Commissioner of Schools Walter E. Ranger has issued the following message:
 To the Boys and Girls of Rhode Island Schools:
 You live in a rare time for gaining l,;x l., r1 5N as citizens of school and country, the very things the schools teach.

From such beginning of true citizen ship the coming years will lead you on to higher civic duties and arger service for country.
 In civic gratitude and honor men are ] best remembered for the things they have done for their fellowmen and not for tNemselves only. Of the American ideals. of liberty. honor and service, the greatest is service. All the grate- ful and revereilt honor we pay today to Lincoln. or the veterans of the Grand Army, or those who have serV- cd the az in peace or war. is be- cause of their public service. First | in the hearts of their countrymen arc | 'fThey whose rood service made their memory loved."
