MY DEAR BROTHER SECRETARY:
Now that the "Big Mill" is over
we have more time to turn our
thoughts back to the "Good u. 3. A"

time is hanging heavy now, altho'
there Is much work to be done.

Notes,

Uncle Sam had TO take on a thou
sand school teachers among his other
impedimenti and send them over
there to teach some Of the rockies
how to read and write. Is this not a
terrible Indictment Of our much
touted school system? We have done

look around and very few people re-
alise how friRhtfully miserable our
school teaching has become, espec-
tally In showing our kids how to
