Monday Begins a Half-Price Clearaway of All Odd Pieces and SimYs in the Furniture Sale , Honor Brings Responsibility To be born in Philadelphia, where the nation was born, is an honor with distinctive individual responsibilities, To live near to the historic battle grounds, of which Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell are the center, imposes upon us patriotic leader ship. It is impossible to forget Valley Forge. To live in the city which was the home of the first President of the .united states superimposes upon city and city otticiais and the public , generally the duty of setting the example to the entire United States of observing the birthday of the Father of his Country by patriotic ceremonies of a reverential and impressive character. An education at the city's expense in the public schools of 6245 teachers and officials and its future citizens of 209,888 scholars creates an obligation on the part of those, receiving it to become thoroughly acquainted with the part Philadelphia had in the Bevolutionary War and the lives of the heroic men and women of that period; and by annual public exercises of a public nature to quicken their patriotism and pride in their city. Every citizen and corporation should endeavor to promote the honor of this' first American city by being and doing such things as will add to the city's influence in' the United States and its fame across the seas.
