Americanism
By Gertrude Whittet

" ND4s@ AI1t100Cs w AAtSCb zA
Americanism and love of coun-
try go hand in hand, and is instill-
ed into the heart and mind of
every child throughout the home,
the school and the church.
In the true American home the
parents, unconsciously instiH pat
riotism into the hearts of their
children. They do this by teach
ing the children obedience, SO they
will later obey the laws of their
country. Then they teach them to
take part in affairs of the home
and help to keep it neat and clean.
They also set a good example for
their children by voting and taking
part in other civic duties, so that
the children will learn to take
their part in the worlds affairs.
The church holds Christ as our
model and teaches His Command
ments. A good Christian is good
citizen.
At school we have teachers with
the highest ideals of Americanism.
They teach us about the patrol
rules, and to obey the rules of the
school. They also have citizenship
clubs which teach US to take our
part in affairs at school, and they
have Boy and Girl Scouts, which
help US solve some of the greater
more difficult problems.
Many people from other coun-
tries are glad to belong to coun-
try like ours with such high ideals,
and by our laws have become nat
uralized and have sworn their al
legiance to the United States. AM
erica, the Melting Pot'' of the
world, has many citizens of many
nationalities, ready to defend their
country in time of need.
