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

Like pictures, men should be judged by their merits and not by their defects.

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.

The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship.

The test of good citizenship is loyalty to 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.

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.
