They have come to us. The local community must now be improved to sustain the democ ragy.” “Phe nation is the product of local communities,” she said, and we ‘must grow from the center of the circumference.” Describes Task Miss Mims said the task includes huilding the land, impressions of good citizenship from the mother’s lap, cooperative production of farm crops, a live-at-home program, public health, civic activities, rec reation and “God in the commuf ity life.” Urging soil = improvement, she hmid “Show me where the land has gone down- and I wil show you where the man has gone down.” WP She declared .. that. we Dave thought too muech of training for citizenship, rather than having young people given impressions of good citizenship from infancy, and training for “political rights.” “Unless there are 21 years of good citizenship, political rights are in jeopardy,” she nodded.
