of the youth of our country true pr1n-
ciples of patriotism and loyal reverence
for our flag That we may more effectually
do this have opened our doors so we
can take in the young men and show them
by our example what 1t takes to be true
patriots when the life of our country Is as
sailed. We are the only order that has
taken broad and comprehensive view or
the great need of bringing into our patriotic
folds the young men that we may secure
their cooperation In building patriotic
structure whose foundations were cemented
with the blood of 1900 soldiers, who gave
their lives that the country might live
Every stone in the structure Is an emblem
of a manned veteran, and when completed
