Boyle, of Norfolk, speaker at Armistice Day observance, at the K. C. hall Monday afternoon. The serice was under the auspices of Simonson Post of the American Legion. A duet by the Misses DeMaris and Irma Stout, a reading by Miss Elizabeth Latta and a chorus by the Woman’s club were numbers on the program preceding the address of Mr. Boyle. The speaker reviewed the history at arms of the nation since its found ing, pointing out that it never had fought in an unjust cause, and paid high tribute to the heroes of all of its wars. He, without mentioning the name of any organization, scored organizations which conducted their operations under hood and at night. Mr. Boyle also criticized the use of pro-British textbooks of American history in the schools and mentioned the public schools of Norfolk, O'Neill and Ainswoth, in which he said such books were used. His contention was that the study of a British-colored history of the United States of itself would lessen the respect of the younger generation for American tra ditions with a consequent lessening of the spirit of patriotism. The address of Mr. Boyle concluded the afternoon program. In the evening the confetti ball given by the the Le gion at the K. C. hall was a success both socially and financially and the dancers made merry until far after midnight.
