I believe that you, like me, must get a great elevation of
spirit in hearing the expressions by these young peoole of the ideals
and the ideas for which this country stands I am sure, too, that you,
the adult members of this audience, feel very humble. I am sure you
feel some soul-searching is necessary to discover to what extent we
live up to these high ideals. I never leave this meeting without feel-
ing a great deal of satisfaction and great sense of security with respect
to the future of this great country. The other members of this audience
will forgive an educator if he says that in a small way he gets a per-
sonal satisfaction out of being associated with a profession which,
to be sure, is not entirely responsible for these performances because
it shares that responsibility with the church and the home, but which
nevertheless has these young people in hand for a large portion of
their daily lives. I feel, when I hear these statements, that the school
teachers of the Nation are doing a pretty good job in perpetuating the
traditions and the ideals of our country. For you I express to these
two young ladies and young gentlemen a great admiration for what they have
done and through them to a million and a half others. And I am sure
that I on their behalf express their gratitude for the distinguished group
that has come to meet with us here today.
