integrity IS to be maintained by our public
school system. Seminaries educate the
classes, while the public school educates
the masses. Republics alone are safe in the
maintenance of public schools. To secure
the integrity of this public school system
we must accentuate their non-political and
non-sectarian character. They need not be
political to be patriotic. nor sectarian to be
highly moral Truth is greater than any
party or church, or any school of philos-
ophy.
In closing his remarks DIR. Bristol re-
peated his opening sentiment. that while
the flag floats the public school must stand,
and while the public school stands the flag
will float.
