BROTHERHOOD IN KENTUCKY
SCHOOLS

In an educational address, recent
ly, Edward X. Cook, Principal OF
Kentenia Schools, said in part:
"Kentucky's school children of to-
day are becoming the thinkers and
leaders OF tomorrow. Their atti-
tude toward progress and human
welfare will determine her rate of
uplift and betterment. They mean
the progress or regress Of her every
institution. The unparalleled ad-
vantages they today enjoy qualify
them for leadership or for personal
qualification. They should and
must become citizens of power
power which may be used TO bless
or exploit their fellow-citizens.
This power means their oppor-
tunity. Shall they not be taught TO
recognize that opportunity as an OBJ
legation to serve? Shall they re-
fuse TO regard their ability to grap-
pie with any situation as an oppor-
tunity TO crafty themselves at the
expense of their less fortunate fell
low-men, and shall not they en-
deavor to find self-realization in the
bringing into self-hood the down.
trodden and the submerged?
such an idea Of the obligation
Of the man Of ability to the man
less fortunate was foreign TO the
ancient world. We hear no hint Of
1t among the Babylonians, the
Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans
among them brotherhood was an
unthot OF conception. The same is
true today in non-Christian lands
and even in Christian lands among
men whose natural lives have not
been transformed by the spirit Of
our Master.
The Christian religion has pro-
vided our schools and placed with
in reach OF all, even the lowest, the
priceless blessing Of an education;
thereby realizing the aim OF Chris
tianity, TO treat every individual as
a son OF God-thus enjoining upon
him the duty of dealing fairly and
justly with every fellow-brother.
Such a notion of brotherhood you
will find nowhere else than in the
Word OF God. II springs full-fedged
from the doctrine Of Gods Father
hood, which sentiment is found in
no other place than the Bible.
This Christian conception Of So
ciety is a human Brotherhood
growing out Of a Divine Fatherhood
in which redeemed humanity
shall do the Fathers will individ-
ually and in collective relationships.
ave have not yet attained this
ideal even in democratic America
so civilized and Observation-Disclosures
selflshness, oppression, injustice,
suffering, sin, and covetousness
abound, after centuries OF Gospel
teaching. But the spirit OF Chris
tian Brotherhood is today becoming
widely disseminated and exceeding
ly Observation-Disclosures not as a
doctrine simply, but as a principle
TO be realized in action. May the
teachers and pupils Of Kentucky
schools become so thoroughly i'm
bued with this spirit OF Christian
Brotherhood and unselflsh service,
that in the spirit OF Him who
taught and lived IL, they shall go
forth TO battle for its progressive
realization"
