UNCLE SAM'S BUSINESS
The Great War, which we hope
will soon be brought to a close, will
leave all Europe in a pitiable condi
tion. Our own great a 11 d peaceful
nation will undoubtedly l e flooded
with m my foreigners seeking
homes lately brushed away;
and seeking peace that our shores
afford, but what are we to do with
the in rush? The adults are Europe
ans by birth and envimoment and
love.
Eove of fatherland is hard to dis
miss, if not quite impossible; theic
fore with the children Uncle Sam
should deal in order that “AMERI
CAN CITIZKNSof thegeaui e type
may be transformed from the Loys
and girls of the emigrants. The
first step it seems to us is that they
be brought in touch with o u r Pub
lie Schools, and the second step that
in said Public Schools the laboratory
method of teaching real citi e: ship
should be introduced and so present
ed to the children that a real love
for “Our 0*vn Great Nation’’ will
naturally arise. No person can 1 e
forced to love another person; neither
can a child or adult l>e compelled to
love this or any other nation, hut a
love may be won by the winning
graces of another, and if an interest
ing methodof teaching citizenship he
introduced into every public school of
our land, in an interesting and winn
ing way,then citizens will be the out
come of the army of children cast
upon our hospitable shores.
In the hinds of the officials and the
teahers of the Public School System
of this mighty nation,this task of
foundation work rests.
