ments Of community welfare for

miliarize the pupil with the manipu-
lation Of the social machinery without
showing him the importance Of the
social ends for which this machin-
cry exists. A lesson IN community
civics is not complete unless it leaves
with the pupil sense of his re-
sponsihility, and results in right ac-
ton. To attain these ends is per-
haps the most difficult and delicate
task Of the teacher"
Much civic instruction" declares
the bulletin, .has been ineffective be-
cause 1t has left the pupil to work
out for himself the application of
general principles Tho translation
of principles into conduct is more
difficult than the comprehension of the
principles themselves. While we
urge that the citizen should engage
in these activities as far as opportun-
ity offers, it is necessary to cultivate
q motive sufficiently strong to lead
him actually TO do so. This motive
is to be found IN the common interest
which Includes his interest, at least
until such time as an ideal altruism
may lead to the placing of the inter-
est Of others and of the community
above the interest Of self"

MR.. sHACKELFoRD SUGGESTS
AUDIT BY STATE AUDITOR

Pensacola, Sept 8, 1915.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Dear Sir: Believing that you are
animated by the best Of motives in
your frequent editorials and news
items regarding city affairs, and that
you are anxious that a satisfactory
solution of the question be attained,
7 would suggest that the charter un-
der which we are working, makes
ample provision for a thorough in
vestigation of the city's affairs.
Section 10 Of the charter provides
that fifty or more citizens can petit
ton the governor to have an audit of
the city's affairs made by the state
auditor.
To have this matter settled defin-
ately and speedily, / will be one of
| the fifty to make this request Of the
governor.
Your for good government,
CADE g. SHACKELFORD.

LONDON HEARS NOTHING
OFFICIALLY ABOUT PEACE.

London, Sept. SIN high official
circles here it is learned authorita-
lively that recent rumors of peace
have no foundation in any step taken
by the British government or in any
statement issued here from author
itative sources.
No member of the government
would allow himself to be quoted in
discussion of the peace rumors which
have recently gained wide circula-
ton.
The Associated Press, however, au-
thorized to make public the foregoing
explicit denial.

Community civics

Community civics helps the child
TO know the meaning Of his communi-
ty Life, not merely lot of facts about

u. s. Bureau of Education. This bull
letin was prepared by four members
Of the committee on social studies Of
The National Education Association
DR.. }. Lynn Barnard, School Of Peda-
gogy. Philadelphia; F. W. Carrier,
principal Of Wilmington, (Mass)
hight schools Arthur W. Dunn, spec
iaHst IN civic education, U. s. Bureau
Of'Education; and Clarence d. Kings
ley Of the Massachusetts, board of
education.
'sThe Significance Of the term com
Irnu1ity civics' does not lie in its
geographical Implications" says the
bulletin, ''but applies this point of
view TO the national community as
wen. Emphasis is laid upon the local
community because it is the one with
which every child-citizen has most
intimate relations, and for that reason
it is easier for him to enter into ac-
tual cooperation with it"
The authors Of the bulletin make
IL clear that the term citizenship"
is used broadly. The 'good citizen"
they say, ''is person who habitually
conducts himself with proper regard
for the welfare Of the community of
which he is member and is active
and intelligent in his cooperation
with his fellow members to that end.o
Community civics, according to the
bulletin, should be taught in the ele-
mentary grades of the public schools
and should be continued in more
comprehensive course in the first year
Of the high school. "Many pupils do
not enter high school at all, and those
who do should already have begun to
acquire habits Of civic thought and
action. The greater maturity of the
high school pupil makes possible de-
velopment Of phases of the subject
that are impractieable in the elemen-
tary school"
Many courses in civics fail" the
authors think, because they fix at
tentiOn upon the machinery Of gov
