Abstract	The document offers an overview of citizenship-related topics which were discussed at the third annual National Citizenship Conference sponsored by the National Education Association held in Washington, D.C. in May, 1948. Excerpts are provided from conference speeches by government, civic, educational, and organizational leaders including President Harry Truman, California Congressman Richard Nixon, and Attorney General Tom C. Clark. Speakers and discussion groups at the 1946, 1947, and 1948 annual citizenship conferences identified citizenship qualities. These included that a good citizen recognizes social problems, has the will and ability to work toward solution of these problems, practices democratic human relationships in the family, school, and community, endeavors to understand different racial viewpoints, bases political actions on democratic values, participates in community affairs, and stresses the interrelationship of the United States with other nations. Evaluative comments of the third National Citizenship Conference by church, legal, educational, and youth groups indicate that the mandates to improve citizenship were positively received. (DB)
