The Country Is aoand Yet.
These are troublesome times in the |
world. This country is sound as yet |
We don't want any false doctrines
coming in here. 1t is no time now
to listen with credulity to the whis- |
perings of fancy, 1t, is the time now
to keep our feet on the ground, our
ideals high, our eyes on the future
and do our best, but don't experiment
with new things when the whole
world is half topsy-turvy, The best
service we can render to our country
now is by keeping our feet on the
ground and trying to settle i'm a Just
and equitable way the questions that
come up, keep our eyes 10 the front
remember our big mission and GET
ready to quickly do it, for it is b'g
one and we are going to carry it out
as we see fit to carry.it out We want
to do all we can to build up a spirit
of national solidarity. There Is only
one loyalty in this country and that Is
loyalty to the people of the united
States of America. (Applause) You
want n sympathy as wide as the world
bOrdered neither by race nor creed
and we want to act in response to that
sympathy, always under the dictates
of our own conscience.
Plea for Better schools.
Now we want to do a great deal
if we are going to have this KIND OF
national conscience. We nave got
to have the very best system of train

want to draw to the teaching profess

You are turning your children over 10
men and women to receive thelr edu-
cation and character, who are under
fed, underpaid and oftenumes hVinE
on an unsatisfactory salary. me iiS-
ures which stand at the foundation
of the republic are the laborer' the
father, the mother and the teacher
Our teaching profession in TINS couh-
try is filled now by splendid men ana
women, who have dedicated ther
| lives to it because of love FOR the
cause. What better use can we pu1
our wealth tic than in putting II INTO
| the teaching profession?

tai The rich man has talked with the
laborer on the long watches of the
night and has learned that he is mar
like himself-has the same kind OF
difficulties and troubles, differing only
in degree. The newcomer has fount

to measure his value of the newcomer
We have had something of the broth

great deal and see very little of.
This training together is one o
