ness but mas own. And 1t certainly
was characteristic Of ma.
For ma refused to go and live with any

married a young butcher with big
money-making shop. Nell was the least
that didn't make any difference. Ma said
finally that she would live with none OF
them. And then she married pa again.
Because she explained to Ann. the
children are all settled and it doesn' I
make any difference about a background
for them And-and / amt never felt
comfortable thinking of him boarding

life. And presently ma died. Just be-
fore she died she said to Ann: 81 guess

the sort Of patriotism that puts the
state above humanitarian. His sub
ject was Patriotism and Perspective"
He also pointed out that 1t Is foolish
for state to believe that 1t Is COM
prised of 'the chosen people," saying
that all of the nations contributed to
present day civilization. He cited the
various things which various states
had contributed.
THE theory that this or that nation
Is the chosen people, is justified neith-
