‘Ladder of citizenship’ well worth the climb

Recently a friend of mine sent me an article from a January 1944 issue of Weekly News Review that offered a prescription for good citizenship.

Its caption read, “There is more to citizenship than voting.” The article stressed that voting is a logical act of following what was described as “The Ladder of Citizenship.”

The ladder’s first step was listed as having public spirit. What this means is that people should very much care what goes on in their local communities, states, and nation.
