DR. McDERMOTT TELLS GRADUATES TEACHING RESPONSIBLE PROFESSION F* ? . sElH gfi| (Continued from p*(e one.) Siiucatinc ?* doomed to failure Make no mistake about it edu cation divorced from charcatet N building U not only a failure but Si menace a* well. Our task ia to pjj produce lit cach feneration an overwhelming number of indi vidual! who will set for them selves high standard* of conduct, and cauift themselves to live up to these You do not get ?uch in dividual* haphazardly or auto matically. You get them only by careful Uain.ng, and each fen eration muit be trained now. "Nest, your mesitage to these young people of our* mint be a patriotic one." Dr. McDermott continued by laying that we have come to think chiefly in term* of what our government will give ua in return for our allegiance, and that our primary concern ha* become pen* ion*, bonusei. grant*, and tpecial privilege*, demanded and won in return for vote*. He *aid that the remedy being offer ed for thi* state of affairs i* more law*, but he believes that laws will not suffice. "A proper ap peal to the patriotic spirit of youth." he said, "mu*t be predi cated on some ground other than mere sentiment. It calls for a sound, rational basis for the en thusiaim and the loyalty we *eek to arou*e. To have a real and lasting patriotiam the youth must understand just why he should love and nerve and preserve his country. That calls for a thor ough knowledge of its history, its institutions, and its ideals. When you have inculcated into the minds and hearts of American youth the history of our Repub lic, the reasons and the vicissi tudes of its founding, its marve lous course down through the years, its meaning in the life of the world. I say when you have rightly told them that story, then the fires of patriotism will be kindled. These young citizens will then begin to realize the privilege that is theirs in living in such a land, and in working to keep it pure and safe. With constant recruits for our citizen ship imbued with tuch a spirit, America can be preserved." Dr. McDermott ended his speech by saying to the gradu ates: "I beg of you, tell the story of America unto the youth of the land. Weave into the warp and woof of their character a love of country that will maaiiest itself in action. Our country is worthy of that kind of love. She is de pendent upon it. Without it she is doomed. And when this cita del of human liberty falls, the lights will go out all over the world. My young friends, the crying need of this hour is not for more laws, more commissions, more regulations, more raw ma Armed Forces Day To Be Featured The Lenoir High School Band of Lenoir, N.
