BY MISS GEORGIA HARVEY

The standard embraced in the prin-
ciples of Lionism, such as co-opera-
ton, loyalty to government, educa-
ton and high ideals, attracts men
of the finest caliber, who joined in
common unit the club have the
requisite materials, the will to do and
the means with which to build.
Building the school is building up
citizenship, and citizenship is the
cornerstone of a community. The
meaning and obligation of citizen
ship should be taught the boy and
girl before strong tendencies have
been had, the opportunities to form.
The finish of race depends on the
start.
The international Association Of
Lions clubs stands for American ism
pure and simple. Its loyalty to the
ideals of the forefathers is unques-
toned. 1t is in thorough accord with
progressive Americanism as it has
evolved from age to age in the max
ing of our glorious country, but it
stands upon the rock of the princi-
pies that have been handed down
thus by the men who so loved human
liberty that they were willing to lay
down their very lives in it's defense.
Our nations safety is the greatest
concern of the Lion. The Lions are
absolutely hostile to anything and
everything that in anyway threatens
the integrity of American ideals. On
the other hand, the Lions extend a
welcoming and heartening hand to
everyone who comes in a spirit of
optimism to offer succor for the good
of our national life.
The Lions have two great corner
stones on which their patriotic edifice
rests. These are liberty and intelli-
gence. The Lions recognize the fact
that it is impossible to compound
liberty with license, and that enthusi-
astic men in the full enjoyment of
their freedom may turn a blessing
into curse. To make that less and
less possible, the Lions clubs stand
together in solid links demanding in
telligence. They are the friends of the
public schools. They lend the full
power and force of organization for
the securing of educational oppor-
tunities for every. boy and girl in the
bounds of this nation. They recog.
nize the fact that the Lions must
walk i'm the light of intelligent pa.
triotism or that the walk will lead
US to destruction. In the Lions edu.
cational systems they not only wish
to see training of the head and
hand but they wish a training that
will produce sterling character. In
telligence that is not productive OF
mora! strength is a delusion and a
| snare.
The Lions are loyal to the country
and to the community and to the
homes. In the trinity of social life
they stand as one, and everything
that they desire for the nation they

There they can march and counter
march but never shed each others
blood in ignorant riot or hate. The
foreigner in our midst must be led
into intelligent Americanism. He
will never arrive if left alone. Our
language and our spirit must be
brought to him by US and made at
tractive and worthy of acceptance.
Twenty per cent of our native Ameri-
can citizens cannot read and write
that is, comparable to a
seventh grade pupil in our public
The minds and hearts of
our soldier boys were taught as they
fought for what they hardly know.
They came back with higher know
ledge and purpose.
The time is ripe for a new baptism
of liberty and intelligence. We must
all be immersed in the river of pa
triotism, and shout our salutation
and preach its reality. We must have
a reason. for the faith that is within
US.

This boy slew a stranger, man

he could not resist.
