MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS

school teachers conducted the classes by wards and townships, following an outline of instruc- ton that was the dream of Dr. R. J. Colbert of the University of Wisconsin for many years. Justice Rosenberry commented that there are today in the world literally millions of peo- pie who would give everything they possess for the privelege of calling themselves American cit zens. We who are born under the flag should be equally appreciat- i've"
 We have finally succeeded" Dr. Colbert sad, "in dramatiz- ing citizenship in such way that practically everybody is be- coming citizenship conscious. l feel that we have in our hands here an idea that can, if pro- perly handled, be developed into the most healthy movement that ever took root in our country"
 It might well be so. To be an American citizen is in today's world a privilege and mark of dignity. To approach the priv ileges and the responsibilities of that citizenship in a dignified and conscious manner instead of merely sliding into it unheeding should make for better citizen ship. And better citizenship is, in the final analysis, the best hope for this or any other country.
 No nation, no country, no sys- tenn, can rise far or stay long above the level of it's citizenship. This Wisconsin group has gone to the very heart of the future of free government.

COY Dancer Scores Hill
In Connino Shell Film

A little Mexican boy who dances
the rhumba-rhythm is sensational
material in the First Division re-
lease "She-Devil Island" coming
Wednesday to the Shell theater.
Seen only in the fiesta sequences,
he does a solo rhumba in Mexican
style that is one of the memorable
things in this picture produced by
Charles Kimball, which has prob
ably the most unusual theme ever
attempted in any screen produc-
ton.
"She-Devil Island" tells the story
of an island of wild virgins ruled
by a savage queen-who see men
for the first time. La Bamba,"
newest dance sensation to sweep
over the country, is introduced in
this film-but the dancing of the
little Mexican boy with a basket
atop his head and his hips undu-
lating as his feet move in intricate
dance patterns, still remains out
standing.
