something from educator John Wesley Hill: What is it that - TopicsExpress



          

something from educator John Wesley Hill: What is it that inspires love of the flag, that tunes the ear of America to sing My Country Tis of Thee? Is it industrial efficiency, irrigation statistics or trade output? Is it the hideous ore dumps of the sordid mining camp? Is it the blackened waste that follows the devastation of much of our forest wealth? Is it the smoking factory of the grimy mill town? Is it even the lofty metropolitan skyscraper that shuts out the sun and throws its shadow over all below? No, our devotion to the flag is inspired by love of country. Patriotism is the religion of the soil, and the national parks are our richest patrimony.
