Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boys´ and Girls´ Republic: Text-Book of the Art of Citizenship One Sunday morning, some years ago, I asked a young man sitting next to me in a trolley car, if he were a graduate of a certain university. He said he was, having graduated two years previously. I asked him if he had attended the recent primaries. He replied that he had never attended a primary or caucus, and never expected to, that he had no curiosity in that direction and that he thought it not worth while to waste his time that way. Before we reached my destination, a half hour later, he said, "This matter has never before been presented to my mind in such a light. To me it is a new and true gospel, and as you have preached it to me, a total stranger, so I shall preach it to my friends, and to others whenever I have the opportunity. I am grateful to you for this new light, and with all my heart I give you my promise that I shall not neglect any - even the most humble of my civic duties."
