Presented are general session and discussion group reports from a citizenship conference held in Philadelphia in May, 1946. Directed by the National Citizenship Committee of the National Education Association, the conference provided an opportunity for political, business, educational, and religious leaders to discuss benefits and responsibilities of citizenship during the period following World War II. Specific objectives of the conference were to clarify leadership responsibilities in the area of citizenship and to define the role of education in helping citizens become responsible political participants. The 50 conference speakers included college deans, superintendents of schools, the mayor of Philadelphia, government officials, members of the clergy, state governors, corporation presidents, labor leaders, senators, foundation spokesmen, and citizens council representatives. Topics discussed included characteristics of good citizenship, world community, social change, duties of citizenship, American heritage, world freedom, reasons for participating in civic affairs, human rights, the need for citizenship recognition programs, and the citizenship value of participating in the war effort.
