w. The 39th National Encampment
| adopted the following report and rec
| ommendation Of the Committee on
Rules. Regulations and Ritual:
In relation to the propositions from
the Departments Of New York, Penn
| sylvania, Connecticut, Ohio, and Kan
sas. for the creation of the offices of
| NATIONAL, Department, and Post Pa
| triotic instructors, we have given the
| matter the consideration that its inn
pOrtance demands.
From the first organization of the
| Grand Army of the Republic to the
| present time, patriotic instruction to
| the younger generation has been one
Of it's fundamental principles; it has
by precept and example at all times
and under all circumstances given en-
phasis to this idea.
"The Woman's Relief Corps has for
many years past given special prom
inence to this work, as have the Ladies
of the G. A. R.. the Daughters of Vet
| erans and Sons of Veterans; they have
| made patriotism the cornerstone on
| which they have builded, and we can
| depend upon their maintaining prac-
teal interest in this grand work in the
future. Its Importance. in view Of the
large and constant increase Of our for
| efgn population, cannot be overesti-
| mated.
| 1.-THE Chief Aid on Patriotic Instruc-
ton, Comrade Allan C. Blackwell, who
| has devoted seven years Of intelligent
labor, and mainly at his own expense,
In this direction. assures us that the
work shows better results each year. and
that 1t should not now be abandoned.
But he asserts that the present system
Of appointments through a Chief Aid
| cannot produce as good results as will
be achieved through formal organiza-
ton by officials at National and De-
| partment Headquarters.
''We modify the proposition submit
| ted, to this extent that there shall be
| a National Patriotic Instructor, to be
| appointed by the Commander in Chief,
| and to be a member of the National
| EHcampment, ana q department Pa
| triotic Instructor, to be appointed by
| the Department Commander, and to be
a member Of the Department Encamp-
ment. with authority to appoint such
| assistants on Patriotic Instruction as
may be deemed necessary to accom-
| plish the best results.
1--WE do not believe 1T wise to now ar
| range for such appointments in Posts,
as in numerous localities one assistant
| can cover the territory of number OF
7 Posts.
of this should meet the concurrence
OF the National Encampment. the Rules
and Regulations will be amended ac-
| cordingly in the several sections re-
CURED, and an outline of the duties
prescribed.
