But the other side of the task of providing our people with the means of ethical advance- ment, the side that has to do with letting them know what loyalty is, and with giving them opportunities to be loyal, this side, I say, of what we ought to do to further the moral prog- ress of our people, is at present v...ery imper- fectly accomplished.
