THE CIVIC-MINDED CITIZEN
There were two children in the Franklin family now. The first was William, the other, Francis Folger, whom the father called Franky. He was proud of his sons. He had reason to want to be a good example to them.
One day he drew up a list of thirteen “virtues” as follows:
Temperance (eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation)
Silence (speak not but what may benefit others or yourself)
Order
Resolution (perform without fail what you resolve)
Frugality
Industry
