said II think they are very worth
while, and amount to great deal more
than the world will give them credit for.
When an emergency arises. today's
young people are capable Of rising to
meet it.
"Of course, I am speaking only of
the boys and girls who want an edu-
cation, and who want to be something
in the world"
With such words Of cheer, this lady
of the cabinet consigns the pessimism
Of less observant critics to the morgue
of disproved theories and injects a con-
tagious optimism into the Nations con-
Germ for its future leaders.
Can a woman have a career and a
home. too?" Mrs. Wilbur repeated the
question that had been asked her.
A look of great earnestness came into
her blue eyes.
"A woman marrieS and has children.
Those children are the citizens of to-
morrow. What greater career can that
woman have than to see that those chill
dren become citizens who will be able
to share the responsibilities as we'll as
the privileges which are granted them
by democracy.
ITO achieve this end, training must
start in the home at an early age for
intelligence is a basis of good citizen
ship. Then there are the schools to
which the mother can turn for aid in
her great task At Stanford there is a
course in citizenship which every stu
dent is required to take. In it many
things are nodded together to try to
make evident some of the duties of
citizenship. Clubs and other Organiza-
tions are coming into being throughout
the country which are helping to pro-
mote the worthy cause"
Again, the keynote of her life's phi
losophy had been struck There was
an earnestness behind those words that
revealed deep-seated conWction-the
power Of government rests not upon
some miraculous panacea which a
Caesar may apply to its weaknesses, but
rather upon the mothers. and the
fathers. the youths and the maidens
