It is urged that the following order be read in the Public Schools on Friday, May 26th. next, that the upils may appreciate Memorial Day and what it means. Superintendents and teachers would o well to preserve this issue of our paper for that purpose. I Headquarters Department General of Pennsylvania Grand Orders I Army of the Republic. S. No. u. I W. Cor. Fifth and Chest- J nut Streets. Philadelphia, April 14, '99. I. The blossoms of Spring time re mind us that Memorial Day is again at and. Our Memorial Day is ont of sacred memories and is to be devoted to the loyal dead of the land; a day in hich a grateful people pay loving tribute to the men who died that the Nation might live s a day set apart by the Grand Army of the Republic to fittingly commemorate the glorious deeds of heroic men who fell defend ing one country and one flag. It is our haliowe l duty to partici pate in the obseivance of the cere monies of the 30th day of May, and no consideration should turn us aside from our sacred obligations. Let all the comrades unite in the piivilages and duties of the day; none should fail to join the column of those engag ed in loving and patriotic services io the memory of our dead comrades. The grave of every comrade should be marked with flags and flowers, and not one of these mounds should be neg lected. If those not of our organization de sire to join with you bid them wel come, yet let none but loyal hands touch the hallowed ground. Let us all unite in these offices of love to the memoty of our comrades n arms whose lives were cut off by the fratricidal darts of treason, r hav ing passed through the fire of battle and the barbarism of rebel prison-pens have since joined the Grand Army Encampment in the shades of the other shore. When we make our annual pilgrim age to the silent cities of the dead we will find many new mounds marking the final halting places of comiades who have fallen out by the wayside during the year, and who are now at rest under the sod and the dew. The new-made graves of soldiers and sailors rising so rapidly in or cemeteries admonish us that we are on the wesiern slope of lite and that our great organization is fast growing smaller in numbers, and that many of our comrades who have heretofore as sisted in doing honor to the memory of the dead are now in the ranks of those who have passed on before. Let us continue to keep our patn otic Memorial Day bright before the American people. "Let us so num oer our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom," so that wh done with the toils and duties of this life our names may be found among those who have been faithful to the end. The roll of the mustered-out will continue to increase until ere long the entire membership of our magn'ficient Order shall be at rest in the bivouacs of the dead and the Grand Army of the Republic will live only in history, "step by step our ranks are thinning, One by one they pass away, Here the loyal blue are falling, Yonder fall the vanquished gray ; And the so'emn hells are tolling Dust to dust and clay to clay " II. As part of our duty it is direct ed that Posts attend Divine Service n m . onaunaay, aiay 28th, to unite in praises and thanksgiving to Almighty uod tor the many blessings vouchsafed to our beloved country.

Lvery Post must take Dart in these church services and so far as practable every comrade should wear the uniform and badge of our organiz ation. III. It is urged that comrades be detailed to visit the Public Schools on one or more days of the week com mencing May 2 2d, to instruct the boys and girls in the great lessons of the v ar of the Rebellion, and Post Com manders should impress upon the comrades the grave responsibility of this duty because children are keen critics and scan actions more than words. Comrades ol the war should remember tint they are the living epistles of patriotism and that they are teaching the youth of the land not only by precept but by example. IV. In places where there are two or more Posts a division of Memorial Day work will be arranged for by the Officers or Committees from each Post ading in concert. V.

The only name which the Grand Armv has for it is Memorial Day, and it is hoped that the comrades and their friends, the general public, and thenewspapeis throughout the State, will on every occasion insist on the only proper and authorized name Memorial Day.
