LOYALTY In recent years the term loyalty has been used, confused, and abused. It has been a test of fitness for government service; it has been a test of character for prisoners of war; it has been a test of worthiness of teachers in the schools; and it has been applied to students as a prerequisite to entering those schools. All of these ideas imply that loyalty is pertinent to good citizenship in the small or large community of which a person is a part. We easily under- stand loyalty to a friend to mean protecting his name and reputation and helping him when he needs help. We would also wish to develop in our students further realization that loyalty means active par- ticipation in achieving the highest goals that we set in our schools, businesses, and governments; that for every criticism there should be a constructive suggestion offered with courtesy and in sincerity; and that loyalty requires a strong character based on honesty, faith, and a deep understanding of the needs of humanity.
