16 The High School Herald EDITORIAL During this month, commencement exercises are being held all over the country. New hordes of young men and women are pouring forth into society. These men, who have many different interests and ambitions, should have one thought in common—their gratitude for living in the United States. Recently air maneuvers were held here in New England. In several newspapers, maps were published shewing vital areas of many of the important cities in the New England sector. In what other countries of the world would such information be allowed to be published? Certainly not in Germany, Russia, Italy, or Japan. These graduates are entering into citizenship in a country where liberty is universal and free. For that reason, together with numerous others, they should be grateful that they live in a country where they can say what they want and what they believe to be right and just. ® ® ® TRIBUTUM AD FEMINAS Millions and millions of years ago, a miracle was born: Eve was created from the rib of Adam. Down through the ages, from prehistoric times to today, the results of that miracle can be readily discerned. Woman has been, is, and always will be the true ruler of the world. Everybody knows the understanding, the patience, the devotion of a mother. Every¬ body knows the gaiety, the buoyancy, the love of a maiden. Women have sacrificed themselves through eternity upon the altar of devotion to man. They have consecrated their lives to just one object: love—love cf country; of their fellow beings; of their children; and above all, of their man. In this all-consuming devotion, they have lost themselves. All their desires, their ambitions are subordinated to this one devotion. In this, they have succeeded admirably, overcoming all obstacles, and all hindrances. Today, they stand forth exemplifying the best that is in life, an example of what all mankind should strive to imitate. I say imitate, for it is not in the power of man to duplicate anything so wonderful as woman. No greater tribute can I pay to the womanhood of the world than this eloquent inscription placed by a man upon the tombstone of his wife: She touched the soil of Virginia with her little foot, and the wilderness became a home.”
