Merely Burdenng Overrpe
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP
Discussed by Prof. r. /. Smith Before

religious toleratlOn he asserted to be
the pillars of the past in the efIiu ent
building of American cit zenship.
These are the fundamentals whose har
monious funct oning underies cur ma
tional fe Of today. To be sure many
complexities have arisen but at tho
same time the main issues are none
the less apparent
Since one cannct do everything him

consoIentiously chosen. If we are to
train worthy leaders and citizens cap

every nd ydual in q community.
Equal industrial opportunities Is
problem not yet solved which in Prof.
Smiths opinion should claim the at

The proper disposition Of the leis-
ure time, the amusements CT our young
people can and ought to be more iu-

Since citizenship means the exer-
else Of those rights and privileges
which enable human beings t9 be of
the utmost service TO themselves and

need for a truer spiritual attitude not
only toward fellow man but toward
God himself, a keener, finer sense Of
honor truth and purity.
