern
ment. which has. been at once our
pride and the admiration of the whole
civilized world, we must turn our at
tention and bend our energies to the
development of a higher standard of
citizenship. Our very strenuous and
popular former president. Theodore

The Horse That Asked for
Justice

Long, long ago there was good king
who wished to give justice to all in his
land So that any one, no matter how
humble, might know how to get hear
ing this good monarch lad bell put up
so that whoever was injured by another
might ring it. Then the king would as
semble- the wise men that justice might
be done. From long use the lower end
of the rope was worn away, and a piece
of wild vine was fastened on to
lengthen it. Those were simple days,
you sect was so long ago.
1t so happened that knight had a
noble horse which had served him long
and well, but which, because it had
grown old and useless had meanly and
cruelty been turned out on the common
to care for himself. Driven by hunger,
the horse began biting at the vine. The
bell rang out loud and clear; and 10, the
wise men assembled and finding that it
was a poor, half starved horse that was
sounding the call, and thus asking for
justice, though he knew it not, exam
ined his case and decreed that the
knight whom he had served in his
youth should feed and care for him in
his cid age.

Roosevelt, did more during his admins
tration than any other man to impress
upon the minds and hearts of the
American people the dangers that con-
front us and the absolute necessity of
a higher type of manhood. And
thoughtful people everywhere have
heartily agreed with him.
Now what are we as teachers doing
to make good American citizens of the
boys and girls who in a few years
must take the helm TO steer the ship
of state among the rocks and shoals
that beset its course?
Shall they be so educated that
strength, wisdom and patriotism shall
dwell with them and the old ship be
nayigated in safety on the troublous
seas, or shall they grow up under our
instruction to be so weak, foolish and
selfish that shipwreck will be our
fate?
If. then, we are to train for good
citizenship, we must know what good
citizen is. All will agree, 1 think, that
a good citizen is one who, in a spirit
of true patriotism performs intelli-
gently and unselfshly his various civic
duties, putting citizenship above par
tisanship. and if need be sacrificing his
personal interests for the welfare of
the community.
The only possible justification for
the support by the state of a system
of public instruction is that the per-
petuation of the state. e., of the state
in our sense of the word-demands that
its citizens be of sufficient intelligence
to grasp the problems continually aris-
ing for solution by the state, and of
such character as will not be satisfied
with anything but right solution
of those problems. The solution of
problems by the state simply means the
enactment and enforcement of such
of the difficulties presented by the
problems; in other words, it involves
the making of righteous laws
Righteous laws are made only bv
men who love righteousness and hate
iniquity-by men who are patriotic
enough to sink self, if necessary. for
the good of the community. 1t is said
that the men selected by a people to
enact and execute their laws are fair
representatives of the people who
choose them. Hence if we are to have
righteous laws faithfully executed we
must have a constituency who will
tolerate in office only men who are
known for their high character and
is, a constituency of
the same kind.
Then there is the problem of our
school system, and what are We doing
to develop in our pupils this standard
of citizenship? Are we making this the
prime object of all our instruction?
Or do we ever think Of 1t at an?

Curious Adventure of a Baby
Boy

A person who lived some years in
South Africa tells the following story:
The infant son of one of the Dutch
settlers had strayed away. After some
time a search party discovered little
footprints leading in the direction OF
the bush. Following up these, they
came upon a large open space, at the
farther side of which they discovered
the object of their search sitting hug
ging a little wooden doll and munching
a piece of bread and butter.
Before they could make their way
through the thick. tangled under
growth a large lion sprang into the
clearing. The little boy. far from be-
ing frightened. ran to meet the lion,
holding up his bread and butter, and
said: Take a bite. deggie." The
father stood poWerless to move or
speak through fear, expecting each in
slant to see the child crushed under
the lions paw; but. instead of doing
as he dreaded, the Hon turned himself
over and lay on his back at the chiId's
feet, looking up in his face as a cat
would do at play.
Watching his opportunity the father
raised his gun and fred, hitting the
lion in the leg. The animal spraney m
and. leaving the child. rushed on the
party. injuring two OF the number be-
fore IL was finally killed. From this
circumstance the child was immediately
christened by the settlers Daniel"

Much amused. the young king carried

The artist was greatly embarrassed
