Soldiers are not the only ones who are occupying underground shelters. Many of them have been converted into schoolrooms and there little children are assembled .or lessons every day.

The picture shows one of these cave-schools in the city of Rheims. Many of the pupils are orphans and all of them are the children of fathers who are fighting for France.

Read How Easy It Is

We will provide any teacher, upon request, with 135 artistic Emblematic Pins each showing in national colors Old Glory, the Union Jack of England and the Tri-Color of France. These pins are beauties and at only ten cents each are quickly sold by the pupils to their parents and friends, who are not only glad to help the pupils, but also to procure a pin that symbolizes America and her brave Allies. When all the pins have been sold, send the proceeds to us and we will immediately forward, charges prepaid, this beautiful Emblem, including Shield, Eagle, Five Flags, 12 Pictures, etc., just as described.

The people of your community will become as interested in this school enterprise as the pupils, and will gladly buy the pins not only because of the patriotic and educational nature of the undertaking, but also because of the value of a pin as a patriotic insignia.

Every Teacher who feels the
pulse beat of American Patriotism can find
in the inspiring presence of this beauti-
ful Emblem of Victory the Inspiration
for a hundred lessons in American
Patriotism and American Ideals. It also
affords the pupils an opportunity to be-
come familiar with the handsome flags of
the Allied nations and with the faces of 12
of the great War Heroes of the world.

This Beautiful Emblem is 4 ft. High
Read This Description

This large beautiful Emblem of Victory
is 4 feet in height and consists of a
handsome wood shield in brilliant national
colors, with a rich gilt border, the stars
and stripes typifying the Original Thirteen
Colonies. Surmounting the Shield is the
fighting American Eagle, in mache, com-
pletely finished in gilt. From the top
of the Shield projects in a semi-circle the
national colors of the United States in the
center, England and Belgium on one side
and France and Italy on the other -- all
flags of silk with gilt spear heads. To
complete the artistic effect, there hangs
from each side a red, white and blue girdle
ending in a tassel. It is utterly impos-
sible to convey an idea by this illustration
of the brilliant and striking colors of this
Emblem. It must be seen to be appre-
ciated.

The remarkable and unique feature of this Emblem is the clever device behind the Shield by which in a moment's time you may remove the picture of President Wilson and display any one of eleven other War Heroes shown, all of which are included with this Emblem. These splendid pictures are all accompanied by biographical sketches,affording occasion for 12 separate object lessons in Current History, giving the children an acquaintance with their lives, and a familiarity with the faces of the men who are now making World History.

No American School can afford to be without thi
beautiful Patriotic Emblem of Victory, now that it may be
secured without cost. It will help to keep the spirit of Patriot-
ism foremost in the minds and hearts of your pupils and t.
commemorate the service of the boys from your community
who have gone "over there." No child who learns to
love and appreciate this Emblem of Victory will ever
be anything but a true American citizen, and the
teacher who brings this powerful influence for
American Patriotism into his or her school de-
serves the thanks of the entire community.

Twice the Service

At Half the Cost

Half the size of an ordinary upright, and weighing
about half as much, one of these little pianos in a
school means more music for more rooms than two of
the larger, heavier instruments. Two small boys can
easily move the Miessner from room to room
men can easily carry it up or down stairs.

The Miessner stands only 3 feet, 7 inches high. It
has a keyboard of full seven octaves and a tone as
big, full and pure as that of any upright or small
grand. It costs about half as much as the ordinary
upright.
