develop the most tender qualities of loyalty to
tho old veterans who are growing feeble with
age and should now give way to our boys and
girls and encourage them to do the marching
and decorating while the h0nored veteran takes
his place in line among the reviewing officers,
and the youth take their irst lesson in honor
ing the living and memorializiDg the dead.
