MILWAUKEE,. June Is
(AP) Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt said last night that
discipline begins for Russian
children at the age Of 2
months and by time they are
8 months old they do pull
up" exercises.
1.-THE children seem happy
and secure" she said at the

lean Home Economies AS
ISOLATION, "but to an Amer
lean eye they appear appall-
ingly disciplined"
Describes Visit
She described q recent visit
to a Russian state-run nurs-
cry in which she watched
6-months-old babies pull
themselves up to q sitting
position the required number
of times and then stop
because attendants have ac-
customed them to that exer-
else ct exactly the same time
every day.
Russian education Ii not
only designed to produce dis
ciplined citizens" she said.
"but is also carefully thought
out for political purposes"
She said the Russian govern
ment pays students extra for
each foreign language they
learn--a system which in
sures the government of
technicians in various fields
who can be sent to other
countries.
"It is the best way to in
filtrate that you possibly
have" she said. The knowl-
edge Of the country's Lam
guage not only would endear
the technician to Its people
but also enable him to spread
Communist theology among
them"

DR.. Davis said that If PSYCHE

and the woods were filled
with deer and wild turkey.
Governor William Brad
ford and the Plymouth
Council deliberated gravely.
1t was fitting, they
thought, to celebrate and
give thanks for their good
fortune.
The Pilgrims issued a for
NAL invitation to Massasoit,
grand sachem of the Polka
moket Indians, to join them in
a feast of Thanksgiving. Mas
sassoit arrived with 80 of his
followers and stayed for three
days! There was a great
round of entertainment and
feasting.
For Freedoms Sake
AS with all Thanksgiving
Days since that first celebra-
ton at Plymouth, it was an
occasion that combined gaiety
with solemnity. The devout
Pilgrims added prayers Of
thanks to ther feasting.
The days of suffering, how
ever, were not yet over. Fa-
mine was to come to Ply
mouth again in succeeding
winters. But for the Pilgrims
once they had set foot on
Plymouth Rock there was no
thought of turning back.
They came to build a So
ciety of free men in the in
hospitable wilderness and
this they were determined
to do.
In later years, Governor
Bradford wrote in his famous
History of Plymouth Planta-
tion::" Out of small begin
nings greater things have
been produced. AS one small
candle may light a thousand,
so the light here kindled hath
shone onto many"
He, Of course, could not
know that the light he helped
to kindle would one day shine
throughout the earth.

Indians To Rescue
Early in March, 1921, in
credibly cold winter finally
began to recede.
On March 26th another
hopeful event took place when
Samoset, grand sachem of the
Monhegan , Indians, entered
the village exclaiming "Wel-
come"
Through him the Puritans
b e C a m e acquainted with
Squanto, and these two Indi-
ans played an important role
in the history of the Colony.
They told the Pilgrims to
plant Indian corn "when
the oakleaves are as big as
mouse-ears," and to catch
fish to fertilize the soil.
Thus the seeds were sown
for the first Thanksgiving
harvest. q
Twenty-one men and "six
large boys'' the entire sur
viving able-bodied male work
ing force of the colony = did
the planting. They had no
horses or other domestic an
imals.
With heavy hoes they broke
the earth, and planted 20
acres of corn. Then they SOW
ed 6 more acres with wheat,
rye, barley and peas.
Bountiful Harvest
1t was a warm and bright
summer, and the crops grew
and thrived.
When autumn arrived, the
three log warehouses were
filled with provisions. BY this
time the Plymouth Colony
