III Marion, o., July 5.-Speaking to a
great outpouring of "home folks,
s.& gathered in thousands at the fair
grounds here yesterday, President
Harding assured them "all Is Well
70 with the republic on its 146th birth
day. Both at home and abroad. the
us President asserted, the nation is
stronger, more secure than 1t ever
IA has been before.
"In our international relations. A"
President Harding said, "all is we'll.
Rea They are securer today, with more as
surfing prospects of peace than ever
Il before in the history of the repub.
lie.
VII I'VE are great and rich and power
80 full as to states and sections; we
are in full accord of union.
az II mean to sound no note of pes.
simism. This republic is secure.
- Menaces do arise, but public opin-
ion effaces them"
II The President did not mention by
name any of the problems which now
press his administration for solution.
lie did, however, make yelled refer
ence to the twin industrial disputes
in the coal and railroad industies.
'@ Liberty" said the President, lis
gone in America when any man is
~ denied by anybody the right TO work
anG live by that work. A free Amer

less an abridgement to deny men

Governments can not tolerate any
Il class or grouped domination thru
force 1t will be sorry day when

:" laws"
n The greatest menace to public well
a being, MIR. Harding said, was the
B, man who sought to infiame passions
II when steady counsel is needed.
Frankly, we have broader
viewpoint than the founding fathers, -
y he continued, after reference to
Marion's celebration. I'VE have,
q because human progress has altered
our world relationship, but we have

cannot be aloof from the world, but
SIS we can impress the world with

81 Il mean to say it, because it is
seemly to say it, the world believes
today in American national unself-
~ ishness as never before, and recog-
nizes our commitment to justice TO
1 be no less resolute than our deter
mination to preserve our liberties.
Il Even Russia, toward whom we re-
main aloof, except in sympathy and
very practical proof thereof, looks
aa& upon America as friend and example.
"Majorities, restrained to the pro,
lection Of minorities, ever must
rule.
MR. 1T does not matter who opposes
If an opposing minority has just
objection, the rising tide of public
opinion will change the law. There

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL A
UNIFYING FORCE

The public school is the one
force, is the only force, that
can unity all classes and con-
ditions of society. Here we
have the children Of the nat
ion in their entirety, and we
can, if we will, teach them in
the schools so much OF the
grandeur Of u possessions,
of the heroic in our history,
of the brilliant in our pro-
sperity, of the fascinating in
u traditions, that the fathers
of the future will be willing
to vote for, and die, if need be,
for the american idea; that the
mothers of the future will
teach their sons to develop our
resources by industry, to honor
J the historic heroism Of our
sires, to project the brilliancy
Of our prosperity into the fut-
ure, to cherish with unwaver-
ing devotion, the traditions OF
the land.
) We have no other avenue
than the public school by which
) to reach the men Of tomorrow;
we need no other, if only we
improve the opportunities it at
fords. We have no school sys-
|. tenn by means Of which we can
order patriotism into the sch

= be taught. We have, how
