520 _a"The True Citizen: How to Become One" by W. F. Markwick and W. A. Smith is a supplementary reader crafted for middle school students, likely during the late 19th century. The book focuses on cultivating moral and ethical facets of citizenship, emphasizing character development alongside traditional political education in order to foster higher-quality citizenship among the youth. The opening of the work introduces the authors’ motivations, which are rooted in the belief that moral instruction is often neglected in common curricula. They express a desire to remedy this shortfall by combining lessons on natural faculties with moral virtues. The structure of the book is methodically designed, consisting of thirty-nine chapters—one for each week of the school year—each featuring "memory gems" to capture the students' attention and encourage deeper reflection on ethical principles. This section sets the tone for a pivot towards the development of character as a foundation for informed and engaged citizenship, stressing that true education should nurture all aspects of a person: mind, body, and heart.
