Here he should strive to get a good education, for as Diogenes says. The foundation of every | state is the the education of it's youth.'
 After a child has grown up and has become a man of voting age. his duty | is to vote for persons who will act for i the best good of the town. It is his 1 duty to split tickets if he sees that the | candidate of the opposite party is the i better man. Whenever the officers of tht town need help he should never fail tC i give the required aid.
 A citizen shogld appreciate the road! | and bridges which the state builds fol | his use. He should help in sending gooC men to the legislature to make thu laws If good men are in the legis lature they will make laws which VI | will obey gladly.
