By Daniel W. Chase r
as to the ability of the pupils in \
the public schools to talk on the (

the conseience-of a nation. The e
strength, industry and civilization
of a nation depend on in- }
dividual character?that indefin- ,
able quality that has made our j
citizenship freer in body, broader j
in mind and cleaner in .. con- c
science. ?
There is one lamentable fact ;
about all this though, and that is ]
sufficient stress has not been ]
placed upon the teaching of the j
real principles laid down,in.the. ?
Constitution. These youngsters, j
could be taught lasting lessons j
if certain portions of the Consti- g
tution were emphasized, especial- _
ly certain a ril?nd merits thereto.
While these youngsters are4>ebw^ -
trained - for citizenship, they ^
must be made to feel that it is j
a high drimo to kill the spirit of ^
mdrviduals and to snuff out-for- ~
ever the torch o^ human ambit- c
ion. - . : : :?~
- In other -words, while -arg-uing-* about
the wonderful spirit underlying
the great Constitution j.
of the United- States of Ameri- ^

emphasis to life in a larger-senset|

so that these young orators may! ^
know that the 14th and 15th^a- ^
generations must look themsel- J|
ves squarely in the face a>s frauds^
if they deny to certain races the j
and ToTfre Themselves.*
Already They are here in lar- c
ger numbers than need be slack- I

that the others ask. What then i'
is the sum and substance of it
difficult to be self-contained and, I
.... "II
in a> crisis, it is never easy to
stand solidly on the ground,*:
look up to high heaven and still
have hope.
