A
TEACHING URGED

That the youth of Nevada should
be better acquainted with the State
and that children should be taught
to take an active part In the affairs at
home was the advice to students at
the University Of Nevada Summer
school by c. s. knight, managing di-
rector Of the Reno Chamber of Com
merce, in a recent address.
There Is a strong tendency, he said.
to look outside the State border for a
life work, while better opportunities
are offered at home in practically all
lines of endeavor. No one from the
outside can render as effective SER
vice as local people acquainted with
local conditions, he explained. In
creating more interest at home the
teachers would build stronger Ameri-
can citizens who would take interest
in civic problems and a higher stand
ard Of living.
