Althouhh Mr.. Coolidge in his ad-
dress made no direct reference TO
prohibition. It was apparent that It
was violations OF the Volstead act
to which he referred in urging great
er obedience to law. DR.. Joseph II.
Odel, this city. made the announce
ments OF the afternoon. and DR.. Will
liam NJ. Irvine. president OF the as
ISOLATION. introduced the Vice-Pres-
ident.
Mr.. Coolidge said he first wanted to
express his appreciation 10 those pub
deserving citizens who are under
paid for the services they render.
His object in coming TO Wilmington,
he declared. was TO speak a word OF
commendation TO the members OF
the association.
1T IS the teacher more than any
thing else" he said, that makes the
school. Il inspires the student TO
master the truth and live by Il. Ed
ucation has a two-fold element. To
develop moral and intellectual pow
ers. II education OF today is TO be
safe and sound you will find it must
be based on a great religious foun-
dalton. We must have the intellec-
tual training, but without the e
ligious foundation It will all fail.
Real Source OF Democracy.
Some people say we ought to have
more vocational training. That we
ought to pay more attention 10 vo-
casional than cultural education.
still others, that we should lay more
emphasis on a commercial training.
II the people receive an education
and are not able 10 make a living,
there is something the matter with
the education. But that's not all
Our chief aim should be 70 maintain
our ideals. II these are not main
tanned our civilization fails. know
vocational education is needed, but
It isn't the foundation on which ed
ucation should be built. Our de-
mocracy comes from the fact that
we are broadening out our base. Our
earliest educational Instructions were
d esiEned 20 instruct biblical students
so that they might become teachers
OF others. Community and society
and government ought TO provide
some education for everyone along
some line.
I'VE ought 20 teach a greater re-
spect for authority. The country Is
suffering from a lack OF that senti-
ment. 1 do not believe We shall
make very much progress until the
respect for law is instilled into our
youth. Unless the youth IS taught
obedience in home and in school |
here Is no time or place they can
earn It later in their lives.
I'VE believe in the right Of self
II the nation desires TO
,hange the law we have constitu-
ional ways TO make such changes.
Under our laws the way IS open and
he path plain. We are a federated
representative system.
LAS I see it there are four things
hat are necessary in education to-
lay. These are: development OF the
moral spirit; furtheranoe of democ-
'acy; obedience 10 constituted au-
hority: maintenance OF law and
elf-government."
Vice-President Coolidge was given

was right 10 refuse to admit can

DR.. Livingston Farrand, president q

land for education. He said that he 5
