About This Book

A civics reader for young children presents a program of early citizenship training that emphasizes habit formation in civic virtues—obedience, cleanliness, orderliness, courtesy, helpfulness, punctuality, truthfulness, care of property, fair play, honesty, respect, courage, self-control, perseverance, thrift, kindness to animals, and safety—and uses stories, poems, songs, games, and dramatization to teach them. It moves from home relations to community and public services, illustrating how local tradespeople and public workers embody cooperative interdependence, and offers lesson questions, suggested activities, and an outline aligned with the child's widening circles of experience to help teachers turn examples into practical civic habits.

HOW I CAN HELP THE RED CROSS
IN TIME OF WAR
AND IN TIME OF PEACE

1. By belonging to the Red Cross and trying to get others to belong.

2. By learning to save in order that suffering children elsewhere may have their share of food and clothing.

3. By helping to prepare some of the supplies that wounded soldiers and homeless families are in need of.

4. By reading stories of relief and rescue so that I can tell others about the Red Cross.

5. By learning to be a good citizen of my country even before I grow up.

The Junior Members of the Red Cross try to share their good things with those who do not have them.

The members of the American Red Cross have two flags.

This boy has two flags. Why?

Do you have two flags?

Do you wear a Red Cross button?

Has your school an American Red Cross School Auxiliary banner?

Do you know that the American Red Cross serves the government of the United States, and that the members of the Red Cross are the best citizens of our country?

The Red Cross means being good neighbors—working together.
