Systematic Instruction In Best Meth
DDS Of Being Of Most Use to
ones Fellow Citizens
and State.

| That the American soldier shall
return from overseas with the de
sire to give his best effort to eff1.
cient citizenship. in the modern
sense OF the term, is the object OF
an undertaking which the Y. M. G. A
in France has just begun. A bureau
Of citizenship, it is called. 1t Is un,
der the direction of John A. Kings
bury, OF New York, and Is now IN
process of organization.
Through this bureau, according To
plans outlined by Mr.. Kingsbury in
a letter to the secretary Of the Keo-
kuk Y NJ G. A., the duties OF the
new citizenship which devolve upon
Uncle Sans fighting men upon their
return to this country will be ex'
planned by means of classes, lectures
and motion pictures.
The aim of the program is to In
tensify the interest of officers and
men OF the American e0peditionary
force in the fundamental social rela-
lions which underlie citizenship.
To BE The New Policeman.
The conception Of the policeman
under Mr.. Kngsbuy's plan is that
he would be q sort Of city father,
not only maintaining order and de-
tecting crime, regulating traffic, CIV
ing assistance and information to
passing citizens, but also exercising
sympathetic oversight Of child life
in the streets, doing probation work
for first offenders, parole work
among paroled prisoners, giving
friendly advice to the poor regarding
public and private institutions which
exist for their benefit, and assistance
and advice to the unemployed.
The five points In Mr.. Kingsbury's
| summary are: Respect for the opin'
ions and customs of other peoples;
freedom from expression of race
prejudice; kindness and courtesy
toward foreigners in our midst; ap
probation OF other people when trav'
cling or residing in foreign coun
tries, and abstaining from any crit

travelling or residing abroad.
