HOW GENERAL LOGAN sulLpgD.
Not Likely that He Realized to What
Exteut the Day Would BE Observed.

1t may be wondered il Gen. John A.
Logan was aware how well he was build
ing when. in 1865, he laid the foundation
for Memorial day. 1t may be doubted.
Possibly he saw far enough into the flu
ture to discover a general observance of
the day by the men who, like himself. had
helped to do that which warranted the
establishment Of the beautiful customs of
Memorial day. That much would have
been natural. But he surely did not pic
ture to himself all Of the Developments of
the movement. Did he realize then that
Memorial day ceremonies would be made
the foundation for patriotic education such
as no other country has experienced-such
as this country never before experienced
Probably not. Did Logan look far enough
ahead TO see that The great semi military
order of which he was the head would
have been numbered with the dead long
ago had il not been for Memorial day and
the grand ideas born Of that day. IL is
not likely. Did he realize then that Me
mortal day ceremonies would attract the
attention of tens of millions Of people out
side of his comrades? 1t is possible, but
not probable
Certainly Gen. Logan did not look far
enough into the future TO see Memorial
day snugly, firmly planted in the public
schools of the land. as well as other
schools-in the academies, colleges and
universities. He lived to see the day de-
velop into a national holiday by common
consent. if not by law But - did not
live to see it take possession Of the edu'
cational interests Of the country he
wrought so grandly for. in war as well as
peace.
Most Of the young fellows who spTang
7 TO arms when war with Spain was de-
/ clared were schooled to the practical pat
riofism they so glowingly manifested IL

at and hearing about the flag and the
