This training should be not necessarily

DECORATION DAY.

Tomorrow, May 30th, is
Decoration Day." 1t is a
day set apart for decorating
the graves of soldiers and
sailors who fell in the Ameri-
can Civil War (1861-1865)
and in other wars.
The practice of setting a
day to visit the graves of the
fallen, recall to memory their
noble deeds, took it's rise early
in the Civil War; first in par
ticular places, here a city,
there a village. In some
places it was one day and then
again in others it was another
day. After a time the prac-
ticc became more general. In
time, however, many state
legislatures were induced to
designate a day for the pur-
pose, and the Presidents and
Governors Of various states
united in recommending the
observance of the same day,
May 80, now known as Deco
ration Day" The day will be
observed by the residents of
Kctchikan tomorrow.
