possibly affect the educational system
of America. it is true that 1t can. Mr..
Hoover has taught us the value of sin
gle action. Thousands and thousands
of dollars have been spent on signs

No. little patriot. let the older girls

have nothing to do but walk the dog
have hand at them, too. 1t is for
such as you we are fighting this war.
Our schools and the fine women they
are able to turn out are fine. strong
anchors of America. Don't let our

Mr.. Deland sat in the brown chair
before the tea things. l poured the tea

We were silent. The pleasant restful-

Suddenly Mr.. DelaHd sprang up
