Much is to be said on both sides. It is to be admitted that the girls and boys of today enjoy greater freedom than did their mothers and their fathers. and often times they abuse that freedom." The speaker urged that‘an ef- fort be made to instill such patriot- ism into the hearts of the young men and women of today that they will live and conduct themselves with an eye to the future of the American race. He said we must instill such chivalry in our young men that they will regard all womanhood in act. thought and suggestion as they would their mo- there or sisters.
