As to values, let us teach intrinsic values, 

 not market values ; the latter are fluctua- 

 ting with time and place, the former are per- 

 manent. 



No scheme of American education is 

 complete without a careful study of the 

 duties and responsibilities of citizenship. 

 The tramp, like the political leech, assumes 

 that the world owes him a living ; the good 

 citizen knows that he owes it to the state to 

 earn his own living, to support his family 

 and to contribute his share to the neces- 

 sary expenses of the city, state and nation. 

 Hence the youth must learn how the city, 

 state and nation are respectively organized 

 and what their proper functions are ; and 

 when he is a man he must to the extent of 

 his ability see to it that those functions are 

 placed in the hands of public servants who 

 are both capable and honest. The corrupt- 

 ing influence of a politician who fosters 

 selfishness in his neighborhood, that he and 

 his neighbors may profit at the expense of 

 other neighborhoods, must be counteracted 

 by a generous education which shall culti- 

 vate a love of justice and plant the seeds of 

 manly and noble ideals. If democratic 

 governments are to survive, the whole 

 people must be educated to the highest 

 standards of citizenship, and the new edu- 

 cation must face and solve the problem of 

 securing those results.
