STUDIES IN CITIZENSHIP ONVENERS of Citizenship and Educa- C tion would find good grist for their mill in the periodical “Citizen” and theDis- cussion Guides issued -by the Canadian Citizen- ship Branch. All that anyone has to do to get on the mailing list is to send a request to Canadian Citizenship Branch, West Block, Ottawa. To give some idea of the nature of these publications: A Discussion Guide on “Top and the Community" deals with “The Minimum Requirements of Good Citizenship"â€"to obey the laws, to vote and to educate our children; and “Other Aspects of Citizenship" which goes into a study of our attitudes about other people, being a good neighbor, taking part in community affairs. At the end of the bulletin these questions are suggested for discussmn: “Is membership in a political party essential to good citizenship?" “It has been said that an individual cannot reach his fullest development without par- ticipating in community affairs. What do you think? “How can parents help to develop the quali- ties of good citizenship in their children?” “It has been said that citizenship is being a good neighbor. What meaning has this for your own community?” The bulletin suggests a number of films available through community and provincial film libraries or from the Canadian Film Insti- tute, 142 Sparks St, Ottawa, for a nominal charge, to use with the discussion.
