It is an unfortunate incident, to say
the least of it, that on 1.-THE celebration
of the one hundreth birthday OF Gen.
Robert E, Lee, when nearly every
school of the south was observing the
occasion with patriotic sentiment and
appropriate ceremonies Friday after
noon. shat the Tupelo Graded School
should have had as the subject for their
literary discussion that afternoon,
abraham Lincoln. We feel that a
Southern sentiment should prevail in all
southern schools and that the heads OF
the schools should keep posted on south
ern history and teach the children to
revere the names of southern heroes
and celebrate southern historical events
when the opportunity is afforded. Lin
coin may have been a great man, but
not such a man as the noble and chlval-
rous Robert e. Lee, and when my little
bow enters school / shall feel that his
education is not along the right line If
he is not taught at every. opportunity
that Robert E. Lee was a grander and
greater mar than Abraham Lincoln.
