nOlo at the mercy OF their OoStruC"
tive and unmeasured power.
We are not responsible for their
beginnings, but unless we are wise
and timely in our wisdom, some day
they may be responsible for our end.
Wherever folks are left misguided
and uninformed, anarchs and kings
lit matters little which, will cum.
ningly exploit their benightedness-
play upon their bisotries and prey
upon their passions.
Men never begin to believe IN
themselves until they believe in the
capacity of others. There can lie no
self confidence where there is no
self-analysis. and folks do not search
for latent abilities until ambition Ier-
ceives q chance.
The malcontents who would de-
stroy the world machine are simply
bent upon securing equality. They
do not think themselves competent
to rise. therefore they attempt to
tear the proud fabrics above them
down to their own level.
Bolshevism and all the rabid
creeds disaffecting the earth today
promise social Standardization by the
elimination of enterprise and order.
We must Offset the spread of these
heresies by stimulating the same un-
happy multitudes to q higher COM
mon social standard. and do 1t by
awakening their spirit of enterprise.
and by calling history to bear wit
ness how faithfully opportunity has
kept covenant with orderly and de-
termined peoples.
We must oppose disorder with
knowledge. The final struggle be-
tween right and wrong will be
| fought out in the schoolroom.
When educational budgets uni
versally exceed military expenditures.
! sumptuary masses and classes will
alike pass, but mots and monarchs
| will continue TO burst bounds and
violate boundaries until peoples put
| foundries.
| Democracy must win lastingness
| through lightenment-must Danish
ignorance or be destroyed by it.
