Value Of the Opportunity.
The opportunity presented in the

brate the events and the significance
Of our second war for independence
and of the hundred years of peace
with Great Britain which has ensued,
is one in which parents and teachers
should join with eagerness and en-
thusiasm; and the school programs
should be enlarged and dignified by
the participation OF men and women
capable of making the strongest APP
peal to the understanding and patriot
ism of the young.
The Wisconsin Commission believes
that the schools are the proper and
natural medium through which to in
vite public attention to the real mean
ing of the centennial. In offering to
Wisconsin students the opportunity to
engage in a competition of unusual
historical interest. for valuable in
ducements offered, in addition to the
educational incentive, the Commission
is convinced that it has selected q
celebration feature in especial accord
