But the building of good citizenship means much more than the mere arousing and stimulating of interest and pride in the affairs of the community. To be a good citizen a man must be a good father, a good hus- band, a good son. For the kind of a man he is in the home will determine the kind of citizen he will be. Being a good citizen means being a good laborer, a good workman, a good clerk, a good merchant, a good lawyer, a good doctor. Good citizenship means all of these and more. It means neighborliness, understanding, fellowship. There is work ahead for the Civitan Club, but the goal is worth the striving.
