SAFEGUARD THE HOME.
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE Bull
WARk OF THE NATION.
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION
Two Vital Things to Be Considered by
Those Who Would See the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest ad-
vancement and civilization there is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love of home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars of the nations
greatness, and in American citizen
ship is found the bulwark of our re-
publican government
Where the home life is ideal, there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
lightenment and the domestic happi-
ness of the people. How important 1t
is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for devel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation of govern
ment and the maintenance of a ma
tion's greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
| moll, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence OF the love
of country that should be found in the
hearts OF its citizens. There is n duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come. The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make 1t attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
| and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life.
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
| open to every citizen. md where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes. there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deayor TO found for himself and his
progeny a residence place that will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centive to higher mental and social
development.
Education is all important and no
| oth'i touhts III W
all such glorious advantages to re
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States. II is important that the
home be located near good schools
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns. The quality OF citizenship OF n
community can generally be gagged by
the standard OF It's educational insti
tutions. II Is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he Is To-
Gated or which he may reside near.
be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be. the better will
be It's educational facilities for the
youth. II Is essential to the greatest
good of community that II be real.
ized by all residing within II that the
more wealthy II can be made. the
greater will be It's advantages both as
To education and otherwise. by sup.
port TO home institutions the home Is
made better In every way. Patriotic
citizens will make II their first aim to
be loyal TO their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who Is loyal to home Is generally
faithful In the performance OF all the
duties that good citizenship implies.

The
Fourth of
July
BY 7. G. HARBAuGH

Old Glory is waving on land and on
sea,
The hope of the Nation, the pride of
the free,
Our fleets bear It outward to harbors
afar,
And dear to the eye is the gleam OF
each star;
In beauty 1t floats over hemlocS and

Adown TO our orange.fringed tropical

Our fathers beneath it were willing
to die,
And new luster 1t gets on the Fourth
of July.
The Old Continentals! methinlks that

Out Of the past at the tap of the drum,
Their swords are aloft and their bay

And Washington rides at the head of

And yonder is charging Mad An.

They fought and they fell meath the
Unions blue sky.
And gave to Columbia her Fourth OF

We reach out from ocean TO ocean
afar.
A nation OF freemen all matchless in
war,

shorn.
For never by foe has his plumage
been torn:
And woe TO the hand that would fetter
his flight.
or sully the banner he guards in his
might:
He watches our land from his elrie on
high.
And our nag waves for him on the
Fourth of July!
Our forefathers gave us this home OF
the free.
And tenderly guarded young Libertys
tree;
And pourishcd the soil with the best
OF their blood:
Blow, blow the wild bugles, but not
for the fray,
The morning has dawned upon Liber.

Unfurl the proud emblem that kisses

For this is the worlds only Fourth of
