THE NEW MEMORIAL DAY.

With blossom-laden hands, to-day the ma
ton stands,
Beside the graves of those who died for
liberty.
The story is long told, our hearts can no
more hold
The bitterness of strife, the tears, the
agony.
Yet the memory of these men shall perish
only when
The manhood of the land, the love OF
freedom, dies.
And 10! beside their sod new fold is turned
for God
New martyrs called for freedom, mid
women's tears and cries.
BY these just newly dead-their blood for
Cuba she'd
And these who lie at peace, in the land
they died to free;

DAY OF SENTIMENT.
Ceremonies in Cemeteries School of
Patriotism for Both Old
and Young.

On every national anniversary, ex-
cept Memorial day, we deal with things
of life, rather than of death.
On independence day we celebrate the
nations birth; on Washington and Lin
coin days the birth anniversaries OF It's
immortal patriots; on thanksgiving
day the fullness and blessings of ma
tional prosperity.
On Memorial day alone we give pause
for tears; on this hallowed anniversary
we weave chaplets for the nations
glorious dead.
And how glorious they are-these
myriad sleeping soldiers-and how the
glory of their deeds magnifies with the
years!
We, the living, add not at all to their
Immortality in history with our flow-
ers, our prayers and our tears. But
we do add something of priceless value
to our own lives by the customs OF
Memorial day. We turn these sacred
hours into symphony of patriotism
The benediction Of to-day's flower
strewn mounds is for the living; it is
an oasis in the storms of life; level
ing occasion when the finer sentiments
rreep into the souls of American men
and women.
And the nations cemeteries are to-
day the greatest school of patriotism for
old and young that we have. For true
patriotism counts not death, If through
death the nation shall find life and
health.
No nation is in peril that has such
Memorial day as we have. The living
will carry on the work that these heroes
gave their lives for.
On Memorial day we come back
from forgetfulness to the realities.
We know why these soldiers died, and
we vow that their sacrifice shall not
be in vain.
This nation has been carried
through all its real perils by citizen
soldiery, as distinguished from the
mercenary militarism of other ma
lions.
American patriotism is something
apart. The simple flag that is more
than ever world emblem Of liberty
has no parallel as an inspirer of he
roic deeds.
There are those who place sordid
gain above sentiment, and care for our
prosperity only for individual profit.
But the heart of real America beats
true in every crisis. No foe, open or
secret. can successfully measure
swords with the national conscience.
And this is the real lesson of Me
mortal day. So long as we honor our
soldier dead we will honor our coun.
try.
Memorial day gives perspective
The lettering Grand Army veteran
and the lisping boy with cap and
drum and flag, are the visible ex
tremes of a common unity Of patri
otism.
Passionless, the remnants Of former
contending armies unite in a common
sorrow and a common hope. The
blue and gray are not less halloweC
because time is blending them.
The season of natures renewal !!
fittingly the season when this ant
future generations will yearly deco
rate the graves of American soldiers.
And though none of these sleeper
hears the bugle call, each is takel
again to the national heart by tn
fresh flowers in his "windowless pa
ace Of rest"

The Fallen.

Harkl a bugle winds shrill
Ger the brow of the hill,
At whose base stygian waters outpour;
'Tis our comrades, beyond sight,
Signal back through the night
To the few who are left on this shore.
Old Charon oars free
our brave hosts through the sea.
As they, prompt to the bugle, respond
How his boat rocks and rolls,
With the weight of their souls,
Who are linked with affections strong
bond.
To the blue and the gray
Gives he each right Of way,
And a chaplet of glory as well;
Since nobly they fought
Each as honor had taught
And nobly. as heroes. they fell.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1906-05-25

Let all men know we keep their vigil while
they sleep
on guard, for aye, of this great nations
destiny.
These heroes have not laid their brave
lives down in vain,
Her sons again have pledged our land to
liberty.
hearts that grieve to-day for soldiers
far away,
Who bore our countrys flag and died to
set men free.
Look up and sigh no more. Like those VINO
died before,
The nation keeps their memories and the
peoples hearts are true.
For Chickamauga still echoes on through
San Juan Hill
To one nation and one people meath tho
red, white and blue.

Mrs. Phillips TaIks.

When asked yesterday in regard to the training school of the kindergarten, Mrs. Philips said:
 "The object of the training school is primarily to train young women for kin dergarten work But as our knowledge of this phase of our work extends, we see possibilities of doing far more for our city than merely producing trained kin dergartners. With two years of scien- tiic study and daily experience with classes of children, we believe we shall give to the community a superior type of womanhood, one who will understand the need of the child as 8 vital unit in the social organism one that has high ideals of the present and the future of the in- dividual, the family and of society. A woman thus trained must become bet ter daughter, more faithful friend more loyal wife, and a nobler mother.
 Nineteen young women have complet- ed the full course required, covering a period of two years, and seven have taken the first years course. These may not be flattering statistics when considered in the light of numbers only, but when con- sidered in the light of our standard of , entrance and the demands of the work from day to day. there is surely no occa- sion for Encouragement.
 "The past has found us with only enc teacher in the training school, but we are now able to offer Inducements that compare favorably with those of similar training schools in Louisville and New Orleans. We confidently expect a larger class in the session just beginning than we have ever enrolled.
 After all Is said the greatest element of success in free kindergarten work lies i in the efficiency of the supervisor and principal of the training school This woman for a woman she invariably Is, must possess the highest qualities of head and heart; she must give herelf to the work without reserve she must be loving and tender and yet not senti- mentalist she must be the soul of honor: she must have initiative, be self-reliant. and at the same time must be able to cultivate these same qualities in others. The board of directors commend Miss Mary K. Drew. our valued supervisor and principal as this type of woman. Every phase of kindergarten work receives its proportion of wise and loving attention at her hands.
 gro be eligible to the Kindergarten Training school each student must be a graduate of q High school or standard private school or must have had equiva- lent educational advantages. The students devote the mornings to practical work with the children and the afternoons to classes in theory.
 "The school will open at the same time that the free lSindergartens begin their wolFS, which will be on Monday, the 2ath. It will be conducted in the rooms re- gently secured for that purpose on Ave nue c and Eighteenth street"
