The test of good citizenship is loyalty to country.
From Bainbridge Colby
An intelligent and conscientious opposition is a part of loyalty to country.
I am deeply concerned with the diminution of the teaching strength of the country as a result of the disproportionately low salaries that are paid to teachers throughout the country.
Loyalty will not permit envy, hate, and uncharitableness to creep into our public thinking.
The social and industrial structure of America is founded upon an enlightened citizenship.
And one cannot discharge the duty of loyalty without the patient and an open minded study of the institution that marked the country and defined its character.
Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson.
America stands for individual liberty, but that means an ordered liberty.
It is a high patriotic duty that we support and sustain the men who have been placed in position of difficulty, burden, responsibility, and even danger as the result of our suffrages.
That does not mean that we must forego just and fair criticism, or refrain from opposition to policies which are debatable or which do not command our approval.
