to this a carefully cultivated sense of gratitude, and the country will be safe in the hands of its citizens. In past years much has been said of the privileges of our land. The time has come when we must emphasize the DUTIES of the people to the government that makes possible those great privileges. Teachers and parents of America, it’s up to YOU.

It is near treason for Republicans to take any action looking towards the pro- motion of party interests, or strengthening the organization in support of the principles for which the Republican party long has stood. But Demo- crats are free to pursue their partisan activity in preparation for partisan contests in 1918 and 1920. The latest move on the part of the Democratic committee is the divi- sion of the states into eight districts or zones, arranged chiefly upon geo- graphical lines. Just what the purpose of this is remains to be seen. By breaking the organization up into smaller units, the administra- Keep your eye peeled for the price-boosting hog. sleepeth.

There are numerous particulars in which the administration policies have been || largely beneficial to the states that can be depended upon to go Demo- || cratic, regardless of candidates or issues. It is quite probable, therefore, that the administration will find it necessary to put up in one section of country arguments radically different from those advanced in another sec- tion.

Ignorance of American ideals, traditions and principles. Ignorance of the plain duty of every citiezn of a beneficient government to preserve and defend the institutions of that government. In the schools of this country from this time on, a department of practical patriotism should have foremost place. Love of country is not all hereditary. A practical knowledge of all that our country and our government stands for in the lives of its citizens is essential to the devel- opment of the highest type of patriotic citizenship. It is not enough that a people should have a sentimental love for the soil that bred them. Thousands of aliens within our borders, now loyal citizens of our country, have this love. -It is noticeable, however, that this does not detract from their full allegiance to the government that has received and nurtured them. There must be more than this to make up the true American type. There must be first knowledge—a full realization of the superiority of our institutions; a full appreciation of the great benefits that we as INDI- VIDUALS have received and are continually receiving from them.
