CIVIC VIRTUE
IN THE SCHOOLS
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

getic men, whom the people will de
light to honor, and whose white uni
! forms will typify the new era o.
cleanliness and order?
Colonel Waring found the help of
the children and youth of New York
an immense factor in his enterprise,
and it is along the lines laid out by
him that the work in the Morristown
schools is planned. The following pur-
pose and pledge are to be framed and
hung in the class room of each grade :
PURPOSE.
The purpose of this league is to Gull
tivate a spirit of civic pride and re-
sponsibility among the boys and girls,
and secure their cooperation in the
effort to beautify our city and pro-
mote clean and sanitary condition
in the streets.
PLEDGE
We, the junior citizens of Morris
town desire for our city name beyond
reproach in all particulars. We there
fore pledge ourselves to keep our
streets and Fairgrounds and school
yards clean. and to influence Others to
do so. We promise to- abstain from
throwing banana skins, orange peel,
nut shells, paper and refuse of all
kinds into the streets. and will de-
posit them instead into the rubbish
cans provided for purpose, and we
further promise OF to deface or in
jure any public or private property.
La order to assist in protecting the
health of our people, we promise not
to expectorate into the streets or
other public places, and will use our
best endeavors to prevent others from
SO doing. Should we discover any vio-
lation of these rules, or any of the
laws of good citizenship we will report
them to the proper authorities for
correction.
Signature blanks are to be attached,
and the pupils asked to subscribe to
the sentiments of the pledge. A small
membership fee may be asked and
these acts will constitute them men,
bers of the Junior Citizens League of
Morristown and each member will be
rewarded by the gift of a league but
ton to be worn as badge. AS child
rem, like those of larger growth are
not SO likely to weary in well-doing if
they can point to results accomplished,
they are to be encouraged to watch for
any violation of the street cleaning re-
quirementS, such as sweeping rubbish
into the gutter, or leaving a pile Of
ashes on the sidewalks and kindred
misdemeanOrs, and resolve themselves
into complaint committee reporting
the matter to their teachers, who will
cooperate with them in writing a
class letter of protest to the proper
authorities, insisting upon correction.
The interest of children is also stimu-
lated if they can sing about their
deeds, and series OF songs is being ar
ranged intended to cultivate spirit
of pride in their home town, and an
appreciation of the clean and the
beautiful. These songs, of course
make no pretentions to literary or
musical merit, but they are an aid-to
youthful endeaYor and create a fra
tnrnal cnirit in tho cama wav that the
so-called college songs goften of sheer
nonsense) foster the spirit Of brother

Quickly to those barrels stealing.

Look whene'er you drop paper,

Let's not have this fact escape us,
Neighbor mine.
And if you will lend hand,
Soon our city dear shall stand

Other songs are being arranged and
will appear in these columns from
time to time. One is being composed
with original words and music which
will be the young peoples very own.
1t is TO be hoped and expected that
the citizens OF Morristown will also
appropriate these songs, encouraging
the children to sing them and joining
with them when occasion offers. A
league "yelln will round up these
songs in true college style. 1t is told
