The True Citizen: How to Become One

Aimed at intermediate pupils, the reader presents thirty-nine weekly lessons with five daily memory gems and short, accessible essays that use anecdote and special illustrations to train natural faculties and moral instincts. Organized in four parts—childhood, youth, manhood, and citizen—each chapter focuses on a particular trait (observation, obedience, industry, honesty, patriotism, temperance, and similar virtues) and offers brief bibliographic suggestions for further study. Its purpose is to promote character development through practical habits and ethical reflection so students are prepared for public and private responsibilities, emphasizing moral formation as the foundation for sound civic life.
