THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA
The Spirit of America is tile spir- j
it of the people who have made
America. It is the spirit that has j
changed a vast wilderness of three [
hundred years ago into the greati
est nation on earth todu.v?"the land
ol'the free, and the home of the
brave." Fortunate, indeed, is the
hoy or girl who. eat! grow up in j
America, enjoy the privileges und j
opportunities she has to offer, an 1
possesses the the spirit of her
makers.
The American wtiy of life exalts
the individual rather., than the;
group. The first settlers in America j
came because Jhey wanted to live j
their own lives as individuals, be-!
ing, responsible only to (lot! and
their neighbors. These people wunt
ed to worship God as they pleased.
i in v warned tiieir own nomes,
their own schools, and an tndepend
.eat means of supporting themselves
so that, they could live thei.r own
lives in their own way.
When we think of the difficulties
rind hardships they had to . overcome
to gain these things, we nut-1
ttrnlly wonder about the nature of j
these people. What were the char- j
acteristics that made them successful?
First of all. these early American i
settlers t>ossessed the twin spirits j
of the pioneer and the builder. The,
pioneer spirit brought the first col-1
ouists across the'stormy Atlantic to]
the shores of a wild aud unsettled
Itltitl Tim ftiottitoe cttii'it uihi I toenfl
? l?U |flVUCVI iO|MI >v jVV'I IV I V. ?l
these people from Maine to Florida.
It took the colonists westward, across
dangerous rivers, lonely prar
ies, and rugged mountains unlit
they reached the sea. But not even
then were they stopped. The spirit
of the builder made them build rail
I roads, cities, and industries, an dc
| velop our great supply of natural
resources.
| These twiu spirits of the pioneer
and the builder are the outward ev
1 idence of the courage and the high
moral standards of our forefathers.
"The Spirit of the Pioneer" and
"The Spirit of '76" were the same,
i- As the thirteen colonies grew and
| prospered the mother country bur*
I dened them with taxation and de!
tiled them representation in their
' own government. On July 4 1776,
lour courageous forefathers set down
their beliefs in the immortal Dec*
laration of Independence in these
! words, "We hold these truths to be
I self-evident, that all men., are ere*
i ated equal, that they are endowed
by their creator with certain unallI
enable Rights, that among these are
i Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness." And they pledged each
other to support this Declaration
with, "our Lives, our Fortunes, and
our sacred Honor." The Revolutionary
War gives us the story of
thirteen struggling colonies fightiug
hopefully and courageously to
victory against great odds. * The
sfory of the writiug or the constitution
\nd the beginning of our sys
tern of government impresses us
with the wisdom and bravery of
those men who worked out the
plaus and put them into operation.
The spirit of courage . In Americans
has shown itself iu their willingness
to take long chances for
big wluniugs and to take Success or
defeat in the spirit of good sportsmanship.
Why is it that American?
have given to the world some of
the most outstanding ' scientific dla
covdrles and industrial developments?
Why was it left to Bell to
invent the telephone? McCormick,
the reaper Whitney, the cotton
gin?. Edison, the electric lights?
The Wright brothers, the airplane"
Was it only by aVldent that, these
inventions were made by Americans?
Certainly not. it was because
these men were willing (o risk theln
tnoney, their reputations, and even
their lives for something that would
benefit others. Why was it men
were willing to finance these inventions
when they had no assurance
of their becoming a success? It was
because they were wilting to risk
fortunes for something they believ-.
od might become of some service -to
the world.'
, Another * truly American chadao
terlstlc is the spirit of personal
worth. It is the lack of pretense or
sham. We value our fellow citizens
by what he is, not who he is, or
now ne got tnat way. yiner nations
have classes where only those of a<
high rank cau hold office and the
prominent people Inherit their positions.
In America the poorest boy
may someday become president.
After all. who is an American? In
the song 'The Ballad of America"
we bear the anrwer. An American
is Boglish, French. Irish, Spanish.
Swedish ? a mixture of all nations
and races. America is truly the
world's melting pot.
The Spirit of America Is our
priceless hertage. If we wish to be
worthy descendants of those noble,
