Dear Boys and Girls: When you were celebrating Armistice Day Tuesday, idd you stop to think ; just what it means? To some of you it may mean just flying flags and excitement and parade and a brass band and holiday from school. But hope all of you paused in the midst of your ex- citement to be thankful that we have an Armistice Day, to be thankful that seven years ago America had part in giving peace back to the world.
 Seven years ago little boys and girls in Ffance and Belgium and Italy were hungry and cold. Shells from the enemy's guns tore up their homes and killed their fathers and brothers. They had no warm homes, no food, no happiness, like you have today. They lived in dark, cold cellars, all huddled up in corners.
 Then came November II, 1918. The guns stopped shooting. Peo- pie were shouting that the war was over. For the first time in three years little children smiled and be- gan to be happy again. Everybody was glad that the great and good America gave Der money and men and ships to help bring peace.
 How proud we should all be to be

OUR PL4AYTIME

Every day at :45, two classes go out to the park and play. They have half hour to play. This gives the teachers rest for the day.
 When the bell rings, we line up -twos and march down quietly. Oh, how we feel when the bill is ringing! We could jump for joy if only we were allowed to.
 As soon as the boys and girls get to the park they start playing. Some play ball and some swing. Our half hour is soon up. My, how we hate to quit eur playing and go to our studies. But we are refreshed from our playtime and ready fer work! We march up quietly and take our seats. Soon the lessons are done and school is over. ,

ABOUT A PICTURE

Pictures. What wonders pictures re- veal to us. The privilege and pleasure we enjoyed in viewing the beautiful collection of paintings that were on ex- hibit was wonderful. Pictures of travel are so interesting and instructive that we delight to feast our eyes upon them. Of those there could have been nene more impressive than "'fhe Little Chapel in Cahors" could almost feel the sanetity in the atmosphere, the deep and holy devotion of those within it's portals. It was house of God. The golden sunshine streaming in re- minds one of His words: "Let perpetual light be upon thcm."' What could have been more impressive than such a pie tures

DRESS AND CITIZENSHIP

If you dress carefully and neatly, people knov that you are succeeding in business and social life. A good citi- zen is always successful in the business and social world.
 A tramp is not gesd citizen, because good citiEsn is thrifty. You can tell by tramp's clothes that he is not thrifty aRd neat.
 If a man, woman or child is fiashily dressed, you knOw that he or she does not save any money, but spends it all on clothes. Since good citizen al ways saves some money, it is not thrifty to. waste it all on clothes.

TO ALABAMA BOYS AND GIRLS

Americans! And how hard we should all try to be good Amer jeans!
 We celebrate Armistice Day only once a year, but we should not put our patriotism and love of Amer ica away and bring it out just on Armisfice Day. Patriotism is not real unless it is something you ob- serve every single day in the year. Don't wait for the Fourth of July, or Washington's birthday or Armistice Day to be patriotic You can be as patriotic on November 16 as you can on July 4th.
 Now how can a little boy and girl be patriotic? You all are too young to vote and show your patriotism as grown folks do. But let me tell you what you can do for America Keep clean in mind and body. Play fair. Be honest. Speak the truth. Do a good deed for somebody every time you have a chance. Love and respect your fling and the country for which it stands.
 How many of you are going to try to be good citizens Qf our great and glorious America? Write and tell me if you will. Let's make ev- cry day day of patriotism
 pntriotically yours,

FIRE PREyENTf0N

There is 10 denying that great ef- forts are being made for the prevention of fires. The recognition of the public as to the aaRsers in this matter is be- ing greatly increased. Several laws have been issued recently for this pur- pose. One of them ia that all newly constructed buildings and homes be built of fire-proef material. The beginning of every fire is caused almost invariably through earelessHess. When you have any lighted article in your possession, be sure it is extiHguished before you throw it away. Often yeu see people throw lighted matches away. CT when smoking, carelessIy drop sparks and thereby cause fires.

I entered school at the age of eight in the Ashland school. After going Ncx< s~v years, I moved out in the country and entered a rural school. was ready for the fourth grade, bmt there was so much difference in the two schools that l was promoted ta the fifth.
 In the country schools they do not keSe any junior and senior grades. In some of these schools, there is snfy one teacher. But in most cOun- Sg schools there are tive or three teachers.
 They play many games on the seheol grounds. Everyone is friend 1y and knows the name of everyone in school.
 In most of them they form what they call school society. A committee, consisting of five or six children, gets up a program for every Friday after noon. School is dismissed, and all the people in the community come cut to hear the children sing, recitA and debate
 In the mornings all the children come in one room and there they have chapel.
 They have basketball games with other schools of the country. With them basketball is on season all the year round. The girls have various games to play, such as basketball. volley ball and town ball.
