' It is Thanksgiving Day. j
Feasting' and good cheer are in order. The year's work
nears its end. A fertile soil has yielded its bounty. The
time, for many, is one of celebration, of merrymaking-.
But the holiday was conceived in misery. Pilgrims lashed
by' intolerance fled to America. Storms forced them fiTm
their Virginian goal and brought them to the forbidden coast
of1 Massachusetts. '
' There they scratched in the diit and planted their crops
with' 'one eye on the Indians.
But sickness had taken its toll among the redskins, and
they were friendly to the settlers.
'"''In the' autumn the Pilgrims harvested their crops and
made ready for the winter and its rigors.
it was a great contrast, iney landed with nothing; now
they had comparative abundance.
" Humbly, they bowed their heads and gave thanks to an j
almighty providence.
They bade the Indians come from the forest and join them
in three.' days of feasting and thanksgiving. ' The joyous
, laughter of, high-hatted men and hooded women metJiie
stoical faces of jthe' natives.
"""So""was llie' first Thanskgiving Day in America observed.
That spirit, continuing, was, in 1864, to inspire the proc
lamation' which made the observance of Thanksgiving in
November an annual holiday from that time on.

leen set against brother. .
The false economic prosperity of the war days ruled the
market place. The nation was battle-weary and afraid.
Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of this unrest, proclaimed
that the fourth Thursday in November of that year, and of
succeeding years, should 'be set aside as a day of thanks
giving. 'Wars and depressions in many years have made a deep
imprint on the observances, but always the holiday carries
through.
And so today does it bring to 1933 the spirit first expressed
in 1621 the spirit of gratitude for blessings received, of
thankfulness too for troubles averted. '
Again the nation bows its head. ...

PARIS PACT

As a member of the committee on
the Paris Pact and International Re
lations in American High Schools for
1933-1934, J. H. Blunt has just re
ceived the announcements end ma
terial for ti study cf the pact. It
is now entering on the fifth year of
the study and many thousands of
high school students In every state
and territory of the United States
have taken part.
"Teachers everywhere feel that Am- ;
erica should take the lead in an at
tempt to outlaw war. Many solutions
have been offered. One very general
belief is that a better understanding
of the needs and problems of nations
will do much to create a better feel
ing and this woud tend to settle dis
putes by arbitration rather than by
war. The educators feel that these
should be a part cf the curriculum
in every high school in the United ;
States," Mr. Blunt said. j
The Paris Pact was inaugurated In
1325 by 15 leading nation of the y
world. Others have adhered to n, ;

and of international law. The N. E. A.
urges the high schools to take up a '
study of the pans pact.
