European kings and princes whose fav-
orite pastime Throughout history has
been war, whose sport for . thousand
years has been to deluge the land with
the blood of their people.
The young people Of our high schools
who will produce ninety per cent of
the leaders of their time should b.,
Aads to realize that citizenship, in this
great Democracy where no blosted ar.
istocracy sap the nation of our pros
perity and rob the young men of the
best years of their lives, where all can
live in peace and forget their senseless
hatred, if they will; that such citi-
1enship is valuable birthright that
carries with it duties and responsible
ties to the state and the community in
which one lives.
We hear . great deal Of criticism IF
Anericaa schools, but if We compare
the product of our schools with those
At any other country, We are liable to
come to the conclusion that the inte!-
leetusl training of our people is not SO
badly done after all.
Europe is now bringing into play
every artifice that the mind Of man
has been able to conceive, and the re-
suit is stupendOus. But . great part
Of that artifice is due to American
brains. Americans were the first to
uss iro.elad bsttleships, the submarines
mines that blow them up were invented
by the Confederates in our civil war.
The deadly submarine boat is the in
vsntion of our Daniel BUSHNELL The
ordnance Of the heavy artillery used
by the nations now at war is the in
vention Of Wright and Gould of this
eesAtry. The formation, military tao
tics which they have beea compelled
T. adopt were worked out by American
generals in the civil war. The aero
planes which sre the eyes Of Their
armies, the telephone and Telegraph
which have proven indispensable neans
sf eonnunieation in their entrench-
ments, their powerful searchlights and
the illuninatios Of their Notifications
were nade possible by Edison. The
electric engines of their auto trucks
were invented by our DR.. Psge the
matches with which they light their
cigarettes and even the cigarettes
th,aselves are American inventions.
AZ night when the battle Gibbs, from the
nstal throat Of Edison's great inven-
tisa there peals forth the martial
strains of "Die Wacht am Rhine" and
"Tippesary.' But to cap the climax,
"Tipperary" itself was written in
New York City.
1t is to our public schools that We
must look for the training Of our fu-
tuss statesman, and these Statesmen are
. vital necessity; for they will have
nigAty tasks to perform, for America .
sssatsst problems arc still to solve
WITH prophetic vision Carlisle has said;
"Anesiea, TOO, must strain her e.er'
gies, crack her siuews, and all but
Sseak her heart in thoasaadfold wres-
tie with pythons and mud demons BE-
Ssee she can become . habitation for
The Gods. Anerica's battle il still to
fisAt and We, sorrewful though moth
ing doubling, wish her strength for it.
Now spiritual pythons, plenty of them
enormous Negotiations ugly - ever
were born of mud loom huge aad hide
ous out Of the twilight future Of Amer
1sa-6Ae will have her own agony but
her own victory"
In conclusion, Mr.. Underwood ex-
planned how the completeness Of Amer
iea's victory must depend upon the
work of her schools. He said that in
bsildinS such structures n the Garfield
County High school we were the uI-
conscious builders Of the future state
ard he hoped that future builders, ar
fists, scientists and statesmen might
through them receive inspiration for
,oble lives, and that the Garfield Coun-
y High School might prove . blessing
commensurate with the sacrifice snd
