March s, 1905.
Fellow Teacher:
Permit me to remind yen that Sun
dag, April 2d, 1905, is The one hun
hredrh anniversary Of the firth Of
Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish
author, whose fairy tales have been
read with delight by children Of every
nationality. Though he was born in
poverty and ohscurity, and his life
was beset with discouragement, his
genius, ambition and kindliness en-
abled him to break the fetters Of en-.
virenment and win during fame. For
centuries to come, his writings will
continue TO stimulate the youthful
imagina ion ana add brightness to
child-life.
The world having produced but one
Lincoln and one Washington, we are
accustomed to hold. in the schools of
the state, on the lchool day next pre-.
cedipg The twelfth and the twenty
second Of Fe.Tusry Of each year, ex-
eroises des gnei tc stimulate in our
youth higher spirit CT patriotism "

The literary world has given US Int
one aurs Christian Andersen. As his
name is familiar to so many children,
and his life lahors furnish so striking
an example Of success in the face of

would be an uupsrdon4ble OMISSION fnr
us to let this important centenary pass

practicable. Ore of your advanced
