THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
I wish to Quote from a letter
I’ve received from a quiet, thoug
htful, remarkably efficient indus
trialist who, like his illustrious
father, takes time to participate
in every good movement for the
public good and who cherishes the
great history of our nation. I am
referring to Mr. Walter Regnery
o fthe great Joanna Company and
his father, the late William H.
Regnery of Chicago.
It has been my rare fortune to
count among my friends a num
ber of men of outstanding achiev-!
ement, James C. Self, B. M. Ed
wards, William H. Regnery, John
M. Rivers, S. C. McMeekin, just
to mention a few, and in this not
able group belongs Walter Reg
nery, the modest but effective in
dustrialist.
The letter from Mr. Regnery,
in part, follows:
“The tense times that face Am
erica today unlerscore the need
for a strong, patriotic youth—
ready, willing, and able to battle,
figuratively and if need be lit
erally, for our country. Along
with many other citizens and
some educators, I fear that in
recent years our educational sys
tem in many sections of the U. S.
have weakened the spines and
dulled the patriotism that sparked
youth in the other perilous times.
I am happy to say that I be
lieve the schdols in our area are
above most in preserving what
was best in old-time education—
discipline, patriotism, real study
of basic subjects. Nevertheless, I
feel that we must be alert to the
trend to ‘educate’ for ‘life adjust
ment’ and ‘togetherness’ at the
sacrifice of rugged individualism
and independent thinking. Where
‘social promotion’ prevails w h y
should a student put forth effort
when he knows he will be ad
vanced to the next grade anyway ?
‘And then as an adult will he not
expect the government to fill his
needs instead of facing the nec
essity of providing for himself
and his family’?
Knowing that you are civic-
minded, patriotic, and intensely
concerned about what is best for
your community, your state and
your country—and all its people—
I urge you to take a few minutes
of your time to read the enclosed
pamphlet. Whether or not you
agree with everything Mr. Raff
erty says, I believe you will agree
that it was worth saying in order
to arouse a healthful appraisal of
whether we are so busy educating
for ‘life adjustment’ that we for
get to educate for survival, as Dr.
Rafferty fears.
It will be a favor to our child
ren and to our United States if
you will think over Dr. Rafferty’s
speech and discuss with other en
lightened citizens and educators
what can be done to ‘preserve this
lovely land of ours as it once was
and — please, God — will yet be
again; a nation fit for heroes—
serene in the knowledge of our
past—confident and ready’.”
I hardly need to quote from Dr.
Rafferty, for Mi*. Regnery has
covered the ground very impress
ively in few words.
Quoting from Dr. Rafferty’s ad
dress in California: Speaking of
Nathan Hale, who was hanged by
the British as a spy during the
Revolution, it is recalled that he
: suffered martyrdom, declaring his
regret that he had but one life
to lay down for his country, Dr.
; Rafferty compares that with some
j recent surrenders by Americans.
“Nathan Hale could have blam
ed George Washington, I suppose.
He might even have had a chance
to save his neck. Perhaps it’s just
as well that stone ears can’t
hear, nor stone eyes see, nor a
stone heart beat heavily with
shame for one’s country men.”
“These spineless, luxury-loving,
spiritless creeps came right out
of our classrooms. Fifteen years
ago they were in our kindergar
tens. They went on our field trips
to the bakery, and danced around
I ribboned poles at our May festi
vals. Only about nine years ago,
they were studying something
called ‘social living’ in some of our
seventh grades. They were test
ed and guided and motivated. They
were ‘adjusted to their peer
groups’. They were taught that
competition was bad, and coop
eration was supremely good. They
were told little about democratic
capitalism, and that little was us
ually taught with a curled lip.
They were persuaded that the
world was very shortly to become
one big happy family with every
one loving everyone else. They
were taught to be kinl, and demo
cratic and peaceful.
These last are praiseworthy
goals. What went wrong?
There were two things, you
see, that we didn’t teach them.
And oh, how they needed to learn
these!
One was that most of the in
habitants of this big bad-temper
ed, battling planet hate our Am
erican insides. This is hard to
teach, and unpleasant to learn.
It is the £ J mple truth, neverthe
less.
1 The other thing should have
been sublimely simple for us to
get across to the children entrust
ed to our care. It was to teach
them every day in every necessary
way to memorize and to believe
and to live Decatur’s great toast:
‘Our County! In her entercourse
with foreign nations, may she al
ways be right but our country,
right or wrong!’
Had they been taught to love
their country with the same pas
sion that inspired other genera
tions of American youth, they
would not now be wondering what
all the fuss is about. They would
know that their country was in
danger, and that would be en
ough. It was enough in 1917 and
1941. It’s not enough today. Too
many of the mneither know noi
Not a Penny Lost...
(1934-1962)
Since 1934, when Congress established the
Fedral Savings and Loan Insurance Corpora
tion, no one has ever lost a penny in an Insured
Savings Account at any of America's FSLIC—

ours.

care.
It’s our fault, and this is what
frightens me. What will history
have to say of my generation of
educators—the generation of the
30s, the 40s and the 60s. We are
so busy educating for ‘life ad
justment’ that we forgot to edu
cate for survival. Worse, still, we
forgot that the first duty of a
nation’s schools is to preserve that
nation. Words that America had
treasured as a rich legacy, that
should be sounded like trumpet
calls above the clash of arms and
the fury of debate, we allowed to
fade from the classrooms and the
consciousness of the pupils.
‘Liberty and Union, now and
forever, one and inseparable’.
‘We have met the enemy, and
they are ours.’
Millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribute.’
Our sin was greater than this,
however. Patriotism feeds upon
hero-worship, and we decided to
abolish heroes. Even the nursery
rhymes, poor innocent things be-
' loved by generations of children
and which had come down to us
from time immemorial, were pro
nounced too ‘violent’ and ‘sordid’
for the children to hear until af
ter we had tinkered with them.
Teach them grand old songs.
How long has it been since Cali-
xornia clrldren learned to sing
‘Columbia, the Gem of the Oc
ean?’ Anw why was it dropped?
Because someone—probably in
the State department of Education
—decided the lines which end,
‘The Army and Navy forever!
Three cheers for the Red, White
and Blue!’ were hopelessly out of
place in our brave new world of
foreign aid and peaceful coexist
ence and collaboration. I say that
we had better thank God for the
Army and Navy! And—with half
the world at our throats—we had
better teach our children that it
is not a disgrace, but a priceless
privilege, to wear our country’s
uniform!
No wonder so many of them
Welch out and squeal and turn
traitor when confronted with the
brutal reality of Red military
force and the crafty cunning of
Red psychological warefare.”
I need not comment further.
What I‘ve quoted is the sad
.truth: Much of our so-called ed-
- ucation is just a lot of piffle, over
elaboration of side-issues and “tri
fles.”
“Life is real, life is earnest”
and to quote again “Let us then
be up and doing, with a heart for
any fate; still achieving, still pur
suing, Learn to labor and to wait.
In the long ago, we learned such
things as that. Not now, however,
today what do we learn? I ask
you.
Over in France I lectured to the
boys about the background of the
war and our American history.
Not so, this most recent war.
There was no General Pershing
this time, although McArthur is a
patriot.
May we lawfully cite a Gover
nor for contempt and bring him to
trial in Federal court? Under the
present Supreme Court, and with
such Judges as come to the bench
with virtually no training in con
stitutional law,, anything may be
done. But! If a Congressman or
State Legislator may not be ar
rested during the sessions except
for Breach of Peace—how can a
Governor be arrested ? He is al
ways on duty, in session, as it
were. Furthermore, a Governor
embodies the Sovereign dignity of
a sovereign state. Can a Federal
Court arrest and remove a sover
eign ? Under our practice we may
not arrest and imprison the hum
blest member of a foreign embas
sy on our soil. How much more an
act of physical violence, a personal
affair and a governor can only be
reached by impeachment. By par
ity of reasoning a Mississippi
court might cite the President for
participating in unlawful, uncon
stitutional practices and for in
stigating riots and grave breaches
of the peace in Mississippi. What
is good for the goose is good for
the gander. This reasoning would
not impress the Kennedy regime,
for it is autocratic, Caesar come
back. And the numerous Sycoph
ants, like old Pilate, tremble if
one says “Thou art no friend of
Caesar.” That swept Pilate off
his feet. We must all bow to all
the Kennedys. The Constitution of
the United States prescribes that
a member of Congress “Shall be
privileged from arrest during at
tendance of the session of Cong
ress, and in going to and return
ing from sessions of Congress.
And shall not be questioned in any
place for any speech or debate in
Congress.
I submit that a Governor is
always on duty and is not subject
to arrest even for such a thing as
breach of the peace (physical vio
lence, that means), nor may he be
arrested for whatever he says as
Governor for he has greater of-
fical dignity and preeminence than
any member of Congress. He is
clothed with the majesty of his
sovereign office and is beyond ac
tion save by impeachment. Only by
impeachment of his own legisla
ture can a Governor be subjected

It is fairly common to hear of
record-sized fish being lost every
year because of some weakened
connection between angler and
fish. There are times when this
1 cannot be prevented, but, if the
truth were known, loss of the ma
jority of game fish could be at
tributed to neglected equipment
and not to ill-made gear. This
apparent neglect of fishing tackle
is usually quite widespread with
salt-water equipment and, un
doubtedly, it accounts for the large
amount of tackle that is replaced
each season. Good fishing tackle
should give many years of ex
cellent service, provided it rec
eives a little attention after being
used. It may be true that certain
anglers are somewhat neglectful
of and indifferent to keeping their
gear in tip-top shape, but it is
hard to find an excuse for any
sportsman, who may spend a
considerable amount of money for
equipment and a fishing trip, be
ing foolish enough not to check his
tackle beforehand. If you are
planning a fishing vacation in the
near future, or for this coming
season, now is the time of year
to repair a looserod winding, re
place worn guides and check tack
le.
It is shameful how many times
good-sized fish have been lost as
a result of using old, frayed lines.
The usual alibi you hear is “The
line was good the last time I used
it,” but you never hear if the last
time was one year or five years
ago. Line is a very vital item of
equipment and, regardless of how
little you may fish, it should be
reolaced periodically to insure
success.
The reason why fishing lines
will often fail at a critical mo
ment, in the opinion of Robert D.
Hall, Salt-Water Editor, Sports
Afield Magazine, is usually be
cause of their being worn or
frayed, or because of improperly
tied knots. One of the n)ost com
mon causes for line failure is a
worn rod top with a line groove,
which will create a surprising am
ount of damage to a new line. The
average stainless steel tops are
not hard enough to withstand the
modem line, such as Dacron, ny
lon or monofilament. Rod mount
ings can be replaced with ones
