High Standard Needed.
You know I believe in children. I
want to see enough of them and of the
right kind. (Applause). l wish today,
in the very brief remarks that ! have
to make, TO dwell upon this thought
the thought that ought TO be in the
mind of every man and woman here

we need wise laws, honestly and fear
lessly executed, and while we can not
afford TO tolerate anything but the
highest standard in the public service
! NJ ha nj haf

must depend upon quality of the indi-
! vidual home. of the individual man. or
( woman in that home. The future of
this country depends upon the way in
! which the average man and the aver
Iage woman i'm il does his or her duty.
and that very largely depends upon the
way in which the average boy or girl
Is brought up, (Cheers and applause)
{ Therefore. a peculiar responsibility
rests upon those whose life work il is
to see 10 the spiritual welfare of our
| people and upon those who make it
their life work 10 try TO train the citi-
Zens of thu future so that they shall be
/ worthy of that future. In wishing you
