Praises School System
On State matters he said:
"Our system of education is stead
lily progressing. Modern up-to-date
buildings are increasing in numbers
and our methods are equal to those
of any other State. A new branch
the kindergarten-haS been installed
during the past year. Personally,
congratulate our State board and it's
efficient superintendent, DR.. Hollo-
way and I am of the opinion that
our State Grange should commend
them for the excellent work they are
doing.
along the line of education, we
should teach our people more about
the matter of conserving our timber
and also the conservation of our
wild life. While hunting and fishing
may, on first thought, seem a very
insignificant subject, yet, after ma
ture deliberation, most everyone will
concede it to be a very important
item in the makeup of a States
welfare. Every State in the Union
is coming to realize this and vast
sums are being spent to conserve our
birds, wild animals and fish. Our
farmers are more and more realizing
that our bird life should be protect
ed, and in our own State, thousands
of dollars are brought in each year
by sportsmen from neighbOring
States. My own observation is that
man who fishes for sport, is gen
orally considered a good and con-
tented citizen. Every State sup
ports a game commission, but, un-
fortunately, so many of these COM
missions are so politically controlled
that their efficiency is curtailed. A
Statewide Sportsman's Association
ought to be big help to our COM
mission.
again this year l desire to call
your attention to the celebration of
the 20th anniversary of the birth of
George Washington the father OF
our country.
"Just now, more than ever, do we
want to promote a sense of loyalty
to our country. A spirit of unrest is
prevalent throughout the world and
it behooves us as individuals and |
as an organization to do everything |
in our power to bring about a CON
dition of peace and happiness.
Washington Celebration
1--WE can commemorate his life in |
10 better way than by the planting |
of trees. ! also recommend that each |
Pomona, Subordinate and Juvenile
Grange in the State, set aside one
entire session on or near the % OF
February, for an unusually elaborate
celebration of WashingtOn's birth
day anniversary.
"Our present disrespect for law
threatens our security of govern
ment, as well as our life, health and
"The 18th Amendment should be
ubeyed Legaling the use of liquor
and the return of the saloon, will
not bring about a condition of pros
perity and peace, neither will it end
unrest.
1.-The task of enforcement of the
law and process of education, is a
tremendous one, but should and L
believe will succeed.
Let us individually and as an or
sanization do our duty and strive
10 make our order better, bigger and
stronger and this make our influ-
ence felt i'm our several commum-
lies and in our State and through
lut our country"
