PROGRESS AND PATRIOTISM.
Few OF Many Testimonials of the March
of Ideas i'm the Ranks of the Loyal home
Workers.
TRUE TO OUR PRINCIPLES.
I'm 10 date Il. 1927 names have been enrolled
I'm the Conversation Club of the Loyal Home
Workers Department of The NATIONAL IRIB-
UNE, pledged to Progress aud Patriotism, and
kind and helpful fraternity. OF these hum
dreds have taken a step higher and enrolled
themselves IN the Loyal Home Workers Asso-
citation. designed to make more vital and elect
i've the principles to which every true c. Z.
stands pledged.
Every one enrolled in the C. C. becomes eligi-
bic TO membership in the L.H.W. Association,
which goes 4 few steps higher and has system
ofrules and regulations designed to make moro
vital and far-reaching these noble and enobling
principles.
But whether &C. or L.H.W., there is not one
enrolled IN cur ranks who has not equal privi-
leges with every other; who may not he heard
on any topic that presents itself, and who has
not at some time in his history as &C. ex-
pressed an opinion as TO the merits and de-
merits of the weekly feast set before him.
Every member of the c. C. and l. w. knows
that there is purpose running through the
entire department of Loyal Home Workers,
and that purpose is the cultivation of kindly
sympathy and the cardinal virtues OF sterling
loyalty and hcalthful progress.
All that is trivial and deteriorating is eiirni-
mated, but upon the principle that all work
and no play makes Jack dull boy" there has
been at ali times pleasant humor, harmless
badinage, aud the chat that pure-hearted boys
aud girls have diverted themselves with IN all
times and ages.
But it takes a good while to get anything
organized. and training school of any kind is
exceptionally slow. The best proof that the
Loyal Home Workers are organized and moving
as one body will he found by comparing their
present trend with that of former years. Then
the tendency was TO overlook the main par
poses Of their being, fraternity, progress patri-
otism. and bring in all sorts of extraneous
discussions flying from this to that, with no
definite plan or purpose in view.
Fraternity includes pleasant chat, good will,
helpful spirit in word and deed. Progress
embraces general education, culture in its
largest sense, alertness TO all questions OF the
Times. with q growing ability to discuss and
master them.
Patriotism includes personal loyalty, patri-
otto teaching, good citizenship, Americanism
in its trucst aud best sense. IT is the secret OF
living for ones country as well as dying for it;
Of the union OF many in one. and that one our
country. with all its history te guard and all
its history 10 make
In this connection It is interesting TO quote
FROM some of the many messages reaching the
the editor commendatory OF the Loyal Home
pQ wifi
and pleasant &C chat and comment
SOUTHERN TEACHES TRIBUTE.
DEARCC. AND L.H.W.: There is always one
day ont Of each week on which want to write
20 the &C. and that is the day on which l. re-
ceive The NATIoEAL TRIBUNE, and read the
bright, witty, Dewsy, original, patriotic and
loyal sentiments aud sayings of members Of
our band but it so happens that do not have
time TO indulge my wants, and hence you are
not suefeited with letters from your Southern
friend.
How band is increasing OF late and how
ardent and earnest some OF our members are
becoming
Loyalty and patriotism are grand and noble
themes. indeed. Next to the love for good
should come love for ones country. How We
should strive to protect and guard our coun-
try.
What vast and beautiful country is OURS,
and how proud we should be of H. and bow We
should strive TO keep Up with or ahead OF other
Nations.
think the spirit Of loyalty is implanted in
ali Of Us in the beginning; for observe the aver
age child. FOR instance, what a spirit of loyalty
he shows toward bis home. lie wants his home
10 be as bright and attractive ii not more So
than other bones
As be gets older he goes to school, and there
he learns TO love his place OF instruction. and
be wants bis school 70 he up with or ahead Of
The other schools and woe be 10 the urchin OF
HeiRhboring school who makes a sighting re-
mark about his school while be Is around
Wien he becomes older he develops a love
for his town, aud he does all in his power for
the good OF las town and 10 keep il up with or
ahead OF rival towns, and of course il only fol-
lows that be should aud would love has coun-
Try he prows older.
Some who possess this loyalty nurture il. as il
were. aud 81 grows and grows; aud there are
others WHO abuse and misuse their loyalty until
it departs from them, and hence we have trail
tors.
How we teachers should strive 10 kindle the
fame Of loyalty and patriotism IA our pupils,
and after II Is kindled how we should fan aud

What great and glorious Nation is ours. the
United States. the producer OF some % natures

with industry, ambition, nerve. power aud
loyalty.
How proud We arc OF our great natriots ]

than 10 live out cur allotted nun. Der Of wears
and ia the end be drowned in the sea OF obliv-
ION.
The poet has said:
Aud they who for their country die
Shall TN aii honorcd grave;
