Teach your daughter 1.-THE Importance of being a
Woman" Teach her to be real woman with the high
ambition to make the human better and the earth
more beautiful
And teach your to respect woman not merely the
conventional bowling and scrapng surface poteness taught
at the dancing school
Teach your reverence for woman character for
the work that she has DONE the suffering that she endures
the civilization which is her work
And pity the poor creature who opposes the right of
woman to share in the government that she has helped
to create Pity the without imagination or heart who
like the African savage classes his mother with COW out

less than you used to get for 5

Now by its meaning is the whole world stirred
These men died for it-for it now we give
And sacrifice and serve, and toll and live.
From out our hearts had gone high devotion
For any thing. II took mighty wrath
Against great evil to wake strong emotion
And put US back upon the righteous path.
1t took mingled stream of tears and blood
To cut the channel through to Brotherhood.
That word meant nothing on our lips in peace: ,-
We had despoiled it by our castles and classes.
But when this savage carnage finds surcease
new ideal will unite the masses
And there shall be True Brotherhood with men
The Christy Spirit stirring earth again.
For this our men have suffered, fought and died;
And we who can but dimly see the end
Are guarded by their spirits glorifed,
Who help us on our way, while they ascend
They are not dead-they are not deadl say
These men whose graves we decorate today.
America and France walk hand in hand;
As one their hearts beat through the coming years.
One is the aim and purpose Of each land,
BaptiSed with Holy Water of their tears.
Today they worship with one faith, and know
Griefs first Communion in Gods House Of Woe.
Great Liberty the Goddess at our gates,
And great Jeanne dare are fused into one soul
A host of Angels on that soul awaits
To lead it up to triumph at the goal.
Along the path of Victory they tread,
Moves the majestic cortege Of our dead.
