TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as We dislike to admit II, there
still exists 4 distinct apathy toward
the war on the part Of a great many
people In various parts of the country.
The reason for this Is even deeper than
constitutional paciasm or pro-Ger-
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact ID,
although We did not realize It until
recently, the average citizen Of this
country has not had instilled In him
real responsibility In and to his gov.
ernment. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-political nature Of our form
of government has resulted In the al.
most total disappearance Of the appre'
citation by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing Of this condition 10
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today. outside
Of winning the war. It involves com.
plete readjustment and revitalizing Of
our methods of civic instruction. This
work must start In the schools of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in.
struction in political economy, and
even the influence of the discussion Of
these matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority Of boys
who later make up the citizenry Of the
ma ton leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League. or
ganized at the start Of the war as q

ing Its entire efforts to the awakening
Of the people to q realization of the
meanings of the war and the menace
Of defeat, has undertaken a nation.
wide campaign on this question Of true
citizenship which Is worthy Of atten.

country of a corps Of professors who
are to constitute "National Patriotic

Allied commanders, there is not

size Of the army vary from two
to three million. The allies need
such an army there.
Itgives one a very comfOrta'
ble feeling::to read these figures.
Despite the commonly alleged in
ability of any one to comprehend
what a million of anything is,
the resultant glow produced al
