  • The test of good citizenship is loyalty to country.

  • Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson.

  • And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character.

  • Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking.

  • Thus, only in a hopeful and confident temper, in a proud and constructive spirit, will we rescue the present and safeguard the future of our beloved country.

  • We must be loyal to the forum of our government.

  • That does not mean that we must forego just and fair criticism, or refrain from opposition to policies which are debatable or which do not command our approval.

  • But we must not, if we are loyal, disperse our energies in a partisan warfare that is waged without regard to its consequences to the well being, security, or honor of the country.

  • I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country.

  • An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country.

  • The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship.

  • Like pictures, men should be judged by their merits and not by their defects.

  • A liberty subject to law and subordinate to the common welfare.

  • It is a high patriotic duty that we support and sustain the men who have been placed in position of difficulty, burden, responsibility, and even danger as the result of our suffrages.

  • We must stifle the voice of hatred and faction.

  • America stands for individual liberty, but that means an ordered liberty.
