EDUCATORS HEAR ADDRESS

Visitors Are Moved by Patriotic Utterances

Indianapolis, March 2.—The importance of teaching patriotism in the schools as a means to greater nationalism was the message of United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge last night at Caleb Mills Hall in his address to the National Education Association. "The School and the Nation" was the subject of the address. It was heard with close attention, and freely applauded. "No other spot could have been chosen so fitly for the meeting of the National Education Association as Indiana," said Mr. Beveridge. "It is the heart of the republic. It is the center of population numerically, and its output of authors has attracted the attention and amazement of the world. The latter is a curious circumstance for which there must be a profound reason. It happens that the 3,000,000 people within the borders of the state at this time are more fruitful in literature of interest than any like number of people in the whole world at the present time.

Heart of Republic.

"There are novelists, humorists, educators and scientists. There is Booth Tftrkington and Meredith Nicholson and Charles Major and that amazing mind, whose soul seems so fierce that he has been called the American Balzac, David Graham Phillips. There is James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, whose verses have charmed old and young. There is George Ade and John McCutcheon, and this month there rises another new name which will equal in its brilliancy any that has gone before. You can see his short story in Scribner's this month, and a later publication, his novel, 'The Glory of His Country.' I refer to Frederick Landis. "It is a curious circumstance that Henry Ward Beecher got here in Indianapolis his first inspiration. It is a remarkable fact that this state, which had only about 1,000,000 people within its borders, should send a quarter of a million to the battle field in the civil war. There was one union soldier to every four men, women and children in the state, or a greater portion than Napoleon drew from France for his conquests. "So it happens that these Indiana authors, educators and scientists were born of the period when the state was aroused by the great moral and intellectual upheaval that led to the civil war. It is true of these men wherever they may be, whether as authors, scientists, or like David Starr Jordan, at the head of a great university, they teach citizenship, and citizenship is tonight the theme of my remarks. "I do not feel competent to speak to you of men and women whose whole life is devoted to the philosophy and practice of education. You know far better than I what it means, and yet from my college davs the question always came to me, what is all this education for? Why are they trying to teach me logarithms and Latin? Why try to pound into :ny head chemistry and Greek? It seems to me that the purpose of what we call education is life. It is to make the human beings whom you ladies and gentlemen are teaching al:le to live, to understand C-od's purpose better, to make every breath they clra'v more worth while, to make every herj golden with meaning. Its purpose is nothing more than to make God's children approach their father.

The School and the Nation. "There is one subject that is apt wherever teachers are brought together, and that is the school and the nation. All governments like ours rest upon one thing, or else they fall. It is not upon political machines, not on party bigotry, not on organized wealth, but upon intelligent public opinion, on a trained and instructed conscience, upon a knowledge of what the republic means so clear, and affections so intense, that expectations are worked out In results. The republic, as I see it, is to give human beings the best chgnce to live their lives. If that is true then the maintenance of the republic comes to us, not as a tradition, but as a duty from God. "The working out of the purposes of humanity rests upon three great agencies—the pulpit, the press and the school. When I address you I feel that I am speaking to the field officers of the greatest movement for the interest of the nation that exists, that you are not only training up young minds to understand life, but that you are daily inspiring citizens to preserve and strengthen the republic. "I have heard it said that it is impossible to teach patriotism, that you can't instruct a child in nationality. You can't drill it into his brain and build effective citizenship. All argument Is good argument until you have examples, and we have examples to the contrary._ Germany is today the most wonderful country In the world for nationalism. "Its schools, its industries, its military system, are the subjects of the thought and study of every German mind, and if its universities are teaching one thing more than another it is German nationality and German supremacy. In Japan it Is the same. The children there are taught the ideals and the love of the Land of the Rising Sun and its supremacy. Loyalty to Japan is in every heart, a loyaltj

College Ignorance.

"Some five or six years ago I was going across the water and met three young men from Harvard and one from Yale. Two belonged to Historic families of New England. In a conversation I happened to mention something about Alexander Hamilton. Not one knew about whom I was talking. I mentioned James Madison and found they had heard of Madison Square Garden, and of Wendell Phillips they knew nothing. Yet these young men spoke French and German as fluently as English and were excellent Latin and Greek scholars. So I say there must be something wrong in the development which reaches such learning and yet fails to teach citizenship. "You have got to teach the boys and girls of this country that it is not enough to wait until the call for battle comes and then go forward to die. It is not enough to die for the nation, you have got to live for the nation. In our 100 years of the exercise of suffrage, instead of the number of ballots increasing in proportion to the increase of population, it has been steadily dropping off. The business man is interested in whether or not he is going to make so many dollars and to him the election does not mean much. The common good is of the most importance. It must be taught. Of course I do not know how this is going to be brought about—that is your problem. It certainly can be done. It is being done in Germany and Japan, and more than anything else it should be done if this republic is to remain what it i:s, the greatest experiment in liberty."

Greatest Crowd in Six Years Hear Beveridge's Tribute to Nation's Heroes.

A tribute to the lives and characters of Washington and Lincoln delivered by United States Senator Albert J. Beverid-re thrilled thousands who braved t' rainstorm to attend the Big Meet under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis.

The G. A. R. posts, the Spanish-Am-erican war veterans, the state militia and the Sons of Veterans were special guests shown to places of honor. Old Glory was in evidence in all the decorations. "The names of Washington and Lincoln," said Senator Beveridge^ "spell character not patriotism only, not statesmanship alone, not merely greatness, but above all and leading all these two men meant character. As I shall show you, it was not by greatness of intellect or courage that they accomplished the mission God had given them, but by greatness of character, which made the nation trust them. Perhaps there never was born two men more unlike in ancestry, condition and temperament, and no men ever were born more absolutely the duplicates of one another in that supreme human quality of character. "Washington and Lincoln led bitter lives. There wene only six quiet years in the life of Washington. He was the most harried, wounded and most beset man of history. All during the revolution he had to face not only a foreign foe, but he had to face domestic trouble and treason. Gates, Lee and Conway, for their own purposes, would have betrayed the revolution. We are in the habit of thinking that everybody was a patriot in the revolutionary times, that everybody was unselfish, willing to sacrifice everything for the good of the nation, but that does not happen to be the case. Toward the end of his life, after a series of bitter experiences, he was moved to say: 'Would to God I were in my grave.' "It is a curious thing that the heroes of the race must bear its griefSi Who stands for his fellow men carries the burdens that he lifts from the shoulders of his fellow man. Can anybody show me one example of a man who has fought manfully and devotedly for the good of humankind who has a happy life? doubt not it is true today as in 1776-81, and 1861-65, that whoever stands for the welfare of man must take the stings of those who oppose. So Washington and Lincoln bind our hearts to them in a great human affection, not only because they were great, but because they bore the burdens they lifted from us. "Both Washington and Lincoln were nationalists. Both were for the nation as against the destroying spirit of the locality. Both were for the nation, because, as Washington said, the cause of this nation we are striving to create is the cause of mankind. Lincoln said we are fighting to save the nation because we are fighting for humanity. It does not make much difference whether the nation be one form of government or another the one great and final question is which form can do most for human beings. The est sentiai thing is that everybody shall be citizens of one republic before thaf are citizens gf one locality.

which makes them not only willing but eager to die for Japan. What that nationalism means was .demonstrated in the war with Russia. "I think we are missing that point in our American education. All of us are members of university clubs and have met there some excellent young men, and all of us have found these charming young men scolding about the existing order of things. I have never visited such a place without being told how dirty pontics is, or are. Sometimes I think politics is and sometimes I think they are. But I have never found them willing to gQ out and soil their delicate fingers in an effort to right this thing which they tell us is ruining the republic. I have known young men of the best families and of the best intentions, who would not go to the primaries.
