CITIZEN.

A citizen is a person born in the United States and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof.

We are living in a democratic government which is a priceless heritage
and a great blessing to mankind.

Democracy demands a sense of responsibility, personal interest in the
affairs of government and respect for human rights.

As citizens we must become more conscious and appreciative of the
inheritance our forefathers left us. This great inheritance is a
wonderful land of opportunity and freedom.

To be an intelligent and desirable citizen we must have a knowledge of
our Constitution, and know by whom and how our country is governed.

The man or woman who does not possess some knowledge of how the
country is governed--as has been said--may easily become a prey of
persons who are anxious to advance their own interests at the expense
of the people.

The things needed for the use and protection of the people are
provided by the people through their government.

As a part of the community you enjoy the good roads, streets, schools,
libraries and many other things; therefore, you have no right to shirk
your duty in not helping to maintain your government. If we enjoy the
good things in this life without doing our part to have them we are
cowards.

To live in a country and enjoy its freedom, peace and comforts and not
do our part toward maintaining such peace and comforts we have failed
to do our duty toward our fellowman and government, and may be called
a sponger, a coward and a shirker if we fail to vote and do our part
toward maintaining our government.

It is not only our duty to vote but we should study and understand
public questions so that we can vote intelligently on the issues of
the day. We should be interested in the ballot for it is one way in
which public opinion may be expressed.

Every man or woman under the protection of our government should feel
obligated to give his or her best to make our government one of high
ideals.
