Show H CULTIVATE PUBLIC-SPIRITEDNESS. IRON County is one of the best spots on earth, and is chock full of opportunities and possibili- Hi ties. If it is not as prosperous as it ought to be, j it is largely the fault of the people themselves. Hl One thing we must cultivate is unanimity and H community spirit. We must realize that what is H for the public weal also benefits the individual in HT iX ar greater degree than the average person sup- poses. We are all selfish and it is right and proper K that we should be, under existing social condi- pH tions, but what we want to avoid is that narrow, ffijl f short-sighted brand of selfishness, which is more Wjffl a result of ignorance and mistrust than anything jw else. It is one mission of our schools and our Kp newspapers to correct this condition. Selfish- fness which seeks to benefit individuals at the expense ex-pense of the communities should be frowned down. It is as a millstone about the neck of our public progress. Be loyal, be enterprising, 'be. public-1 public-1 spjrited. |
