foster good Americanism. 1T shall

fore all the people," the bulletin

At the request of the American
Legion Governor Boyle issued
proclamation calling on the people
of the state to observe the week
The governors proclamation is:
Whereas, The President of the
United States has issued his procla-
nation declaring December to 10,
1921, to be American Education
Week." and this movement has also
received the support of the Ameri-
can Legion and various bodies and
and in the development of yigor-
Gus and intelligent spirit of Ameri-
canism in the present generation
and those to follow; and
Whereas, 1t appears that not only
is there need for particular atten-
adult population including those of
foreign birth, but for a definite pro-
gram of education in the schools cal
culated to reach those having even
the most elementary of school oppor-
tunities:
Therefore, l, Emmett ID. Boyle.
Governor of Nevada. by the author
ity in me vested, do designate and
proclaim December to 10. 1921, as
American Education Week. through
out the State of Nevada.
II call attention of the people,
and those having to do with the edu-
cation and inspiration of the people,
to the plans for the observance of
this week, which may be readily
learned because of the nationwide
character of the movement, and /
suggest that it is no der
ogation of our Americanism or our
as a commonwealth to
to admit that here as elsewhere there
is need for thoughtful attention and
substantial accomplishment.
"Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State of Nevada,
at the Capitol, in Carson City, this
23rd day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and twenty-one."
