Patriotism and the flag in public schooling remarks
Dr. Knight argues that true patriotism in schools should train intelligent, service-minded youth. He contrasts harmful soon-to-be-explosive patriotism with a disciplined form tied to home, nation, and aiding in feeding and clothing the race. He links President Wilson's April address to America's divine mission for peace and justice.
