How many, because they will not blindly follow the dictates of the state, are going to be deprived of higher learning? 1 I am well aware that criticism is ! many times only the ireful expre^ sidn of a sluggish mind, which, having seized swiftly upon a con clusion, elects to attack the deci sions of others in preference to slowing down and thinkihg the sit- j uatioh over again. When such <**pressions as mine are made in- reference to an offi cial decision, and in this case an order, of the state, the suspicion of disloyalty is in the making, is it not? i But let the State be spared such fear, for I am not disloyal—nor am I displaying disloyalty, by inaking use of the democratic right of freedom of speech to say I think compulsory signing of a loyalty pledge is idiotic?
