THANKSGIVING DAY
Appropriate Exercises to Be
Held in Each of the City
Schools
Thanksgiving will be observed in
each of the public schools of Birming
ham, according to anrf^uncement made
yesterday by Dr. J. H. Phillips, super
intendent..
The following; letter was sent by Dr.
Phillips to each of the principals of the
several schools dealing with the plans
for the annual observance:
“It is the request of the board of edu
cation that the usual Thanksgiving ex
ercises of the public schools be held in
each school on Thursday morning, No
vember 27. The exercises may be held
by classes or combination of classes
at the discretion of the principal. They
will begin at 8:45 and close about 10
a. m., when the schools will be dis
missed until Monday, morning, De
cember 1.
“The attendance on Thanksgiving
morning will be credited in lieu of that
of Friday. Parents and friends are in
vited.
“As a special feature of the Thanks
giving observance in the schools, the
usual Thanksgiving offering of pupils
and parents will be received. The
principal will place the amount collect
ed in the hands of the secretary, D.
T. Simpson. The Thanksgiving offer
ing of the schools will be distributed
by the board of education among thq
several public charity organizations of
the city. A report of the total offer
ing by schools will be sent to the prin
cipal.
“Principals and teachers are urged to
provide for their schools such exercises
as shall be in keeping with the true
spirit of the day. For many years
Thanksgiving Day in the Birmingham
schools has been the most helpful and
the most joyous day of the school year.
To concentrate lor one hour the atten
tion' of 30,000 of the youth of Bir-*
mingham upon thoughts of gratitude to
Mod and His manifold blessings, the
translation of that gratitude into un
selfish offerings for the poor, should be
regarded by teachers and parents as
a rare opportunity."

Rooting Out the Reds
The shots from the I. W. W. Headquarters in Centralia, Washington,
which killed four veterans of the World War and wounded others in an Ar
mistice Day parade, give dramatic emphasis to the fact that a year after Ger
many’s open war on civilization was defeated, we are still being attacked by
sinister forces of revolution and anarchy which Germany, many believe,
turned loose upon the world by way of Russia. That the American public is
rapidly losing patience with the organized and persistent efforts of foreign
theorists to destroy American institutions is evidenced in many directions.
Not only is the Department of Justice rounding up suspects in every part of
the country, but there are pending in Congress fifty-two bills which are de
signed to give the Government all the authority needed to deal with the Bol
* shevik, anarchist and other anti-American organizations. A sample of the teachings
brought to light by the Government’s raids is the manifesto of the Federation of Unions
of Russian Workers of the United States and Canada. It advocates among other things:
Capture of all products and means of production; liberation of all political prisoners; the
blowing up of all barracks; the murder of law-enforciitg officials; the burning of public
records; destruction of fences and all property lines; the destruction of all instruments of
indebtedness.
Thoughtful men and women who have the future welfare of our country at heart will
read with the deepest interest the article in this week’s LITERARY DIGEST, dated No
vember 22. It shows what steps the Government has taken to suppress violent outbreaks,.
suggestions for the punishment of those arrested, and a clear explanation revealed by cap
$ tured documents qf just what the un-American forces of violence are attempting to
accomplish.
