CHILD TRAINING
Preparing Our Children for Citizenship.

Preparing Our Children for Citizenship.
 By Alice Wingate Frary.
 Our children are given regular instruc- tion in citizenship in school but the best that can be done for them there will not alone give them the urge toward helpful service in the community that they might have with the thoughtful cooperation of their parents. The talks, songs and page ants of school have served to widen their vision and strengthen their grasp of the dramatic events of the past Fathers and mothers can help them to express their appreciation of the time and country in which they live in terms of everyday ser- vice. To teach them that they have an important part in keeping a happy, we'll ordNred home and that the atmoshpeher of a community is the atmosphere of it's homes is to lay foundation for substan- tial citizenship later. To adr to this a sense of responsibility toward a Younger child in ones own family or a friend s. or toward animal pets. is at least to start the habit of considering the interests of others. Just to keen emphasizing these two points day after day so that they become a part Of the eht lren's lives is no small task in Itself.
 Howevec eager young person may be to serve his community, his impulse will be dissi9ated or accomplish harm rather than gcca unless his efforts are intelli- gent.

What to you think P cried the beau ty of the family excitedly the minute she got inside the house T met Roxy Black CT right out there in the street and her mother has inh.rited bilIions of dollars from an uncle in Englandi wouldn't you know thai would happen to Roxy, who is so coneeited and unbearable any way? And they are going right to E,u- rope and everything!"
 Well, if they are touring abroad they'll be just common, ordinary people worrying over how they are going to pay next months rent when they get back, prophesied her father. A man goes in one door of a hotel in Europe these days a millionaire and when he comes out he looks like rag picker and takes side street. We'll, we'll! So the Biackers have got wad of money. have they? ?''
 They're just the sort to make an aw- ful vulgar Splurge," declared the every day-looking daughter who specialized in sarcasm to attract attention to herself. My goodness, but the things they'll buy! It's pity some family with sense couldn't have inherited wealth!'
 Sudden wealth always makes ordi- nary folks run wild" added the lady of the house. Those Blackers have no bal ance whatevsri Mrs Blaeker is terribly ordinary and a climber and 1t makes me shudder to think of the lengths she will go now to get In with the right peo- plel She will try to marry Roxy to a count or something like that--you seei'

 We require from buildings as from men,, writes Ruskin in Stones of Venice, two kinds of goodness; first, the doing of their practical duty well, then that they be graceful and pleasing in do- ing it" This is one secret of acceptable service, that the doer shall find joy in l1is work rather than seek all his pleasure as a thing apart. This we can emphasize tc our s~<4le citizens, showing tf1tm as con slstently as possible that We do find joy l in duties.
