In a public statement rolca
this week. Poynter calls attention t
the not'd for the children’s institu
tion;
notice notifying the voters of school
district number seven that on Juno
19th there will be submitted to them
the proposition of establishing a
kindergarten in our school for the
coming year There are many reas
ons why this new unit should be
established.
Necessary Space Available
First, however it should be made
clear that establishment of this unit
will not call for any great outlay of
budget funds. The district already
has a qualified teacher and very
much of the equipment necessary
to promote a kindergarten is now
on hand The two large rooms in
the David Hill building vacated by
the nursery school recently, gives
the kindergarten necessary space.
"The kindergarten age would be
five years on or before November
15. This is an age when a child is
deceoping rapidly, both physically
and mentally. Physically he is
growing larger and is perfecting the
control over his muscles. He is very-
near the end of a period of very-
rapid growth usually known as
'early childhood.’ In five years he
has changed from a helpless baby to
an alert and often very strenuous
child, full of energy and with re-

It was the Apoatle Paul who wrote:
' Whatsoever a man »oweth. that .«hall he
also reap.” This is a truth which canno*
be disputed. It applies to all human af-
The things that are haopening today
are the result of things that have been
done in the past. In the world about us.
there is turmoil, »trite, crime, human suf-
fering, uncertainty in economic condi
tions. distrust among nation«,
and ’he
world is tottering on the brink of another
These conditions are just tht fruit» of f
the seeds that have I seen sown gre*Ml,
avarice, envy, hate, lu»t for power, fab«
economic theories, and over-reaching of
fellowman.
With three troublesome and disturl inv
conditions about us. it is refreshing to
sto^ and reflect for a few moments to-
day and see if we cannot plant a few
seeds which will bear the fruit of love
for country, respect for our laws and con
stitution, a greater veneration for those
who made the sacrifices that we might en-
j< y the privileges, the liberties, and th«
Ideaaings which are ours t« day ; restore :
little confidence in our fellowman
help to steer this nation’» course in the
way of peace.
If these are the things we want
morrow, then today we must plant
^eed which will bear that kin«l of fruit.
For, whatsoever a nation sows, tha»
hall
it also reap.
Memorial Day was instituted to honor
ihe soldiers who were killeil in the Civil
War. On May 5, 1868. Genera! John A
Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, issue«! a general
< riler designating May 30 for tbe purpose
of strewing with flowers, or otherwise
decorating, graves of comrades who died
in defense of their country during tbe
late rebellion, expressing himself thus
‘ With the hope that it will be kept ur
from year to year.” In 1882. the Gran«!
Army of the Republic, by resolution, urged
that the proper designation of May 30 wa
“Memorial Day,” not “Decoration Day.”
Since its first observance. May .30 ha
been made a legal holiday in practically
every state in the Union, an«! states that
do not «observe May 30 observe some other
«lay for the same purpose.
Since the time Memorial Day was insti
tuted, the United States has engaged in
two major wars
