CITIZENSHIP TO Be
SCHOOL SUBJECT
CHARACTER EDUCATION WILL
ALSO HAVE PLACE IN SCHOOLS,
EDUCATOR STATES.

Westinghouse P.)-The recent
action of the American Bar associa-
ton in promoting an active campaign
for law to compel the teaching of
citizenship in the public schools of
the land has received widespread
comment There might even seem to
be an implication that educators have
not been looking after this very i'm
portant phase of school work, but
such is not the case, declares the
Character Education association, of
this city.
Research on the problems of edu-
cation for citizenship has been car
ried on by educators for several
years, and at the forthcoming world
conference on education, to be held
in San Francisco next June, when
delegates from all parts of the world
will meet, this subject will be dis
cussed, it was said.
There is, however" declares the
associations statement, larger
movement going forward than merely
the teaching of citizenship. This is
character education which has as
its fundamental purpose the cultiva-
ton Of the disposition and purpose
to act right as citizens, and not
merely or chiefly a knowledge of the
constitution and the principles Of
government. Statistics show that
half of the notorious criminals and
citizenship perverts of the nation are
well informed regarding the United
States constitution and the laws of
the states. These people take adj
vantage of their legal knowledge to
cOntrive ways and means of break
ing the laws of the land without sub
jecting themselves to the danger of
suffering the penalties of their crimes.
The educators of America realize
that character forming should be one
of the principal aims of our schools
Inculcate in the child the will to do
right and act right, and he will grow
up to be a worthy citizen. Ignore
the moral side and there is always
the possibility that the more know !
ledge person receives, whether it
be in citizenship or anything else, the /
greater criminal will he turn out to
be eventually if the will to wrong do
ing is present. Many a defaulting
bank president would be only !
second-story worker but for an edu-
cation that has neglected the moral |

ton was organized to give impetus to
the movement for character training.
