Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson. |
Thus, only in a hopeful and confident temper, in a proud and constructive spirit, will we rescue the present and safeguard the future of our beloved country. |
That does not mean that we must forego just and fair criticism, or refrain from opposition to policies which are debatable or which do not command our approval. |
The test of good citizenship is loyalty to country. |
A liberty subject to law and subordinate to the common welfare. |
I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country. |
We must stifle the voice of hatred and faction. |
An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country. |
Like pictures, men should be judged by their merits and not by their defects. |
America stands for individual liberty, but that means an ordered liberty. |
But we must not, if we are loyal, disperse our energies in a partisan warfare that is waged without regard to its consequences to the well being, security, or honor of the country. |
The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship. |
We must be loyal to the forum of our government. |
It is a high patriotic duty that we support and sustain the men who have been placed in position of difficulty, burden, responsibility, and even danger as the result of our suffrages. |
Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking. |
And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character. |
