niversary of the birth of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. There h a S
scarcely been a time in Amer
ican history when it was so nee
essary to arouse the true Amer
lean spirit and to bring our peo-
pie close to American institu-
tions as now, and in recent times
no man has to a greater extent
exemplifed American ideals as
did our late, beloved Ex-Presi-
dent. It may be said of him that
in his youth, he was found
faithful over a few things and
he was made ruler over many.
He cut his own trail clear and
straight, and millions followed
him toward the light. He broke
a nations slumber with his cry
and it rose up. He touched the
eyes of blind with a flame that
gave them vision. He was loyal
to his country and he exacted
loyalty. He loved many lands,
but loved his own land best. He
was the type of American that
the whole nation respected, al
though men could and did dis
agree with him at times. His
interest in and loyalty to his
country was never questioned.
He was a man of action, and
even those who had the widest
differences with him in matters
pertaining to the welfare of our
country never doubted his hon
esty. To the young, he was an
inspiration because he opened
to them the door to the possibil-
tiles that stood before them. To
the masses of struggling human
ity, his presence suggested faith
in our government and in the
Justice of it's institutions be-
cause he truly represented the
spirit of the founders and the
principles of equality which they
so carefully guarded in our con-
stitution.
1t is helpful to good citizen
ship if we will call attention to
the lives and achievements of
our nations great men. 1t
should be part of our plan of
Americanization to teach AM
erican ideals in our schools as
Theodore Roosevelt taught them
to the people.
Therefore, /, Emmanuel l..
Philip, Governor OF the state
of Wisconsin, do hereby pro-
claim Monday, October 9th,
1919, as Americanization Day
and request that upon that day
all schools set aside a short time
for patriotic exercises dwelling
upon the life and works of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as an American
and the necessity of perpetuating
American ideals.
