McCready writes an inter- esting chapter on this subject in "The School and Country Life." There are thirty-nine chapters in the 'book. It would be a most desirable volume to place in a school library. "The Cloverdale 8chool Learns How to Identify a Good Citizen." We always enjoy a visit from Mr. O'Brien, our county inspector. He never fails to stir us to thinking about school subjects in a new way. Once he changed our arithmetic lesson into a measuring lesson and started us in making all sorts of problems for our- selves. Another day a geography lesson became an interesting trip about our own school and we learned that scores of places and hundreds of people helped to furnish us with our school and its equipment. The last time he visited us we had an interesting discussion on ecitizen- ship, though he did not mention the name of the subject when he com- menced. The first question was, "Why do you think you are at school?" Everybody smiled. That seemed a simple ques- tion. All hands were up for an answer. Arthur Keene said it was to learn. Mary Dulmage said it was to be educated. Helen Norris thought it was so that we might be able to take a good position when we grew up. Angus MeNeill considered that it was to make us useful in life. The rest of us agreed with one or other of these opinions. These answers did not seem to satisfy Mr. O'Brien though. So he put the question in another way. He said "Why is it that throughout all our land--and in every other civilized 'country as well--there are schools to \ 4 eg tario County Educational Association Tm Schools and Good Citizens reputation of the class. Tom stood up with his eyes sparkling. He said, "Mr. O'Brien, I believe I see the big idea behind schools." Mr. O'Brien said, "I believe, too, that you do, Tom. Tell us." Tom said, "Schools are for the pur- pose of making good citizens." "Right you are, Tom," said Mr. O'Brien. "If a boy or girl leaves any school and is not a good citizen, the school has failed just to that extent." Well this was a new way of looking at our school! And it was no less a new way of looking at our school work! Our school and all the things we do there are part of a great plan, Our little. school is not unimportant. It has its part to play. This was a great discovery to make in one morning but Mr. O'Brien's questioning was not ended. His next question was "Well! You are all agreed with Tom that our schools are to train us for good citizenship. Now tell me, who is a good citizen? How can you revognize a good citizen?" More thinking to do! Mr. O'Brien's questions certainly make us think! This question brought forth more replies than the question about the meaning of schools. Nearly every one in the school had at least one suggestion to offer. Helen thought good citizens did not steal. Ned Lewis said a good citizen was loyal to his country. Andrew Blair considered that good citizens did not lie or cheat. Amy Blair, Andrew's little sister, said that a good citizen was kind. Angus considered that a good citizen should be intelligent. Florence Richards thought cleanliness was necessary. Dorothy Stainger believed one should be industrious. We did not complete the discussion with Mr. O'Brien. There seemed to bé too much in the topic for one day. He suggested that we think the sub- ject over further, discuss it with our folks at home and then have another lesson on it with our teacher, Miss' | Reg. Cooper, attended the anniversary Mrs. E.

Afterwards, that we should sum up our definitions of a good citizen and display it on the black- board. He began with a question and he closed with one. His last question was "Of all the characteristics required of a good citizen which in your opinion stands first in importance 1" There was some difference of opinion at first but finally the school agreed that Honesty was the most important--just common honesty. And here is the definition that we afterwards worked out with Miss Nobel's help. It was on the black- board when Mr. O'Brien visited us the next term. He was greatly pleased with it. Who is a Good Citizen? By what characters can a Good Citizen be known? I. HONESTY. He does not He, does not cheat, does not steal, does not deceive. He is straight-forward and square dealing. II. LOYALTY. He is obedient to the law, --of the home, of the school, of the community, and of his country. He will die for his country, if need be, and he will also live for it. III. KINDNESS. He is a good neighbour. He observed the Golden Rule. He is helpful, unselfish, and generous. Love rules in his heart. IV. INTELLIGENCE. He is not ignorant. He uses his opportunities for increasing his knowledge and im- proving his powers of thought. 2 V. HEALTH. He is a wholesome (i.e., a healthsome) person. He keeps his body clean, and he is obedient to the laws of health. He keeps his mind and heart clean too. VI. INDUSTRY. He is not a loafer. He is a busy person. He finds useful things to do and enjoys doing them, VII. THRIFT. He is not a spend- thrift. He saves for a rainy day. He desires to be independent in his old age. These are the seven points of good at the Cloverdale School. I think every one in our school has a pretty clear idea who is entitled to be callel think we are all trying to live a citizenship as we worked them omt =
