EMPHASIZES VALUE
OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Selden M. Ely Addresses As
sociation of Oldest In
habitantS.

The value of public schools to the
life of the nation was emphasized by
Selden NJ. Ely. a supervising principal
of the local school system, addressing
the Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of the District of Columbia at patri-
otic exercises at Union engine house,
10th and H streets. today.
THE public school is the great
amelioristic institution" Mr.. Ely de-
clared. 1T believes in every man
forward and no man backward. 1t
believes in giving every one the
power to understand. Above all. it
should give all the power to under
stand our government.
Our citizens do not want the
schools to suffer, because they do not
want the country to suffer. The
schools are the service stations of the
republic. Their teachings are basic
to the government The public school
is peaceful in its purposes, but heroic
in its accomplishments"
Education Gift of State.
Education, said the speaker, is not
an inherent right, but gift of the
state. In conclusion Mr.. Ely gave
the following definition of Amer
What is Americanism? 1t is that
heritage of our people, that liberty
which has been derived and won
since 1907 by over 800 years OF Amer
lean life. Americanism Is not po-
litical extract from the best of the
Egyptians, the Persians. the Greeks,
the Romans or the English. Ameri-
canism is embodied in our Constltu-
tion, which instituted the first repub-
lie under written lava new crea-
q
tion as original as any mechanical
invention depending on the unchang-
ing laws of nature, for 1t is based on
the immutable rights in the indi-
vidual of life, liberty and property.
Americans have been those who made
possible this charter of opportunity,
those who created it and those who
have since supported its principles.
All others are not Americans, for
they have not the American faith.
The test of Americanism is he who
accepts and lives by the American
doctrine"
Recite American Greed.
The exercises began with an invo
cation by Rev. Page Milburn. after
which the members joined in recitinG
the American creed. Excerpts from
the Declaration of Independence were
read by Irwin b. Linton.
The exercises were preceded by a
business session, at which the follow

And that gun, if it's about;

Pull the trigger, let 'er fly
What If We are getting gray
This Is Independence Day!

To a real Fourth of July.
When from early morn till night
We would yell with all our might;
No restriction as to noise
On us then. when we were boys;
Let's repeat the same. l say
This is Independence Day!
Get your devil-chasers. too.
Let US those good times renew;
Shoot your crackers by the pack
Put torpedoes on the track,
Then Just listen for the sound
As 1t almost shakes the ground;
Gee! we ought to all feel gay
This is Independence Day.
Get your fife and get your drum,
Let 'em know this day has come;
Some folks are a little shy
Wake them up before they die.
Wave that old Red, White and Blue,
AS we youngsters used to do,
Let your ardor have full sway
This is Independence Day.

How 1t rang. the news to tell,
How the other bells chimed in
Hear the shouts and hear the din!
Hear the Declaration read!
We are free!' is what 1t said,

That first Independence Day.
Let US pep" into it put
No gum shoes or pussyfoot;

Preceding the religious service,
which was one of great beauty and
impressiveness, Lord Grey. who prob
ably enjoyed a closer acquaintance
lishman, delivered q brief dedicatory
address. in which he declared that
the namae of Walter Hines Page
should be remem Sered with honor
and affection as that of lone who
gave US invisible help at time when
our liberty and very independence
seemed at stake"
Praise of His Work.
"Mr. Page" Lord Grey continued,
sire to make human freedom prevail
among the nations Of the world. His
patriotism was of the noblest kind;
he loved his country both for what
it was and what he believed il could
and would do for the benefit of man
kind.
His perception of the power Of the
United States, his belief in its democ-
racy, his untailing trust in the will
OF its people to do great and good
things were part of his very being.
1t was very near his heart that there e
should be between his country and
ours a true knowledge and under
standing each of the other. We wish
his name to be honored as one who
gave us invaluable sympathy and
moral support in the greatest crisis
in our history.
1T is most fitting that this memorial
should be in Westminster Abbey, the
shrine Of so much that is great, hon
orable and dear In our history, which,
not so very long ago, as time is
reckoned, was as much a part Of his
ancestors as of our own"
