COMMEMORATE
NATAL DAY OF
COL. ROOSEVELT
As the time for preparation was ex
tremely short, a very informal pro
gram has been prepared for the cele
bration of Theodore Roosevelt’s birth
day, next Monday afternoon at 1:45
o’clock. The program is as follows:
Flag salute.
Song by School—“We’ll Never Let
Our Old Flag Fall.”
Sketch of Theodore Roosevelt’s Life
—Headlee Lamprey.
Recitation—“The Hard-Work Plan,"
Beverly McKenney.
Reading — “Theodore Roosevelt,”
Pierre De Ville.
Reading—“To My Brother,” Brook
Lamprey.
Song—“Loyalty.”
Reading—“Roosevelt’s Creed,” Will
iam McCowan.
Reading—“A Tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt,” Margaret Foster.
Addresses—“The Roosevelt Memo
rial Association and Its Plans,” Geo.
C. Hazelet and F. H. Foster.
Song—“America.”
A committee of pupils will be ap
pointed to assist in collecting funds
for Cordova’s part in carrying out the
plans of the Roosevelt Memorial As
sociation.
--
Next Monday, the anniversary of
Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, is the
day on which campaigning for mem
bership in the Roosevelt Memorial As
sociation will be started in Alaska.
No special apportionment has as yet
been made for this territory.
The aim of the movement is to raise
ten million dollars. Small subscrip
tions from a large number of donors
are preferred to larger amounts of
money given by a few people; for the
real goal is to “pass on to succeeding
generations the inspiration of the life
and character of Theodore Roosevelt,”
a purpose which should be backed by
the whole of American citizenship.
The committee in charge is planning
on a suitable monument to be placed
in Washington, D. C.; and they also
purpose to buy a park at Oyster Bay
which in time shall include the Roose
velt home at Sagamore Hill. This
will be treated as the Mount Vernon
imimmmiimnimimlltimilinilllMllllinillllllltllllllinilllllinilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllli!-- I
home o£ Washington, where everything
remains just as the first great Ameri
can left it.
The high school pupils and the Boy
Scouts will canvass the town until
the 15th of November for members of
the association, and each subscriber
will receive a membership certificate.
One of the phases of Theodore
Roosevelt’s nature which impressed
me strongly was his interest in chil
dren and his love for them. A de
voted father, he corresponded regu
larly with his children when absent
from them. Many a time on camping
trips with him I have seen him write
letters to them about some interesting
feature of the day’s doings, frequently
illustrating them with spirited little
comic sketches; and I know that even
in the White House he was not too
busy to show his affection in the same i
way.
For all children he had a great and
abiding kindness. He understood them
thoroughly. He believed, if every any
one did, that the boy was father to the
man; and that if the boy’s life had
the proper influences surrounding it
there need be no worry about the
course of the next generation. It was
only such a man who could write:
“Of course what we have a right to
expect of the American boy is that he
shall turn out to be a good American
man. Now, the chances are strong
that he won’t be much of a man un
less he is a good deal of a boy. He
must not be a coward or a weakling,
a bully, a shirk, or a prig. He must
work hard and play hard. He must
be clean-minded and clean-lived, and
able to hold his own under all circum
stances and against all comers. It
is only on these conditions that he will
grow into the kind of a man of whom
America can really be proud.”—Ex
tract from an article by John M. Par
ker, “Colonel Roosevelt’s Wax with
Children,” in Normal Instructor,
October, 1919.
