WHY I’M GLAD I'M
AN AMERICAN
In the rir.<t place. I'm glad I’m an
A meric; n, because I hardly believe
there ere as good communities, good
friends and as good jiooplc in the
communities! of other routine >. ..

Since tl e recent war America is
tite most important country, and also
the freest country.
America is t:tc mod: civilized coun
try, and, too, sho is helping* other
countries to get civilised and that is
c u> thing all of us should he proud
of helping others.
Had it not been for America the
people of some countries such as:
t'hi’.in and countries of Near Ea-t
would luivo p rished—a lot did it
u **', hut America has saved thou
finds of lives.
America leads in the education o
cii’dren, and she is helping ohe
countries to establish schools ant
colleges and the people of of er
countries arc .ending their young
■conic to America to get educate !
and g: t into business with Am-r;cr-n
citizens.
I’m glad to be an American be
e ui e Ameiica has a Democratic gov
ernment and all the people have a
art in the gov- rnmerit, and all have
a right to vote for the candidate he
wants.
America : s a Christian country,
and i establi liing churches in other
count* .V.s, and she is sending workers
to foreign countries to teach the peo
ple Chf.stianiiy.
The people of America can belong
to any denomination they wish or
they can belong to no church at all
if they wish to ! to no ehurch.
I’m glad to be an Ante: ican be

SAMUEL L. CLEMENS
(1835 —1910)
Clemens was born in Florida, Mis
■nuri in 183!"). He said of his birth
p'ace: “The aillage contained a
hundred people, and I increased the
i population by one per cent. It is
' more than the best man in history
ever did for any other town.”
At the age of two and one half
years hi. family moved to Hannibal,
| which is on the Mississippi.
He attended only a common school
and this ended when he was twelve
i years of ago on account of his fa
j tlier's death, hike Franklin, Clemens
i foil owed the trade of a printer, while
I in this worn he traveled as far as
' New York,. He then became a pilot
, on the Mississippi river. After work
ing for eighteen months his salary
i reached two-hundred fifty (250) dol
in’s per month. But the war soon
closed this, trade on account, of the
, water way on the Mi si-. 't.pi being
closed.
For an account of these days one
should read, “Life on the Mi sissip
pi.” The hook, “Rough,ing It,” tells
of hi, travel by stage to Nevada
v. here he was, his brother' i private
secretary for seven years.
After his trip to Nevada he went
to Europe, and while there he wrote,
“The Innocents*Abroad”, “A Tramp
Abroad," “Following the Equator,”
“A Journey Around the World,”
are recoins of foreign travels.
It; 1881 he became a partner in
the firm of Charks, L Webster & Cos.
Tlie firm soon went broke and Clem
ons found all of his money gone and
in debt besides. It was his aim after
this to oav the debt and he struggled
very hard until the last penny of the
tioi | was paid. After his early days
