WEEK DATE SET
Governor Moore Sets Date
For Week of November
II to 23.

This year American Education
Week has been set for the week OF
November seventeenth to Twenty.
thrd and for the fifth time the peo-
nle of the great republic are called
mon to give attention to the prime
reouisites of education. In the type
0 government which we enjoy it is
highly necessary that the first duty
Of the state, after guaranteeing life
and property, is to provide education
for those who must soon assume the
sacred responsibilities of government.
Illiteracy is menace to the nation,
affording, as it does, breeding
place for the germs of anarchy and
dissolution. Our schools, therefore
must not only train in v0catiOns and
general culture, but In citizenship
50 that all may function in the du-
ties Of government. Reverence for
law and order must be inculcated in
the youth of the land and the
schools are a valuable ally to the
homes in this respect.
We are particularly proud Of the
opportunities provided for the child
rem Of Idaho in trainilg for indus
tries trades and professions. 1t is
very desirable that we occasionally
measure our achievements; that we
examine the methods and machinery
Of teaching citizenship and Christion
character and give some time to the
study and Improvement OF our schools.
NOW THEREFORE,, 1. G. G.
Moore, Governor of the State of Ida
ho, in order to encourage universal
interest in cur schools and education
In general, do hereby proclaim the
week from November seventeenth to
twenty-third as American Education
week and request that the people
Oh the state observe this week in
cooperation with the United States
Bureau of Education, the American
Legion the National Education Asso-
cation and the Idaho educational
association and the Idaho education
al system, to the end that educational
methods and opportunities may be
oettered and that stronger citizenship
may be encouraged.
In Witness Whereof, l have here
u.lo set my hand and caused to be
aiixed the Great Seal of the State

uer A. d. nineteen hundred and
