miles still farther north into the
Lebanon mountains, where they will
cruise a large and unsurveyed tract OF
spruce and cedar timber.
They are going for The West More

When they arrive at Richmond they
will be joined by four other repre-
sentatives of the company, making a

URGES SCHOOLS To
OBSERVE THE DAY
LETTER SENT OUT TO TEACHERS
ASKING THAT MEMORIAL DAY
BE APPROPRIATELY OBSERVED
-LEGIsLATURE MADE PRovI-
SION FOR ITS OBSERVANCE.

The following letter from the state
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, has been received by the county
superintendent of schools throughout
the state and copies are now being
prepared and sent to the schols of all
districts. 1t is self explanatory:
ITO Superintendent, officers and
Teachers:
With the near approach of Memorial
day, May 80, / want to suggest that
the schools of this state ought to paw
more than passing attention to this day.
1t is not holiday, it is a holy day, a
day set part to commemorate the sac
rifices which were necessary that a
united nation and people might exist
here today.
"The last legislature made a pro-
vision that every school in session
at this time should assemble on Me-
mortal day and devote a portion of
the day to patriotic exercises suited
to the occasion. Too often, in the past
/ regret to say, has this day Oeen en-
tirely unobserved, except that the
schools have been dismissed. This is
not as it should be.
TRUE. 1t is now nearly fifty years
since the terrific conflict between the
states ended, true it is that the sur
vivors are most Of them old and en-
feebled men, true 1t is that another
generation occupies the stage today,
true it is that we sometimes rhiIik
that we have not time for things SEN
timental, yet / feel that the present
generation and the rising generation
owe much to those men who from
81 to '65 followed the flag, often TO
defeat, but in the end to a victory
which has settled forever the question
of the union. 1t is not necessary to
dwell upon the carnage of the bait.
tie, it is not necessary TO exalt. the
victor or to speak slightingly OF sthe
vanquished, it is necessary to preach
the gospel of better citizenship, more
patriotic living. These things today
are essential to national existence. 1t
is the mission of the schools today
TO teach these things to our children
Where there is q post of the Grand
Army of the Republic hope the
schools will cooperate with it in OBJ
serving this day. Where there Is not,
every school should ascertain If there
Is soldiers grave in the vicinity, If
there is, see that it is covered with
flowers, tokens of the fact that a
grateful people il not unmindful OF
the sacrifices of the boys in blue.
Il hope every school officer, su
perintendent and teacher will be pa
triotic enough to see that not only the
letter but the spirit of the new law
