011 'Z P64145 I am your flag. Men have lived for me, and have willingly given their lives for me. A piece of cloth, dyes of red and blue, silken threads, and careful stitches: of these alone am I composed. Yet I cause many hearts to beat with pride: I take the bitterness out of defeat, I lull the joy into victory. I am the despair of those who hate meg and the glory of those who love me. In I777 l was made, and inter- woven with the Sl2ll'S was my heart: a heart composed of the spirit of thirteen colonies united in a common belief. Rich and poor, young and old, weak and strong, all come to me seeking this freedom, I receive them. To me their clouded eyes are lifted, to shine forth later with a new light. .Ns free as the murmur of a teasing sunnner breeze, and as free as the whirl of surging waters am I. Controlled not by any ism except Americanismg ruled not by one but by manyg this is my government. I was at Marathon, Tours, Hastings, and Orleans. I was not seen, nor even dreamed of, but I was in the process of formation. Steadily, dreams ceased to be visions and became realities. In I492, IGU7, 1776, l789, l850, ISG3, 1918. and I9-ll: these dates blaze forth from the panorama of history: for each of them strengthened my foundation, helped to make a glorious nation. Lastly, I am peace. I am not a camourlaged peace, nor a peace at any cost, but one bring- ing great happiness. It is this peace that causes me to lift my spirit heavenward in prayer to the Prince ol' Peace, to furl my banners proudly. to rejoice that I em- body the noble ideals of your country, that I symbolize America.

Following out the command of her Founder, the Church began the arduous task of educating the entire world, and for two thousand years, with ever-increasing wisdom born of God, she has faithfully perpetuated these instructions. She more than ful- fills her purpose today. Emerging from the Apostolic era, the monks pleaded, Mary, seat of Wfisdom, pray for us, while toiling over their manuscripts in the early dawn of Medievalism. YVith the invention of the printing press, the sun ascended until it illumi- nated the whole world with its flame. Crusades, discoveries, wars, and devas- tations continued, but, through the chaos, the culture of the Church ad- vanced, age upon age. Her art and philosophy have never been surpassed. A striking example of the necessity of a Christian education is to be found in Wfashingtonfs farewell speech when he declared that religion is a funda- mental ingredient for Democracy, if this is true, then America has no better friend than the Catholic School. The Catholic School inculcates the neces- sary lessons of Democracy, respect of law, reverence for lawful authority, and a deep sense of civic duty. From the distant Poles to the gay Southland, and from the industrial East to the stretch- ing plains of the YVest, the result of Catholic education and Catholic De- mocracy may be found. The Church blazed the trails long before any Daniel Booties or David Crocketts came into being. Missionaries, armed only with their love for God and for fellowmen, left the trodden path, and veered from sheltered towns to unknown lands, which eventually led to the settlement of a great country. This is the type of education which is the mainstay of the nation, for we believe that the busi- ness of true education is to cultivate and to strengthen man's body and soul, mind and heart, and conscience. The Catholic school is the nationls strong- est defense, its firmest prop, its most faithful ally.
