boys was teaching those young fel-
lows low standard of life he would
have laughed at you or told you to
mind your own business.
Still that little community has a
school that is the terror of teachers
and has a reputation that makes no
good teacher want to take it-and
not long ago when some ladies tried
to start a Sunday school for the little
children it was broken up by the
rough actions OF some CT the older
boys.
Now no one person was to blame
just everybody was to blame
everybody who for years had been
shirkiug responsibility and letting
things drift along. 1t Is so hard for
any OF us to believe that our doing as
we please has anything to do with
whether the people who know us are
good or bad. We all have that deep
American hatred for individual re-
sponsibility-yet that sort of respon-
sibility in all that is going to save us
as a nation or as a world.
Now that is the whole What is the
matter with us'-and nothing is going
to help that is applied from the out
side like a mustard plaster. We have
got to apply steady cultivation on the
inside to every good quality which
we want to find III our life as a nation.
ITS funny to me that men study how
train and improve their cattle and
horses. and even dogs,-and get as
mad as a wet hen if you hint that
their own minds and bodies are lots
more important and will repay train
ing and cultivation a thousand times
more
