lected reading episodes that can be
illustrated with l.ttie tr.nkots. For
instance. a little boat TO represent the
crossing Of the Delaware, key to
typ!fy the key to the Bastile sent 70
Washington by Lafayette, n tattered
tent to tell the story of his winter
at Valley Forge, and so on. Put
these trnkets on a table. Arm the
children with pencils and papers. Let
each one try to write a few words
connecting the favor with what you
have read from the book. To the
child presenting the best accounts II
prize might be given. That child, Of
course, will go home delighted, but I
think all the children will go home
remembering.
Some persons say II is wrong to
let war weave itself into the lives
Of little children. Personally, | think
boys and girls who learn the real
value of country during this big ma.
tional period will grow into the kind
of men and women who will do a
great deal for Uncle Sam some day in
grateful remembrance.
