Think First V HE world is full of discord. On all hands people have risen against the established order. After every prolonged war this upheaval of social conditions takes place and in a war of world extent, it is only natural to expect violent uprisings and their evil consequences to become universal. There is but one safeguard and that is for the thinking people to keep their sanity and to try to extend their soothing influence gradually over the thoughtless and turbulent, to the end that an orderly method of procedure may be re-established. The educated have a special responsibility at such times. Above all others, it is their duty to study, to think, to plan, and to proceed with deliberation. Among them, at any rate, self-control should prevail, and reason, not impulse, hold sway. I wonder whether we in this school as individuals and as an institution, have that thought firmly in mind. Are we fast on the solid ground of right principles, or are we letting the world tide of turbulence sweep us away and carry us like helpless chips upon its surface? These are serious questions which each one of us must decide for himself. As they are decided so will our school be a strong support of our national life or one more internal enemy whose province is to destroy. Bolshevism is already showing its ugly countenance everywhere in America. It is appearing among all classes, kinds, and conditions of people and is for that reason all the more to be feared. It can easily be recognized by what it advocates if one is keen enough to catch its meaning. Every suggestion to destroy, by radical means, established law and order is a manifestation of its presence. If it is allowed to go unchecked it will ruin any institution in which it secures a foothold. We cannot shut our eyes to this menace nor can we ignore its demands. We must make it our business to investigate its complaints, to face them frankly, to study out the right solution, and then to put our conclusions into effect in an orderly manner. You will notice that I lay emphasis upon study because that is supposed to be our principal business and because it is only by giving proper thought that progress can be made without inflicting misery upon innocent people. Action in such matters should always be preceded by careful thinking. I commend these thoughts to you for use in all of your relations, as a child at home, as a pupil in school, and as a citizen of your community. Remember that upon such as you depends the destiny of our nation. if. sr. REF CAL 373 B455o JUNE 1919
