convicts in Olive Drab Uniforms.


A protest against the wearing of
the olive drab United States service
uniform by prisoners of the Monroe
State Reformatory at Monroe, WASH
has been made by Thomas n. Swale,
commander of the Washington de-
partment of the American Legion, who
with a committee of Legionnaires Wis
tied that institution. Representatives
of the bureau Of War Risk Insurance
and the federal board for Vocational
Education joined with the Legion
members in the protest to the state
officials. Shortage of funds and the
low cost Of the uniforms were re-
sponsible for their adoption as the
official prison garb, according to state
officials. 1t is believed that the prison
officials will adopt some other uni
form for the cOnvicts.

If the parents wish to help their children use some other book and the work will be of more benefit I heartily agree with all Miss John ston said in last weeks issue of School Notes. Small children starting to read will often times memorize al most the complete lesson.
