"a republic naturally must make

life and chattels, the states first duty

tial rulers Of tomorrow.
Proper regard for law and the sa-
cred institutions of home and church
must be essential prerequisites in all
school curricula throughout the land.
The training of character and loyalty
for home, state and nation are most
desirable in developing those who to-
morrow occupy the seats of authority. |
'Let reverence for the laws be !
breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap" said Abraham Lincoln. LET |
it be taught in schools, in seminaries |
and in colleges. Let it be written in
primers, spelling books and alman
acs."
