Good citizens art patriots. This to the question: Who IK a palriol, aud what la patriotism'' A child's time ago, presented a picture of aii old man shotting a boy a gun. Btr- neath the picture ttab Aritten: "'Teaching Patruitifiui." The blunder is obvi-juc. But too many teachere make ilu- same mistake. As a result, ig it any wonder that the average schoolboy idi-a of a patriot is a uniformed soldier and that iu his mind patriotism is associated with scenes of the uaiiU'licld? fespite the fact that during by far the greater part of our history have made no use of in national defense, the pernicious notion generally prevails that patriotism is somehow connected with the idea of bloodshed and killing.

There is something wrong i tlie teaching and the environment vthich is responsible lor the too common idea that patriots must be soldiers and that patriotism is shown only in deeds of daring performed on fields of carnage. A 3'ouug man once remarked that he wifehed he had been bom in time to have f-aken part in the Civil War. Poor, foolish dreamer! He failed to real-re that at no other period in the world's history was there such an opportuuity to do something realiy while for country and fur humanity as there is at the present time, should censure He was but the logical product of that false teaching which fails to disliuguish between the sham patriotism that is nothing more than empty spread eagle oratory which lays great stress upon our wealth and size and boasts of our ability to whip any other nation on earth; and the true patriotism which prompts to deeds of self-sacrifice, valor, and devotion to ideals, and finds strength in the moral worth of the peaceful, industrious, manly citizen. Bnt not all of this pernicious teaching cornea from the schools. The jingo be" ranting, air pounding Memorial Day or Fourth of July orator whose one ambition seems to be to excite the pride and passions of his hearers instead of arousing their intellects must bear a large part of the blame.

It is unfortunate that the elements of patriotism are not oftener taught in the nursery where so much might be dene by keeping a careful watch on garnts and toys. Tin soldiers, little swords, and guns may not create a lust, for carnage but they will turn the ghastly, terrible i of war into plav and spread a glamor over it. Years of careful teaching are necessary to correct the wrong impressions in the mind of the child who has come to think of killing as a necessary and normal vocation which in his mind becomes associated with gay uniforms and martial The child who is taught not to make unnecessary trouble, and to respect the rights of others is learning the first lessons in patriotism and they are lefcsons infinitely more consequence than lessons in courtly manners or on the difference between battleships and Early in the work of geography and history aud long before the study of civil government is begun the sense of devotion and service to others and to country may be strongly impressed upon the thoughtful child. Gratitude and a sense of dependence and relationship to others is the foundation of all teaching of patriotism and may easily accompany a development of the sense of special obligation to one's country. In dealing i the principles of our government we must teach, we have been taught by the great Fathers of the Republic, that equality before the law is the cardinal principle of that government.

We most inculcate in the youth a proper respect for authority not only authority home and of the school but authority of tlie government, and instill in them a love and patriotic adherence to its institutions. In telling the story of the great men be very careful that not too much time be spent v. ith the Grants and Shermans.

is in realitv, the making of good knowledge is as essential to the teacher as good motives and real inspiration. When the teacher fully realizes that, a knowledge not only of history and civics but of social and economic science, as well, is the foundation of the intelligence which is essential in the real teaching of true patriotism they will give those studies their earnest attention and their enthusiasm will inspire their pupils to form habits of impartial and uonpartisan study and investigation- It was Franklin expressed this noble sentiment: "Help me to be faithful to mv country, careful for its good, valiant for its defense and obedient to its laws." Teachers this is the plea which the youth ot the land vv ho are intrusted to your care are making to vou. The responsibility is great but von must meet it or admit defeat. The patriot loves his country, he loves its plains, its hills, its mountains: he loves its lakes, its rivers, and the ocean? which wash its shores. But more than all of these, he loves his fellow man, patriotism consists in serving our couii- trv faithfully and well in supporting government intelligently, obeying it? laws, and above all treating fellow citizens as we ourselves would like to be treated.
