GENERALIZATION or
EFFORT Is MOTTO Or
SCHOOLS or ARDMORE

Capitalization of effort is the preva.
lent idea in the schools this year and
ii Is being carried out in each depart
ment of work. Heretofore each school
selected a motto and each mothers club
did work of its own planning at its
own time. but now things are becom
ing SO systematized that the same idea
viii be carried out in each building at
the same time. This month the motto
for all the schools is application.
The enrolment Of the high school is
increasing every day and II now mum
bers 800. The domestic science classes
are larger than ever before. the first
class this year having more members
than all the classes Of last year. A
great part Of the credit for this Inn
provement is due the efforts OF the
Mothers Club. as well as those Of Miss
McPheeters. for their work has made
it possible to more properly equip this
department.

They are comuemorations Of great
events. great institutions or great per-
sonalit.es. Memorial day with US
stands for the perpetual recognition Of
a slavery emanc'pated. Of a warfare

memoration of wonderful heroism and
great sacrifice. As we contemplate the
events that lie behind Memorial day,

Of her. on the morning Of the fourth
day. father, my brother and l took a
walk over the field to ST.. if we could
find any trace of her. We saw many
terrible sights. Dead soldiers were
lying around thick dead horses, and
many cowskins and heads; from this
last we soon came to the conclusion
that our COW had been killed for food
like the rest, so we gave her up. As
we were eating supper mn evening "A
week or more after the battle, we
heard a familiar believing in the
street. Everybody sprang from the
table and rushed out. There stood our
dear old cow, looking as happy as it is
possible for a cow to look at being
home again. Next day we discov-
cred that she had a b%ullethole in her
neck and one in her side. She was
not severely hurt, however. and both
bullets came out eventually. We found
out later that all the COWS in that par
ticular field had got out in some way

ON MEMORIAL DAY
Time for Patriotic Thoughts as
We StreW Flowers Over the
Graves of Our Heroes.

MOTHER year has rolled around
~ since we cut the lilacs, the
~ %snovballs, the p~eonies and 9th
er flowers with which our
yards abound at this time Of the year,
and reverently laid them on the
graves of our soldier dead. 1t has
been a year of stress and storm for
many of us. a year of war and rumors
of war i'm the land. We do well TO put
aside the duties of the season for a
few hours and go out to the cemetery,
where we may reflect on the great sac
rifce of the heroes and heroines buried
there, writes James NJ. Pierce i'm the
Iowa Homestead.
Memorial day is to me n of the
saddest and loneliest days of the whole
year. l remember the years which
have gone: the father who left the
happy home circle, never to return,
lying today in an unknown grave In
the sunny Southland. I remember the
uncles who likewise gave up their lives
that this nation might be free and
united. | remember the struggles and
the sacrifices Of my mother and sisters,
and as l remember them the tears well
from my eyes and loneliness comes
down around me and upon me, ike
shades of night. Such a gOodly COM
pany of brave young men marched
forth, dropping plow-lines and ledger,
with flies and drums Quickening their
pulses and their steps; and so few
returned. And of that pitiful handful
which came back. how few we have
left with us today! The ranks OF
those who don the old and threadworn
uniform to march out to the cemetery
and honor their fallen comrades are
thinning rapidly but a few more years
and there will be none left among us
Shall we not honor them while they
are yet here? The poet was inspired

me give you three of the stanzas OF a
poem l love that you may read them
over, at your leisure:
So when the summer calleth.
on forest and field o. grain
With an equal mumur falleth
The cooling drip OF rain
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day,
Wet with the rain the Blue,
Wet with the rain the Gray.
Sadly. but not with uphraiding,
The generous deed was done
In the storm Of the years that are fading.
No Drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue.
Under the garlands, the Cray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
or the winding river be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves Of our
dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue.
Tears and love for the Gray.
Could we do better than to read
these verses aloud, or teach one Of the
children to speak them at school, OF
ask that they be read at whatever ex-
ercises may be held in cemeteries2
We have been drawn together-we Of
the North and the South, we Of the
farm and of the city-within the past
year, in the face Of a common danger,
as never before. Shall we forget that
there ever existed dividing lines, and
unite, all together, in being true-blue
Americans, dedicated to n another's
welfare and prosperity, the greatest,
most closely knit nation the sun ever
shOne on?
