 Dear Brother Elkourie: We want to make this year the banner year in the history of the Moose. We have had long, hard pull to make Moose heart success, but all those who visit Mooseheart now, especially the educators of the country, say 1t is the finest place of it's kind in the world. I will be glad to write letters to the representative people of your com them something about Moose and and I feel sure the ma jority will join the order in the fu- ture. We are enthusiastic about the New York convention. This will be the greatest convention in history of the order. and our parade wilNbe the finest fraterna1 parade ever held in this country. Let's all pull together for Mooseheart.
 With kindest personal regards, I am, cordially and fraternally,
 JAMES J. DAVIS" Appointed.

 The national educational associa tion of the United States, in it's Octo- Der journal, publishes a lengthy ar ticle entitled, "Mooseheart More Than a School" in which the editor. speak ing for this important national educa- tional association, brings out fully the great value of Mooseheart to the program of the United States. The article appears on Page 305. It is too lengthy to repeat in detail The following are 8 few ex- tracts:
 'The writer knows no other school or institution in which he can find more to commend, or from which the average school man would profit more than by visit to Mooseheart."
 The article concludes with the fol- lowing effective paragraph: "Natur- ally, a public school man who has had years of experience in school ad- ministration, and in wrestling with the problem of keeping down per cap ita costs while trying to provide ade- quate educational training for the pupils in his schools. must think how much of the Mooseheart Ideal he would gladly embody in his schools If only his people could see that corre- spending and equal expenditures for education that trains for life will pay anywhere even in the public schools. Some day let us hope we shall see it everywhere"
 Dr. c. B. Glenn is vice president of the National Educational association.
