Yet all activities will go more smoothly if we take time out for serious thinking and meditation. Many people consider this ridiculous, but we often discover for ourselves that when things go wrong, we have to take time out to straighten things which have become bent. This applies in a very practical way to our schools. We often joke about them in such a way as to imply that we could get along very well without them, Ue all realize that this is not so.

The number one duty of any true American citizen is his responsibility of voting. It is not only a duty but a great privilege of which no one should fail to avail himself. If you are too young to vote, your greatest value in this matter is to interest others and tell them of their responsibility. I Of course, the two remaining institutions are closely related. If the family of the home is devout in their worship of God, they will naturally seek a church. This also is a true American heritage. In God we have a true friend, and we should always keep that in mind. Freedom of worship is one of our greatest possessions.

We should never allow any alien force to ggt a foothold in our country and must strive to keep it strong and free as long as we live.
