An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country.

Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking.

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.

We must be loyal to the forum of our government.

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.

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.

Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson.
