And almost without exception it is the mother who plants patriotism in the mind of the child.

It is her duty.

The growth of patriotism is first of all in the hands of the women of any nation.

In the last analysis it is the mothers of a nation who direct that nation's destiny.
The fundamental task of patriotism is to see to it that the Nation exists and endures in honor, security, and well-being.

Fortunately there is no question as to our existing in honor, and little if any as to our continuing to exist in security.
The great fundamental problem which confronts us all now is this: Shall we continue, as a Nation, to exist in well-being?
That is the conservation problem.
If we are to have prosperity in this country, it will be because we have an abundance of natural resources available for the citizen.
