OLD FASHIONED PATRIOT
ISM NEED OF THE NATION
A small town business man sat
him down the otno. DAY and
tired to figure out why America
was distracted and bGset by its
current plague of isms. In
stead of blaming paid ag ators
f.om overseas, he concluded fin
ally that the fault is our own.
And he summed up his medita-
tions in a lette which is well
worth some spate here.
"Whcn | was IA kid (lO, these
many years ago." he wrote,
"going to school daily saluted
the flag and every morning be-
fore our studies began we sang
My County IT'S of Thee We
were alsi taught of and Impress
ed with our national heroes,
their deeds, their homes, their
backgrounds, etc.
1--WE committed to memory
the Americans Greed, the Pre-
ambbe to the Constitution, the
Gettysburg Address, and other
historic passages. In fact, all
through my 'scitoel y'e airs we
were taught to respect and love
America and everything that is
American. We were ..imbued
with patriotism.
"Then there developed a lax
ness in these patriotic teachings
.......Perhaps the broadening Of
the curriculum over the past 20
years to better equip the chit
dren to earn a living on leaving
school crowded out some of our
teaching of patriotism. But five
or ten minutes of every school
day devoted to teaching love OF
country would, | think, be the
greatest way to fight the growth
of things un-American."
The Old-fashiOned schOOihOu:;r
has como in for a lot of criticism
lately. 1t was unscientific and
slipshOd, il stuffed its pupils
minds with facts instead OF
teaching them how to think, il
did not relate its teachings to
the problems Of prescnt-day
life and so on, and so on.
BUT it did do one thing, as this
business man points out; it did
Undue it's pupils with a solid, IN
questioning, instructive love Of
country.
And that is a virtue we should
have trouble getting along with
tut. We need the critical spirit
which is wiling to recognize
past mistakes and solve prob
lens by cold reason instead of
by emotion, Cf course; but VIC
also need - and need vitally -
that old loyalty and love which
put the nation as n whole above
any fnividual and above any
cause.
