OUR PATRIOTIC CORRIDOR It is fitting and proper that the decoration of the foyer of the Lincoln Junior High School be dedicated to the building and preservation of our nation. It emphasizes good citizenship and outstanding events in American history. The walls of a light orange color are bordered by a hand-painted design. Entering by the front entrance one sees on the right a picture of llLiberty, Equality, Fraternity, after the original by Edward Simmons in the Appellate Court Room of the Criminal Courts Buildings, in New kYork City. On the left is uThe Fates, also by Edward Simmons and in the same collection as the former. The two correspond in color and arrangement. Entering the main corridor one is immediately impressed by a picture of Saint Gaudenls statue of Lincoln in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The statue reveals all the characteristics of Lincoln. stability, tenacity, and reflection. At the left is 'lThe Boy Lincoln, by Eastman Johnson. At the extreme left is uThe Reading of the Declaration of Independence, by Edwin Austin Abbey after the original in the Pennsylvania capitol. Across the hall from this is TlWashington Crossing the Delaware, by Emanuel Leutze. At the extreme right is T'William Penn's Treaty With the Indians, by Edwin Austin Abbey. Over the doors leading to the auditorium are inscribed statements of prin- ciples on Which our government is founded. Above the left entrance is the open book and the inscription, iiYe shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye free. John 8:32. Over the middle door is the United States shield and the words, uGovernment of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. Over the right door are the doves of peace and the scale of justice and the words, ilJustice that God and man do equally adore. 20
