ably lo her hearers the problem of

acceptably.
Mrs. Toiney very skillfully gave

ohosen words. The national airs of

greutly to the interest of the evening.

J.T. Rollins gave n most timely and
interesting talk on "Patriotism." Dr,
Rollins said in part, "that true pa
triotism meant the teaching nnd ob
serving of the proper respeet for our
national emblem, and the proper re
spect and attitude when our national
anthem is played or sung. Let us
see to it that as teachers, we are
teaching history in the true spirit,
free from prejudice nnd sectarianism,
teach them true patriotism and love
of our country, whoso coining into
existence was for perfect liberty nnd
this liberty nnd freedom is ours ns
no other country hr.s ever given to its
peoples. If, need be for the defense
and protection of our beloved land
nnd for its high ideals, the mothers
are called upon to give their sons to
their country, they will do so gladly
and ns they bid them good-bye these
noble American mothers will say, 'Go
my sons nnd God be with you,' "
Dr. Rollins believes ns we ure a
great nation, we should have n modi
fied military training system in our
public schools. The mothers of the
first grade pupils served refreshments
at the close of the program. This
year the circle has been devoting their
energies to improving the school
grounds. They have finished having
