This thought was by Dr. O'Shea, superintendent of schools ig New York city, in requesting that the teachers Fead™ the Declaration of Independence to | their chilgren. He felt that in addition to all the human rights which are proclaimed under this noble declaratidh, they have certain duties which rest on them so that the people with whom they come in shall not be deprived of their own rights. | A great deal hos ben said about the United | _ States being the land of freedom, but it is not so often rémarked that to obtain the ends we all de- | sire, there must also be co-operation and harmonious \ sftort. ThegS are many people who go through the | world in‘a state of indignation, and with the feel- ing that ‘their rights are constantly being trampled ‘upon. of thtsm do not stop to ask the ques- | tion whether they aro depriving someone else of | ~ the things that person has a right to enjoy. i The, man who is: constantly sore because he | thinks hp is deiig gouged out of a few cents or | dollars Necause of, unjust prices that he has to pa! may hingelf be dépriving someone of his rights failing to do a good day's work in return for bis | j pay, by failing to give the people to whom he sells | j goods am nervices, 8 full equivalent for what they | have The American government was built upon a _ eld ‘assertion of the rights which fairly belong to , the people, bu’ it also took it for granted that the | people would perform the duties that they owed | 7) their neighbors and the community as a whole. | “WAVANA-KEY WEST EXCURSION» Key West people who may have communicate with them and suggest that they take advantage of the low Fourth of July passenger fare and come over to the Island City for a day or two. The number. of people coming on that eursion may have considerable influence upon the P, & O. officials in the matter of. allowing such rates at frequent intervals in the future, as was suggested editorially by The Citizen yesterday. If the number coming on the excursion Satur- day is satisfactory to the steamship officials, and justifies them in granting the low special rate, it would mean that they may not be averse to grant- ing such concessions in future, or, perhaps giving ex- regular week-end rates from Havana to Key West. The people of Key West have an opportunity to help out in this matter, and it means a great deal for this city. The visitors from Cuba variably add interest to the social life of Key West, and they never fail to spend money freely while in- here. + So, it would be a splendid idea for the citizens of Key West to see how many they can be instru- | mental in bringing froth Havana to Key West on the low Fourth of July excursion rate. DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT One of the most common remarks-made in re- | gard to the Crown and Princess of Sweden, on to this country, as.to democratic spirit. marked about royal personages when they come over here from the old world. The people seem to think of them as aloof individuals set up! very far on some high throne. But when they see them, they find they have a strong feeling of comradeship their visit | for the ordinary man and woman. It is the same regarding . high personages in this country. They do not enjoy ai’ aloof position,’ and they value their contacts with the ordinary run of people, and feel that by such acqueintance they become better able to do whatever work: they . have to do. - While democratic spirit is thus common among | the’ great, it is not always seen among the “near great.” the ladder, they feel jealous of their position, and desire to associate with those: still, higher rather than with those supposed to be below them. Hence they adopt a snobbish attitude, and are very cold and distant if people make approaches to them. ~ eee Some cruel snubs arg administered to those who are not supposed to have the right social rela- tions. A woman who is not “in society,” will be treated with scant ‘courtesy in -exélusive \social cir-" cles in many places, and be made to feel she is out of her element, Undemocratic manners are a sign not of greatness, but merely of people who are trying to be great, but have not got there. The people who adopt lofty and superior manners are apt to be in- | terior to many of those whom they treat so dis- courteously. Those who win the public favor enjoy | contacts with all kinds of people, and feel they can learn something from all. TRIUMPH OVER DIFFICULTIES The newspapers_tell us almost every day of people who in spite'of great physical handicaps, | have accomplished large results, For instance, we | j read how a student at Purdue university~in In- | diana, who has been paralyzed and who was never | able to leave his home, had yet won a degree with | high distinction, and his scholastic work rivals the best ever done in that institution. Misfortunes affect different people different- ly. Some are just crushed by them, and they seem | satisfied to have some good excuse for their failure | to accomplish much. But there are splendid people who are just stimulated by such misfortunes to con- quer them and accomplish perhaps more than they would if these things had not happened to them. The triumph of such a handicapped young fel- | low ought to be a lesson to many whe are favored by health and wealth, but who never accomplish anything out of the ordinary. THE NATION’S FOUNDERS A good July Fourth thought is that there has perhaps never been a country which was shaped by people of such commanding ability . and pene- trating insight, as those who founded our govern- ment. Up to the time they created this great ex- periment in freedom, democratic governments had | been failures. People got tired of them, and turn- ed to kings and dictators as a better way to secure what they wanted. The wonderful men who created this govern- ment, saw what were the underlying causes for | these failures, and how such difficulties could be avoided. The principle that they built upon was that the people are intelligent enough to protect themselves. If our government is to continue & vindicate this principle and assure general welfare, popular education mus{ act be geglected. relatives, | friends or business acquaintances in Havana should their | 3 | The same thing is often fe When some people get up a little way on | up, | TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1926. way BE OW kasp IONED? | | i _ DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH bee w | By W.
