Eugene Field Day.

November will be the second ami
versary of the death of Eugene Field,
and will also be the second Field
Day" in Missouri schools, the day hav-
ing been set apart to perpetuate the
poets memory, and incidentally to help
in the raising of a fund for
his monument. State Superintend.
emit Kirk urges that the day be
suitably kept, because he thinks it
is good idea for Missouri school chill
dren to be taught to make much of the
memory of Eugene Field. The poet
of childhood deserves this at their
hands. The influence of such a day
upon them will be wholly good. Field
belonged to Missouri and his memory
is ours. We can not be SO ungratefuI
for what he did as to allow that mem
DRY to perish.
