The RIGHT Method.

The Right Method.
"Sincc citizenship and government are matters
of action, well as of knowledge the method OF
teaching them must be the laboratory method by
which the pupil learns how TO do Il thing by doing
ii. I'm this respect citizenship is like swimming,
which must be learned by practice in swimming;
or carpentry, which must be learned 10y working
under the direction of carpenter Citizenship
must be learned by performing the right actions
of citizenship and 10y maintaining the right spirit
of citizenship, as we'll rs 10y learning acadcmcalIy
the facts of the subject.
"Thc first essential of a correct plan for teach
ing American citizenship is that ii shall be in nc
cord with the spirit of American institutions,
which Is expressed by the Golden Rule, in the
Declaration of independence and the Constitution
of the United States For instance, il must aS-
sure equal rights and justice to ALL and of
course, must not give special privileges or estah-
IiSh class distinctions, as i'm ancient Rome ana
Greece. strong traces of which still remain in our
own country.
"Thc second essential is that 50 far as the
school government is developed, IL shall hc rca-
souaby parallel with some correct form of Amcri-
can government among adults, and give no wrong
ideas 10 pupils, with the thought that they can be
easily corrected later. 1t ought TO follow, rs near
ly as practicable, the plan of keeping reasonably

that I'm which there three officers one at the
head of the legislative department, another of the
