ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Art of CITIZENSHIP
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1913. by Frank craneJ

The difference between an art and a
science, as often has been pointed out, is
that n science may be learned from books
and by instruction while an art can be
mastered only thru practice.
There Is some attempt in our high schools
and colleges to teach the science Of govern
ment. As result this attempt is highly
Intellectual. IL is a hard, dry subject.
There are few. IL any, interesting textbooks
upon il, and the impression so prevalent
everywhere in this democratic world is not
absent from the school room-that politics
Is something removed from the concerns
Of ordinary self-respectng people; that it
is tinged with reproach and that it is fol-
lowed only by those who wish TO hold office
or secure graft.
The salvation of democracy depends abso-
lutey upon the salvation of politics. For
democracy is politics. Unless the body of
the people can become interested in politics,
their government surely gravitates into the
hands of the bosses and grafters
Instead of the science Of government
being taught in the higher grades Of our
educational institutions. the art Of citizen
ship should be taught in every grade~from
the kindergarten TO the university.
That is, children should have not only
information about the theory of self-govern-
ment but. far more than this. they need
practice in self-government.
There is no way TO attain this end except
to substitute democracy under instruction
for the ordinary monarcliical school govern
ment
The teaching world should get it into
their head that children are not sent to

A Beautiful Land

The Hartford Courant is impressed
with the prosperity of Florida. It
says:
The Florida newspapers and the
Florida farmers are already rejoic-
ing at their good fortune before the
farmers Of the north have begun to
plant, for these people in Florida
have already harvested a fine winter
crop. In the west the long suffering
and sun-baked farmer raises corn
and wheat which are shipped cast at
considerable expense, to the consum-
or. The Florida people find things
so arranged that they can not only
sell their products but their climate
as well and also persuade the con-
sumers to come to their doors at their
own expense and pay their board
while consuming the products and
enjoying the climate"
A recent issue Of the Tampa Tri
bune mentioned the shipment Of 401
carloads Of Florida fruit and vege
tables in one day. This was equa
to a solid train Of these products
three miles long and 1t was the ship
ment Of day that so far as we know
was not above the average Of tn
season. In addition to this tn
growers furnished these products
a million Floridians and nearly
million winter visitors. And yet ther
are some who say that in the produt
ton Of food Florida is not self-sus
; tanning.
Il We think it probable that the mo-
