We've kept our mind free and to that extent are still young. So we don’t have such a bad time, for all you may think to the contrary now. One object of our school system is to train you to become a good citizen. If you persist in keeping your mind free, which can only be done by thinking, you will be a good citizen. There’s nothing any country needs so much as a lot of inde- pendent thinkers. However, we didn’t start out to preach your duty to you, but totell you how you can be reasonably happy. And our advice is: Don’t graduate entirely. ing, at least a little. Keep on think- Coolidge on Freedom j HEN President Coolidge’s thought is unhampered by the pressure of po- litical diplomacy and he gives free rein to his fancy he shows a fondness for ad- venture in the realms of idealism. His address at the Norwegian Centen- nial celebration in Minnesota was non-po- litical and his mind seemed to be having a thoroly good time. Result: An inter- esting address. This particular celebration commem- | orated the arrival of Norwegian immi- grants in 1825, after the successful Amer- ican revolution and the firm establish- ment of the United States as an inde- _pendent nation. Having discoursed on the motives that had prompted earlier immigration to these shores from Europe, largely stim- FREE President Coolidge can devote to no grester crusade than to fight to restore this country ful condition he so eloquently existing in 182: For probably at no time in the history of this country has bigotry and intoler- ance been more vigorously offensive, or religious freedom and intellectual liberty less secure than right now. The Dragon Stirs HE outbreak among the Chinese at Shanghai is the most hopeful symp- tom, and at the same time the most dan- gerous, that China has exhibited within our recollection. The dragon stirs. China is waking up. There is nothing of Boxer fanaticism in this movement against forefgners, either, but rather it is an enlightened notice served on the world and sundry that China has been at the wrong end of the boot almost long enough. That is the hopeful part. The danger- ous element lies in the fact that there are 100,000,000 Chinese and when the dragon is fully awake it may loose a breath of fire and brimstone that will scorch the rid. Two tremendous opposing forces are at work in China, One is foreign greed. The other is education. Foreign interests are exploiting the ignorant masses, driving them as a brutal master would an ox. And when, as now, enough of the workers get up enough spunk to strike for better conditions, they are shot down in an effort to cowe them back into submission. The educated Chinese are trying to lead their suffering compatriots upward out of this degradation. Interested foreigners are opposing every step. They call it bol- shevism when native students tell the ignorant Chinese they ought to fight to himself lead the to the bliss- describes as | better their condition.
