l MR. PAUL T. SELLERS SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Let ns have faith that Right Makes Might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as 'we understand it. Abraham Lincoln Character when motivated by a high religion is the one element that deter- mines the progress of a nation or a civilization. The kind of religion that functions in the daily lives of a people through ideals of generosity of spirit, of sacrifice for the general welfare, of honor, duty, patience, courage and humility, of kind- ness, understanding, industry, and conciliation will sustain us through the trying periods both of adversity and of prosperity, and maintain the continuity of the long march of progress and greatness of our institutions and our country. Huge- ness in area, resources, population and military power may provide a temporary moving inertia, but only this kind of character can sustain a true greatness in our people. 'i Paul T. Sellers Page 5
