The first thing we must take
into consideration in speaking
of the principles of Americanism
is the definition or meaning of
Americanism. ‘'Americanism is
American sympathies, nationality
or citizenship; an -\nierican
trait or usage; a word or idiom
considered to have originated
in or gained currency from
American use; in all senses re
ferring particularly to the
United States."
V/e, as American citizens, do
not consider it merely a word
or idiom, or at least, we should
than p.word; it i
us .Democracy,
means much to us,
and pleasures
depend on th^^t one t^ord,"Ameri
canism." It is our very life;
our v;ay of life. We as Americans
Would not sacrifice it for
Russia’s Communism, Russia’s
socialism, Germany’s facism,
or any other "ism" or all of
not. It is more
is a reality to
or Americajiism,
All our freedom
We are the freest and most
independent people in the v^orld,
a.,1 because of our principles of
Democracy,
How manyof us would be willing
to exchange places with people of
^ny other country andtry living
as they do awhile? If we were to
try that, I am sure we would be
more proud of our /unerican v/av
of life.
How can we show our apprecia
tion to the founders of our
-deals? How can we preserve these
ideals? We can show our apprecia
tion for them and preserve them•
by being patriotic and doing our
best during peace time as well as
during war; by learning our
English language and^being able
to use it correctly and force-
by appreciating our laws,
abiding hy them, and enforcing
them; by supporting our nation in
every w«y; by participating in
county, state, and national
elections ,-to keep capable leaders
in office.
If we are proud of being real
Americans let us show it. If we
are not, I am afraid it is beca.use
we have not stopped to think what
it means to us and to all American.
