1 have carefully examined " Patriotic Selections for Memorial Day," comi)iletl by<br />

Miss Harriet L Matthews and Miss Eli/.al)cth E. Rule, and dedicated to the Grand<br />

Army of the Kepuhlic. I heartily a])iirove of the work and wish it could he placed in<br />

the hands of all the children in our i)ublic schools. In no way can future wars he<br />

averted better than by teaching our children patriotism. Impressions made upon their<br />

young minds by reading and recitation are lasting, and no better selections can be<br />

found than arc contained in this volume. JiiiiN G. 15. Adams,<br />
