Just out of hearing of the grasshopper warblers, there was a
good-sized pool of water on the common, probably an old gravel-pit,
its bottom now overgrown with rushes. A sedge warbler, the only one
on the common, lived in the masses of bramble and gorse on its
banks; and birds of so many kinds came to it to drink and bathe
that the pool became a favourite spot with me. One evening, just
before sunset, as I lingered near it, a pied wagtail darted out of
some low scrub at my feet and fluttered, as if wounded, over the
turf for a space of ten or twelve yards before flying away.
Bishop Vincent, writing about boyhood, says, "If I were a boy? Ah,
if I only were! The very thought of it sets my imagination afire.
That 'if' is a key to dreamland. First I would want a thorough
discipline, early begun and never relaxed, on the great truth of
will force as the secret of character. I would want my teacher to
put the weight of responsibility upon me; to make me think that I
must furnish the materials and do the work of building my own
character; to make me think that I am not a stick, or a stone, or a
lump of putty, but a person. That what I am in the long run, is
what I am to make myself."
Industry, Ambition, Self Control, Self-Respect, Courage, Duty,
Honesty, Enthusiasm, Humility, Patriotism. In every era of our
Nation's history, the true alchemy by which ordinary boys have been
transformed into Great American Men has occurred only where these
indispensable moral principles have been applied. In an age where
such manly ideals are openly derided by popular culture, it's time
to turn to the past for a clear vision of what it takes to be a
Great American, and the true moral and ethical ladder that leads to
its attainment. You Can Be a Great American: 39 Steps to True and
Lasting Greatness was first published in 1900, under the title The
True Citizen, How to Become One, and contains 39 essential lessons
in manhood tailored to each age and transition in a boy's life. It
is the clearest road map to Greatness ever compiled for the youth
of our Nation, and remains as life-changing today as it was when
first published, over 100 years ago.
