E. Blaisdell.
Memorial Day. A selection by the
school orchestra opened the program,
then the school sang THE Star
Spangled Banner" and gave the sa-
lutte to the flag. Ella Prentiss read
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Doyle

Peace" A selection by the high
school orchestra concluded this part
of the program.
The speaker Of the morning was
ISN. "A. L ldIClS w dlCl VI AuSuSld,
who gave an interesting and inspir-
ing address, bringing home clearly to
the young people who constituted his
audience the meaning of Memorial
Day and the obligations which rest
upon the youth of the nation. In be-
ginning he congratulated the school
upon the fine building and the pleas
ant conditions under which their
work was carried on. OF Memorial
Day he said that 1t was wonderful
experiment in faith that. the people IL
Illustrated on this day. The first ac-
tual observance was May 30, 1868,
but the idea goes back to the days of
the Greeks and Romans and even
earlier. The great deeds of the dead
and their memories were never to be
that 1t was particularly appropriate
that the day should be celebrated in
schools, for the young people Of
school age today must be the torch
bearers of tomorrow; they are the
hope of the world. Once Memorial
Day belonged almost exclusively to
the members of the Grand Army Of
the Republic and the public had lit
tie direct share in 1t, but as time
went on the view grew broader, and
now. when the men Of the Civil War
have had to lay down their task, the
nation has taken 1t up, and has made
1t memorial to all national service,
whether Of women or Of men. 1t is
service Of memory. not to g1orify
war or to call attention to It's dangers
or perils. but to emphasize service.
In all wars itis the youth Of the ma
ton that bear the brunt Of the ser
vice. And 1t Is the youth Of the ma
ton that must take up the battle of
peace to preserve the high and noble
institutions that belong to our land.
In conclusion he babe the boys and
girls remembers the flag, and that for
which 1t stands. "You are the Am
erican flag" he said, Never let it
trail in the dust"
Mr.. Walch was listened to with at
tention and his words made O def
mite Impression upon his hearers. In
conclusion Of the assembly the school
sang American" and the pupils were
then dismissed to their various olas-
ses with the memory Of an hour well
spent. \
