in boys and girls, the men and
women of the great tomorrow;
that whatsoever the boy soweth
the man shall reap. l believe in
the curse of ignorance, in the eff
ficacy of schools, in the dignity
of teaching, and in the joy of
serving others. | believe in
wisdom as revealed in human
lives as well as in the pages of
printed book, in lessons taught,
not so much by precept as by ex-
ample, in ability to work with
the hands as well as to think with
the head, in everything that
makes life large and lovely. /
believe in beauty in the school
room, in the home in daily life,
and in t-of-doors. | believe in
laughter, in love, in faith, in all
ideals and distant hopes that lure
US on. | believe that every hour
of every day We receive a just
reward for all we are and all we
do. ] believe in the present and
and its opportunities, in the
future and it's promises, and in
the divine joy of living. Amen.

Next Thursday will be Thanksgiving
day; it is national holiday, an Amer
lean holiday, school holiday, and
should be observed. Do not teach to
make up some lost day, or to gain one.
1t is really illegal to do so; better teach
the lesson of participation in observing
noble tradition of our forefathers, a
lesson by recognizing its import be-
cause of executive proclamations, and
lesson by giving thanks.
Important Notice.
