CITIZENSHIP
A farmer of my acquaintance
has a knife he wouldn’t sell for
a ransom, although he is not
wealthy. The knife is of a kind
that could be manufactured in
quantity to retail for less than
two dollars. The farmer’s sol
dier son took it from a Jap in a
hand-to-hand fight but wounds
he himself received left the boy
maimed for life. The father
prizes the trophy for its cost not
its worth.
One of the strangest quirks of
human nature is the hook-up be
tween cost and value. People so
often appreciate things accord
ing to what they cost instead of
according to what they are

worth. A man who falls heir to
a fortune without effort is much
more liable to squander it than
his neighbor who may have ac
quired a similar amount the
hard way; his wealth cost him
too little.
A THING
OF VALUE
It’s like American citizenship,
a thing of great value that costs
too little. The fee exacted from
an immigrant when he “take out
his papers” is not a drop in the
sea compared to what he gets
Moreover, the vast majority of
Americans acquired citizenship
rights with their first conscious
breath. We grew up with citizen
ship. We have always had it and
consequently don’t appreciate it
properly.
You may have read stories of
how British citizenship, about the
time America was being colon
ized, was keenly coveted by no
ble Huguenots who fled France
as refugees. Almost everybody
in Christendom is familiar with
New Testament accounts of how !
Saul of Tarsus’ life was spared
more than once because he, al- i
though an Israelite, was bom a
privileged citizen of Rome. . j
AN EXPENSIVE MAN
Roman citizenship in Bible
times could be bought and it cost
a great price. It had great value,
too, but it wasn't nearly as much
as our American citizenship, that
costs so little. I think everybody
in the United States ought to be
: educated for citizenship. Not
many are, natives or naturalized.
; Not everybody needs a college
degree but everybody needs to
appreciate his freedom.
! Americans were conscious of
i their citizenship for a long time
I back of a century ago. Govem
[ ment held the spotlight of youth’s
attention. In the last hundred
years, however, invention has in
trigued the interest of more and
more American boys. Unfortun
j ately a keen interest in some
i thing spells relative indifference
to something else, and engineer
ing has hid government in al
most total eclipse.
HISTORY'S VERY HEART
John Tyler was President a
century ago. In ,1844 Louisa M.
Alcott was ten, enjoying the mild
childhood she so beautifully pre
i served in print. But wait . . . the
i people were agog at the world’s
[first telegraph line one ticker in
Washington, and another in Bal
I timore. Little boys were eagerly
j flattening their noses against
j window panes to see that new in
vention, a bicycle pass by.
«
These five generations of high,
scientific achievement are not to
be despised. In them our wage
levels and national income have
made America the envy of a mer
j cenary world. But the founda
tion for all this was laid between
Washington’s day and Tyler’s.
The science of self-government
must regain its rightful place in
the field of learning if we are to
hold up our living standards.
Americans must better appreciate
the rights and privileges of cit
izenship.
The total annual growth of
forests in the United States is
about nine billion cubic feet.

HOW COME?
The Marine captain’s son was ‘
attending Sunday school. The
Sunday school lesson concerned
the crucifixtion of Christ. In ab
solute amazement and horror the
child listened without a word to
the entire lesson. At the conclu
sion he demanded:
“Where in hell were the Ma
rines?”

S. lake has an area of 22,400
