In preparing the attached program
the writer has borne in mind the fact
that almost any ceremony by constant
repetition becomes meaningless and
uninteresting to children.

in the scope of a set program for ev
cry day use, which is understood to he
what is required.

the board, and during the week repeat,
ed by the pupils each day. In cases
where the quotation Is from Washing.
ton, Lincoln or some American patriot
the picture of the author of the text
could be shown, and as much said OF
his life and deeds as the time will al,
low. In order to keep within the time
limit on Mondays the songs may be
curtailed to one verse, or II there IL
great deal that may be probably
said omitted altogether.
Here follow a number of short texts
selected from the works and speeches
OF famous authors and statesmen.
The following are suggestions for
texts for the school year. II desirabl.
