An Editorial
J. W. WOOD
Are law and order being thrown out the window? Are they
old-fashioned? The answer to both these questions should be no.
For 115 years, Texas has strived to give its young the kind
of education that includes much more than just “book learning.”
And, because this “something more”is so important, Masonic
Lodges across the state banded together to implement the pro-
motion of our public schools. But, they need help. Your help!
Only through you can the schools begin to teach our young-
sters that authority and law and order are not necessarily
synonymous with tyranny and dictatorship, but that only through
education do they not become these things.
Law and order is a way of life. A good way of life, because
all living things are born out of and live out their life patterns
in an order.
Let us educate our children to the fact that they are respon-
sible for the kind of future they and their families will enjoy.
Let us help them to understand the importance that books, class-
rooms, and study hold for them. Let us appreciate and support
our public schools in Texas.
But don’t support and appreciate them silently. Speak out.
Visit a public school in your community March 3rd through 7th.
It will be a rewarding experience for you, and a living example
for your child.
Keep taw and order in the hands, hearts and minds of our
children. Support your public schools so they can support you.
