Today and Tomorrow
by FRANK PARKER STOCKBRIDGE
CREED . ~. freedom
Mrs. Herbert Lehman, wife of
the Governor of New York, has
written a set of “ten command,
ments” which seem to me to con
tain such important advice to
young Americans—and older one9,
too—that at the risk of taking
up too much of my allotted space
I want to print them for every
one to read. Here they are:
1. Tell the truth. This pro
cedure is only possible in a de
mocracy where there is a free
and unregimented press.
2. Treat all men as you would
wish to be treated. Observance
of this principle would mean a
repudiation of all false ideas of
race superiority, of race or class
hatred, and of group warfare.
3. Respect the sincere religious
belief of every man, even when
you do not happen to share them.
This is basic for all those who
hold to the idea on which America
is founded.
4. Help those who suffer and
are persecuted because of their
beliefs or their racial heritage.
5. Try to preserve the demo
cratic heritage of equal oppor
tunity for all men bo learn and
to earn.
6. Remember that freedom of
opinion lies at the very basis of
democracy and human liberty.
7. Distrust all those who sow
j hatred of other men.
' 8. Respect the law, for it is
the guarantee of your own free
dom.
9. Remember that America is
not merely a country; it is an
ideal for the whole world.
10. Remember that the hope of
the world lies in peace and in
justice to mankind'.
DEMOCRACY . . . survival
Mrs. Lehman’s “commandments”
sum up the whole essentials of
democracy. As she expressed it,
these modern principles of human

In August, 1914, Louis K. Liggett, Presi dent of United Drug Company, announc

relations are based upon the only
concept undex which democracy
can function, the universal recog
nition of the Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood <of Man.
There is no other basis upon
which democracy can survive. The
fundamental principle of our form
of government is that no
man is entitled to rule other men,
except by their permission, and
then only so long as the people
accept his leadership.
Under such a government there
can be no unity unless the great
majority of the people look be
yond human leadership and., de
liberately or instinctively, look to
God for the final decisions on pub
lic questions. Only a God-guided
world can ever be an entirely
peaceful and happy world for
everybody.
EDUCATION .... liberty
Next to general acceptance of
the elemental principles of re
ligion, the most important factor
in making democracy function is
education.
Neither America nor any other
natron can ever reach the goal of
complete liberty of the individual
unless and until every individual
citizen has had the best edu
cation he or she is able to ab
sorb.
Questioning whether our pres
ent educational system, on tho
whole really trains children to bi
ccn:e citizens of a democracy, the
Survey Giaphic points out that
there are 800,000 children in the
United States who do not attend
school, either becafise they live
where there are no schools or be
cause of fam'ly poverty.
I have long believed teachers
are underpaid, The best is npne
too good for the children who
are growing up today. No more
serious crime against democracy
can be committed than the false
! economy which leads states and
communities to cut down on
school expenditures.
We are too prone to regard
teachers as merely “hired help”
and reluctant to pay them enough
to establish their professional and
i economic status on a par with
i doctors and business men.
I TEACHERS . . . inspiration
The trouble with our education
al system is that there are too
few first-rate teachers. There
never have been, at any time in
history, enough really great teach.
. ers.
Contact with one great teacher
for a year or two in a child’s
formative years may do moTe for
a boy or girl than years of for
mal schooling. Many men have
risen to greatness without edu
cation, nut only if they have
been directed in youth to ways
of educating themselves.
Great teachers are never for
l gotten The memory of Mark
Hopkins, the farmer’s son who
Became president of Williams
College, is preserved in Presi
dent Garfield’s tribute. “A boy
on one end of a log and Mark
Hopkins On the other would be
a greater educational institution
than aio't of the colleges.”
Not long ago I saw the great
play, “Abe Lincoln in Illinois.”
The opening scene shows the raw
boned country boy patiently lis
tening to instruction from a truly
great teacher. Lincoln had only
a year or two of schooling, yet
he became a truly educated man,
because of that early contact with
a teacher who inspired him. He
learned to think and how to find
the meaning of life for himself.
I know that I owe whatever I
have acquired in the way of edu
cation more to tw,o such inspir
ing teachers in my high-school
days than to anything I got from
the formal school courses.
After a wild
automobde chase
over wining road
—State trooper E. D. Helms,
Galax, apprehended a car
loaded with 16 gallants of
liquor, about three o’clock
Monday afternoon, near Indepen
dence.
Helms said he sighted the car
near the Virginia-North Carolina
line on route 21, between In
dependence and Sparta, N. C. He
gave chase and overtook the car
near Independence. Helms said
much of the liquor, which had
been in glass containers, was de
stroyed during the chase.
The state trooper said that he
arrested Roy Conklin and hia
brother, Clina, occupants of the
car, and lodged them in the
Wytheville jail to be turned over
to federal authorities. A third
occupant of the car escaped,
Helms said.
A hearing for the Conklin
brothers will be held in Wythe
ville tomorrow (Friday) morning.
An adequate
national defense
was advocated
—in Greenville Mon. night
by newly-installed State
| Commander Junius H. Rose,
of the North Carolina De
partment of the American Legion,
in his inaugural speech.
“We want to build our own
national defense to the point
where it is adequate; we want a
decent-sized standing army and
a navy in both oceans for the
purpose of protecting our shores
and outlying possessions,” he said.
Sparta High School News
The Home Economics Depart
ment of Sparta High School pre
sented the chapel program at the
chapel hour on Tuesday morning.
The girls displayed their garments
that they had made in class. The
First-Year class showed aprons,
while the Second-Year class show
ed various types of cotton dresses.
The First-Year class, consisting of
34, marched onto the stage in
j pairs, to the tune of “pack up
your dishes.” When the entire
class had assembled on the stage,
they sang “pack up your dishes,”
! which was appropriate for the
' apron scene.
| One group of Second-Year stu
i dents presented a scene as mod
e's in a department store, while
the other group of Second-Year
students presented the “Man of
the Street Program,” with one
student acting as announcer. Dur
ing the broadcast highlights were
given on fall colors, fashions and
fabrics.
This style show created a great
deal of interest in the department,
since it was the first program of
its type to be given in this school.
Under the supervision of Miss
Faulk, the students have done an
excellent piece of work. We feel
that it is a step toward creating
further interest in this phase of
school work. We were glad to see
a number of patrons present at
the program and appreciate their
interest.
