| and especially of those who believe that
there is danger that the PUBLIC schools ev-

pupils for practical life. Not how much,

| on Washingtons birthday anniversary, the
! past two years, l have observed a spirit
| of patriotism interest in national at
| fairs and a pride in the District Of Co
| lumbia which are not surpassed, 1 ven
| ture to say. elsew here. In the graduates or
! the Business High School, as observe them
| from day to day, 1 see these same things
| the living evidences of the schools train
! ing. Its results appear, likewise, in no
| BILE type of good citizenship. characteristic
| of all its graduates whom l know. Ihey
! have high ideals for themselves ana Tor
the city. They have zeal for truth and a
| passion for honesty, love OF industry ana
| a desire to help other men and women
| They have the high hearts of those who
| cannot live in camps of ease, but must
press forward from victory to victory. Inc
! District of Columbia has no better citizens
| Its interests can be safely left to their no.
| BILE devotion, and its honor to their unset
| fish protection.
