A Call for Citizen Involvement in Politics and Education
A long, didactic editorial urges readers to engage in politics, arguing that citizens fail their duties by ignoring public affairs. It condemns political apathy, cites recent Congress and slavery issues, and urges study of political economy, plus responsibility for education governance and school funding.
