THE “THREE C’S.” When our forefathers attended school, they formally spoke of the three “R’s”—reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. They comprised the school’s curriculum. But in these modern days we need something more advanced, as the three “C’s”—character, culture and citizenship. Like a thermometer, each day our character rises or falls. One’s character commences in early childhood. Therefore parents should consider the child associates and all his reading material. Parents are like a compass, always guiding us in the right direction. Culture is just a synonym for refinement. It does not necessarily mean a college education. People who are kind-hearted, unselfish and have lofty ideas are cultured. A person could have all the wealth in the world and yet not be refined or cultured. If you had a chance to select your type, would you choose culture or wealth ? Our country needs good citizens. Where do they come from—the slums? America is trying to educate her young. Youth that will be good citizens and of use to her some day. In some cities High School students are taught to be better citizens through an organization called “Junior Citizenship.” The pupils are for one day instructed and put into the shoes of their elders holding city offices. They see how the city is governed and help to make the city government better through their knowledge. Then when they become of age they know something about local government from actual experience. Everyone can be a good citizen. Our country needs leaders—some one who is not afraid to do something beneficial. We are born citizens. Are you doing your part? —Thelma Ward.

4 March, Nineteen Twenty-Nine AN OLI) SUBJECT RE HASHED. Perhaps you have a friend whom you love very dearly. You are in his company quite often and you are considerate of him to the extent that you are not rude. But, too often, that is as far as our friendship, from outward manifestations, goes. You overlook chances to perform the little kindnesses, which the poet says, make up the sum of life. You admire him for qualities and accomplishments. Don’t be afraid to tell him so and to give him a word of praise in his moment. It is well to store up these little kindnesses, both given and received, against a time when their memory will be a source of comfort and pleasure in an otherwise weary and sordid existence. Too often people neglect to praise and encourage a friend or to let him know how they love him until after he is dead. It does him little good then. Perhaps a word or a more manifest friendliness on your part would have urged him on to some greater thing. At least, it would have made your life and his happier and this earth a wee bit better place to live in. If you have a friend you love or a person you admire tell him so. If he is the right kind of friend he will appreciate and strive to live up to your friendship. HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN. Sammy Jones was eight years old, and in the third grade. He had three pairs of shoes. One pair was red, one green and the last old and nearly worn out. He was invited to a birthday party at his friend’s house and he couldn’t decide which pair of shoes to wear. His brother said he should wear his red ones because if he wore his green ones he would be called a greenhorn. His sister said he should wear his green ones because they would match his suit and not show dirt so much. Sammy became so worried over the matter that he wore his old worn out ones and as a result was ashamed of his shoes at the party. Now don’t anyone be like Sammy. Have a mind of your own and use it. Listen to advice but think it over before you do anything you will be sorry about afterwards. If you let people influence you on small matters perhaps some time later you will be influenced on a more important matter and be led into wrong. You are given a mind and are expected to use it, so do it. —M. Martin.
