AS a new school year gets un-
der way. it is interesting to no.
tice that the United States had
its official beginning in the
month of September, too. Last
Monday, Sept. 18th, marked the
one hundred and seventy-fifth
anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution; and it was
designated by proclamation of
| the President as Citizenship
Day. This entire week is known
as Constitution week.
The purpose of Citizenship
Day is two-fold: to commemor-
ate the adoption of the Consti-
tuition, and to honor all new
citizens and those who have be-
come of voting age during the
year.
The next day was Registra-
ion Day, as you know; and both
# these serve to remind US of
he approach of the November
elections. and the duties OF all
-itizens of the appropriate age
% exercise their franchise.
In response to a request from
The Superintendent Of Schools,
the schools of East Cleveland
marked the arrival of Citizen
ship Day and Constitution Week
with appropriate activities. Two
examples Of these activities
| follow.

To the children's pride in
heir country is added a remind
er Of what they owe to it. +
among which obligations are the
rules of good citizenship.
Indeed. Rozellians are re-
minded. the opening weeks of
school furnish in themselves
some excellent lessons IN the
responsibilities of being good
citiZen.
For it is during this period
that Student Council members
are elected. rules for the run
ming Of school affairs are COM
niled. organizations such as the
Traffic Patrol are set up, and
the children are reminded of the
standards Of good conduct which
they are asked to follow. What
better time is there to teach,
and learn. the attitudes and ac-
tions that go into the making
