New Ulm review., 1912-08-28

lhays 10 hght the ssayage indian. The
! time has gone BY whom men light;
that sturdy boys and men night to
hhlp. save their homes; fight that
&tAey might unity Areside and nation.
II hope it has gone by forever. But It
Win take time and It will take q long
time before we will eventually and
effectively disband all our armies and
navies; but it is meetings like this; It
tis a nation like ours. representing
everything that's best in a nation in
that will ultimately make us realize
the message sheralded by the angels
from heaven Ito the shepherds OF
Bethlehem, there shall be peace
on earth and good will towards
men," ~ -. ,&
So in meeting today to live the
past, If it be NO more than to make
the resolution&that after those fifty
years yet to come those who live
then will look back upon the fifty
years that have passed and find that
there has been more improvements,
more advancement more betterment
from the following and coming fifty
years than in the fifty years we
have covered, ~ r.
Let me suggest; and it is merely
"a suggestion, that is ALL can do
in these hurried remarks; suggest
some problem before before you and
you make your own deductions. Did
you ever stop to think that when
we come to the preventative and
durable diseases, that Minnesota can
add IA years to the vahlei of human
life; IA years to every human life
in the state; We can dosit and should
do it. The time will come when we
must Danish from our border tu--
berculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria
and all those diseases that are cost
ing us Is, 20 to 80 million lives an
nually, besides the saving of from
two to three thousand lives, that is
big problem.
know in your city you have a
hospital; it is an institution recog-
nized all over this country and say
that is a characteristic of the Ger
man race everywhere. You believe
in public health and the fellow that
can say and sing the vowel sounds
of the German language; the fellow
strong and exercise his lungs strong
enough to speak the German Ian
guage right, that fellow ought not to
have any consumption, and think
it is proper here to say that when
this choir sang in German we can
likewise sing here with propriety,
"Lieb Vaterland, magst ruhig sein,
fest steht- und treu die Wacht am
Rhine" we can say about this watch
Of New Ulm the same; as long as we
have that kind of a watch at New
Ulm there will never be any danger
Of invasion; never be any danger of
their not sacrificing everything to
protect our homes and fresides; that
Is good characteristic Of the Ger
man race.
l. would like, to go to Germany to
study for three or four months; l
would like to study the German
method of industrial education, That
IS another problem you and I have
10, solve here, We are training our
boys and girls, that is true. We
nave a splendid educational system
but we. have yet to. learn from the
German the way to better fit our
boys and, girls. in our. schools for
earning an honest and efficient and /
Upright livelihood; we must learn
better to train our boys and girls
or. life rather than to fit them out |
or any higher educational institution
We are beginning to realize that we |
must train our boys and girls for |
luties like those which are to make !
he country home and the little city |
/ little more attractive; making the |
country more attractiye and to yiel0
more pleasure and more enjoyments |
md more amusements so as to pre-. |
vent the aggravation Of congestion |
n the large centers of population.
That is another big problem for
is to work on. l want to say to you
hat Minnesota has made more pro- ?
,ress in the last past year and a
lalf than it has made in it's entire !
previous history. It is because we |
are beginning to realize that if we
shall solve these problems, you and !
:, in taking care of the boy and girl !
hat drifts upon the street of the !;
,ity, we must make the little girl |
owe the little town and city and |
country home and make them more |
attractive than they have been in the .
past. |

Paul the other day where I spoke
