 School girls and school boys, British soldiers, Hessians, the school l In her address to the school and those 1 present at the exercises, Miss Margaret 1 Suck, the proprietor of the school, said l In part: .t-
 Each year the necessity arises, to em- phasize certain lessons, and it is these | lessons, these problems on which we are l working in school, which are not in the | text books, nor in the curriculum which believe to be so important and which I would have you know about
 First of all. it is the lessons, thorough ly emphasized two years ago, the lesson of Service. VIZ have continued to serve 1 we have regularly spent some time on 1 working for the Junior Red Cross. The children have made many little things l which will gladden. the hearts of those less fortunate thaH they We have again sent the required amount of mon- ey to our French orphan, Celine Rainier money contributed by the children from their own savings. We have still kept UT buying thrift stamps, we have continued our custom to play Santa Claus to chil. dren who needed him very much. So we have proved our belief in Ser. vice-trying to impress upon the chil dren continually that Service is our one great duty--that he is the best citizen who serves not only in war, but alsC !. in peace; and that he serves his coun try best, who makes of himself a gooC citizen who learns how to build char acter.
 We all know we need leaders. I sin cereIy hope, that each one of. these chil !. I dren may become a leader in her or hi line, that is. a human. being which cal face a reality, understand a problem and have the courage to value it.
