"If you realize at all", he said, "the responsibility of teachers and the place of the public school in our democratic government, you will undersand more and more that you as teach ers are the bulwark of our democracy." "The tapestry of democracy is a tapestry that has been woven by a divine hand. Its covers are made of the blue emblem of hope, of the red that typifies the martyrs and heroes, and of the white emblem of purity which shows our trust in human nature and the trust with which we reach out and rule our land by common consent. These colors combine to reflects the hues of the rainbow— the rainbow which was once an ancient symbol of the covenant of truth and righteousness on the part of man. That is the tapestry, the web of which was laid by the finger of God; the web which was spun on the spinning wheel of human endurance and human experience. We have come to make this great cloak a democracy which trusts in human nature—in human nature that will establish the law of justice. That is the tapestry of our American democracy."
