A child which is handicapped by having the dif. ferent ailments common to chil- public schools as a child who has a perfect physique and per. fect health; so, therefore, let's give all children the chance to become efficient in our school system 1 would also say that children who are undernourished on ac count of their parents being too poor to have the things in the way of food, which nourish the body, should at least be given free milk during the lanch hour at our school houses. If there is any one thing on earth that would appeal to the American people it would seem to me it would be this—to help those who are not able to help themeacives, and to help those children to be nourished back to health and strength by allowing them to have free milk in our schools during the period of the lunch hour, I do not believe that this should be carried on to an ex- tent of extravagance, but I do believe that we should have our nurses make a careful study and report on the chiliren who are not getting the proper nourish ment in their homes. Those children should be helped fm the best manner possible to have their bodies nourished im such & way that they can be able to keep up in their classes and not feel weak and faint from lack of food. This, of course, will have to be worked out in such « way that no extravagance will exist. Fourth—I believe that all of the teachers in our corps and all of the people who are work- ing for the school district should be 100 per cent American—that no teacher should be allowed at any time to insinuate that our government is not the best gov- ernment on the face of the earth; that no teacher should at any time be allowed to convey ideas other than American to our children, and it will be my earnest desire to have this car ried out to the last letter I wish to make this statement at this time so there will be no misunderstanding where I stand, 80 the teacher who fails to live up to my ideas of Americanism cannot look for any support from me to keep him in his po- sition. ‘As our national life now de- pends upon the principles of Americaniem as against Bol- shevier, I deem it advisable at this time to take every precau tion that our children be brought out of our schools at the end of their term of education 100 per cent American, and if electedsT will do everything in my power to bring this about.
