What good reasons can you give for the action of the government in
consolidating the Regular Army, the National Army, and the National Guard into a "United States Army"? What arguments can you give in favor of requiring all instruction in the public schools to be given in the English language? What arguments can you give in favor of teaching lessons in citizenship in foreign-language newspapers? What foreign nationalities are represented in your locality? Make a blackboard table showing the nationality of the parents and grandparents of each member of your class. Give illustrations to show that "winning the war" was the controlling purpose in your community during the war. In what way has the war made YOU think about the right-to-life and the need for physical well-being? about security in property? about freedom of thought? about the desirability of an education? about the right of people to pleasant surroundings? about self- government? Show how the Spanish-American war was fought for the same purpose as that mentioned in the paragraph above. Write a brief theme on "What the Flag Means to Me." NATIONAL INTERDEPENDENCE |
