Tracing the historical facts which show that education is one of the principles upon which a living nation is built and exists, the speaker de clared that the first principles of patriotism were taught in the schools.

Stored heat does nearly half the iron ing. Current is needed only about half the time a noteworthy saving. Heating irons on a range wastes 98 of the heat. Using a G-E Iron conserves all the heat, and cuts down current cost. This is a contribution to fuel economy which will help win the war. The G-E Iron has been used by house wives for fifteen years. Its ability to stand up under long service is universally known. It is constructed of the best materials avail able, and under ordinary conditions will last for many years.
