1t is by applying themselves to q
strict course OF study and work anC
abiding by that course, that makes
the great men what they are today In
the hearts of the American people.
The Victory Parade.
one or the most interesting sub
jects which Major General Holbroob
spoke to the students about was the
Victory parade held in Paris in July
1919. All the countries of the wal
were represented, and marched down
the avenue led by the leaders of the
different nations. Seven million peo
pie stood awe struck, their hearts
thrilling with pride and Joy as the
splendid representatives of the ma
tions passed. Our own troops led b,
General Pershing and officers were
followed by the American soldiers
none of whom were less than five feet
ten inches tall.
jor General Holbrook told about was
that of'a British officer who asked an
American officer If he wanted to heat
compliment which the British troops
had received. OF course the Ameri
can officer acquiesced, and the Brit
ish officer said that he had been told
that the British troops were simply
unsurpassed, really the best in the
parade, except the American troops
''But the pride of the Americans is
saddened when they think about the
thousands of rows of white crosses in
France. which are mute reminders OF
the soldiers who gallantly gave ur
their lives for their loved ones.
The beautiful patriotic message
brought to the students was closed by
the reciting of the immortal lines ""In
Flanders Fields" "and it is this mes
sage, not to forget the trust which
those who lie in Flanders Fields car
ried out, that must be taught to the
citizens of tomorrow" said Major
General Holbrook.
