The Roman lived up to the word civis; however, it was in a. different sense than we now employ it. _ He thought that to be a brave and brawny warrior was to be a good citiâ€" zen of the Roman Empire. As a reâ€" sult the Romans were the strongest empire of that time. Toâ€"day, to be a good citizen is to help the nation in which you live in otherways than by war. '\Iam]v in a social way, so that we can bind one another more eclosely together in friendly ties, and live up to the old proverb which 1% used in many clubs and societies; ‘*All for one, one for all; United we stand, separate we fall.‘‘~ And in the proâ€" ceeding paragraphs I will endeavour to explain to you how I could best fit myself to be a good citizen of Northâ€" ern Ontario. x If one wishes to make a suceess of his career, thit is in a certain line of work, he must start at the bottom and work up. The same plied to myself. If i1 am success of being a good Northern Ontario L must bottom ~rung, as it were words I must first be a ; of my own community or of my own community or town., One of the most important factors, I think, a good citizen should look to is the obtaining of an education. 1 live in the greatest province of Canâ€" ada; its educational system cannot excelled anywhere else in the world. Therefore it is my duty to take this wonderful opportunity to gain knowâ€" ledge, because knowledge is power. And power is the backbone of a great nation, together with educated people to control this power. Furthermore, is it not the ambitious people who turn out to be the best citizens? Do you suppose that a commonâ€"labourer with no ambition whatever can help to make Northern Ontario on a level with some of the oldest and more inâ€" habited parts of Southern Ontario? No! I must take for ‘my example men like Abraham Lincoln and Lloyd George or many other men who have helped to make some of the \\’nlfid’s ereatest empires, such as the British Ivimpl1t course have tional times hituwn imstortul wer ject instead of he zen of my. community.

All the This is called charity and it is in charity people show their real selves by helping one another.. That is the reason why I have chosen this as aA vital part of my plan to be a good citizen of Northern Ontario. All the people, according to my opinion, should show an unselfish nature to the people who make up their community. Northertn Ontario is a land too full of opportunities and riches for people to be starving, in it. Therefore, 1 think I should belong to a charity organization to help the more unforâ€" tunate 1')eople in my @ommunity onto their own legs once more. Charity does not only mean helping people out: iinancially. No, a good citizen does not have to belong to an organization to be a person of charity. I could do just as much by helping people who are discouraged with themselves and their lives ard by trying to make them see the good parts of life, thereby establishing a universal love. In all mining camps, such as the town in vhich 1 live, the state of morals is vyery. low. I think that a person who trics t® remedy these conditions makes as good a citizen as Northern Ontario could wish for. People with a low sense of morality are indifâ€" ferent as to what is going on around them, that is in the line of charity. They are poor lawâ€"abiders, which is one of the worst offences people can commit. _ They not only ruin themâ€" selves but also the young life which makes up their environment. In order to become a good citizen of Northern Ontario I think that I should endeaâ€" vour in every way possible to help the unfortunate people around me, not only financially but in organizaâ€" tion, and also in morals. The easiest way to accomplish the latter is by nractising it so they may take my way tO accompilish â€"LIIC (1abbEL y practising it so they may take my actions as an example, One of the best ways to overcome moral weaknesses is to form social clubs. There are many clubs to which boys and young men belong. Some of them are larger orgzmizations such as the Y.M.C.A. and also the Canadiman N a /“// ,/‘// , .,/I’/../,," /.

Every town should try and afford a Y.M.C.A. because many young men who are going to ruin in Northern Onâ€" tario and right here in our own comâ€" munity do so because they have nothâ€" ing else to turn their attention from bad to good. If I were to join one of these clubs and enjoy myself 1 would tell these young men of my enjoyment and probably convince them to join such a society. That is so much for the moral good obtained in these societies. One way in which 1 could fit myâ€" self to be a good citizen is by paying strict attention to the patriotism that is taught in these organizations. It is said that patriotism is left for the narrowâ€"minded and the ignorant. 1 do not think this is‘ so. Of course no person need go to extremes in boasting of his country. On the other hand I don‘t think it right for a man to allow slurs to be attached to the name of his country. Every boy and young man should give some of his thuu("ht to the affairs taking place in his community. If a question arises before the people of the town in which he lives, he should give it some thought because it shows that he is taking an interest in the welfare and developing of this community and his country. That is the reason why I think that I would be wise to join one of these organizations. It is here that I would meet groups of boys and young men and hear the latest difâ€" ficulties that are continually arising in the community. As I have said before it is better to start at the first step of a large proposition and work up. _ The same with the subject I am writing this composition on.

A bé t» I am a good citizen of the town in which I live I will in later years deâ€" velop into a good citizen of the Dominion of Canada. If I were to take part in all the social and charity work of my comâ€" munity I would be considered a good citizen. Northern Ontario being yet in its infancy must be dealt with in great care. The amount of work put forth by any good citizen should be untiring. Also the work I do for my community should be put forth with great effort. large towns, and my adione bo be a good citizen would have but little influence on such a large stretch of country. The main body of this composition is of my efforts to be a good citizen of Northern Ontario througch my community. The reason I took my community as the main body is because I think that when you put forth efforts to be a good eitiâ€" zen of that community you are fitâ€" ting yourself to be a good citizen of the whole of Northern Ontario. The young generation that is now living will some day see Northern Ontario in a higher stage of development than our fathers now see it. So the trainâ€" ing of good citizens now will be most essential in later years. Northern Ontario is a vast area of land dotted with many small and large towns, and my efforts alone to be a good citizen would have but little influence on such a large stretch of countrv.
