From observation brI find that the minds of children who study history early expand more rapidly than those whobrare restricted to the limits of stories in readers. While teaching pupils to read, why not fix in their brminds the names and deeds of our great men, thereby laying the foundation of historical brknowledge and instilling true patriotism into their youthful souls?brbrSecondly, in looking over the lives of our American heroes we find not one which presents brsuch a picture of moral grandeur as that of Lee. Place this picture before the little ones and you brcannot fail to make them look upward to noble ideals. brbr Mary L. Williamson, 1898brbrLloyd James hails from the Midwest.
