SEPTEMBER 14, 1939 By vitue of .a law passed by the last, session cf the Mlinois legisiature, Governor. Borner is nstructed- to designate annuaily by proclamation a Sunday, in October -as ".Citizenshîp 'Day." It is to be. observed ini each communty by ceremonies inducting into ful citizenship ail persons reachmg age 21 durmng the past year. In ýsuch cere- mones fihe duties and responsibilities at- tached te fthe rights and privileges of cit- izenship are te be emphasized. At Manitowoc, .Wis., l.Ugy, a notable ceremony was conducted under supervision of Prof. Roy. F. Colbert cf the University of Wisconsin, in which more than 700 young men and women were inducted into citizenship. This year the movement has been extended te every county in that state. Five months' intensive training in citizen- ship is required of the "candidates.". Governor Horner is expected te designate proxinxîty, the New Trier villages might well cooperate ini a township demonstra- tion. Thxe Wlmette 'amphitheatre would pro- vide an admirable setting for such a patri- otic ceremony.

Probably few parents wildisagree, yet many are concerned wfth fixe problem cof how to tel fixe truth te a child. "But no matter how diplomnaticafly and taoUuUly ifrmation is pareeato - the youngster, it is true that, as Oliver Wendel Holmes once asserted, 'truth is tough.' George Eliot put it even more dramatical- ly, saymng that it 'has rough flavors if we bite it' through.' Consequenily fixe father or mother who decides to teil the youngster fixe truth chooses a troublesome--not a dainty-job. There may be a specific time and place for some things, but trutix recog- nizes ne stop. signs no 'do not disturb' some domestic laboratory, and it'la seldom impersonal. Parson Jones' mannerisms and Aunt Lydia's hats may start inquiries shocking te conventional parents yet prompted by the most scientific attitude., "But. here's the trouble witlx trutix: Long ago it severed ail diplomatic relations with white lies and terminological inexactitudes, with prejudices and propagandas.
