The com mmander-in-chief was then intro
duced and was greeted with three rousing
cheers. He said that it needed not the
words of Comrade Walling TO remind him
that ne was welcome to the land of health,
climate, fruit and flowers and most beauti-
ful women.
He then referred to the generous hos
-
Army at the time the Grand Encamp-
ment was held, a hospitality that cam OF
be forgotten.
He then spoke of his visit to the South
ern States, where he talked patriotism,
and said that he has not spoken to more
enthusiastic audiences than he did to
those in the Southern States he v sited.
He then spoke of Mckinley, who, he
said, "is one OF US" and prophe sled that
he twill raise the country out of the
slough of desp nd into which it has of
late years fallen"; but to do this all must
stand shoulder to shoulder by the head of
I the Government.
He then urged the necessity of teaching
the children patriotism and military in
struction in the schools. He said that the
time has come when there should be a
change in the history of the war that is
taught in the publ schools, and that he
will urge at the next National Encamp-
ment that the Grand Army have a history
introduced in the schools that will tell the
truth about the war at least.

There seems to b. possibility that

possibility that the United States may

sinks to the bottom of the sen before
