HE MAKES REPLY
Mias Wright and the Seward Gate
way:— I don't know where my son
gets any of his ideas. The English
flag is to me, if you must know, a
very beautiful one. But my opinion
and yours and that of all the world
shall have nothing to do with the
forming of my soh*k judgement. Now
adays, you know, we have chikfren
and I have four - have come to have
reverence for the nature of a child.
You who are not on an isolated island
ia the . companionship of a
child of your own; and you can know
relatively little of the subtle beauties
of a child’s nature. Moreover as a
public school teacher you are doubt
less further limited in sympathy by
the unfortunate and outworn princi
ples of public school instruction. List
en to me, for here's a bit of wisdom of
more value than all the normal school
has had to teach. There is no one
thing so precious in a child as inde
pendence of spirit. The power of a
child to think for himself and the
courage to stick to his convictions, in
the face of a bullying teacher and a
crowd of children, THAT comes near
er to being the very soul of fine man
hood and true Americanism than nil
the procelytising of public school
from now on to the end of time can
form. Suppress your impulse to stride
a child,— and right there a very ser
ious “Menace of Kaiserism” and bru
tality ends.
The war is over. For all of us the
business of hating should end. Unless
we desire in the world a long period
of senseless rancour such as followed
our Civil war of North and South we’
ll let no child hate any nation or anv
people. If the Bchool fails ndw to teach
forgetfullness of war the school is no
place for innocent”children. I think
that my little son has been kept out of
the world enough to still be innocent to
the sentiments of the disgusting, Ger
man hymn of hate or any other.
Aa to your letter, so unfortunately
personal, it haa received my attention
only because of the importance the
Seward Gateway appears to have at
tached to it On the eve of my depart
ure it has taken a school teacher from
Indiana to furnish me with one reason
why a man with children to educate
should not return Co Seward.

well Kent is published as a reply to a
very pointed, well written and lojtfcaT
query Miss Wright made in yester
day's Gateway to a former commun

pianistic also considered progandistir
Today’s contribution is given only as
a matter of fairness, and without edi
