fS4 Woodcfift MaiiiMl for Oiilf after garbage disposal, hospitals, and health laws. It means the eliiidnati(m of corruption in every form, whether in government, in society or private Ufe— -it means in public life the conscience of the individual. While patriotism and citizenship iure the same to young and old, they mean one thing to a young person and more to a grown-up. To the older person they entail the serious matter ol voting, of holding office, ol cooperating with others in achkving good government To the Woodcraft Gu-1 it means duty well done m heme, in school, on the playground and street, in her relations with her friends and acquaintances. It means taking seriously the dub, the class, the Woodcraft Tribe — any organization to whidi she belongs. These things are vital, and only one who lives wisely and well as a yoimg person will be able to do her best in maturity. Guided by these principles, a Woodcrafter, young or old, votes for the best and does not decide the issue on friendship or selfish in- terest. The Woodcrafter grown up, always votes for the best fitted, never takes office because it is an honor merely, but am- siders it a sacred duty. The Woodcrafter in school, club, Tribe, or Oiiier group recognizes her responsibility to see that right is done— she is conscious that the grottest need of her time is that of strong men and wraoen who will want the best and see that it is obtained. This is patriotism and citizenship — that you know your home- land as well as you can, that you love it so il that you give to it your best, tliat your homeland may be a place of right thinking and right living to all, rich and poor, young and dd, strcmg and weak.
