The Ruth Lockie Memorial Prizes in United States History. VVhereas our daughter, Ruth Gustine Lockie, having been called from this to the life beyond, just as she was approaching her graduation from the Springneld High School, and, Since she was passionately fond of her studies in United States History and intensely patriotic, and, Since the present, and the years immediately before us call and will continue to call, even more loudly than those through which we have recently passed, for a purer Americanism, a love of country that shall know no second, and a lofty national spirit that shall make us jealously to guard against every attempt, from Within or without, to tear down, or forego, or change in any respect those time honored prin- ciples and practices by which we have as a nation attained our present exalted position, Therefore, in memory of her who has gone away, to the end that national patriotism may be increased-more intelligent love of country inspired,-and un- tarnished integrity in her service developed,-the undersigned purpose to establish for a series of years The Ruth Gustine Loclcie Historical Prizesn to be contested for during each school year by the members of the graduating class in United States History for that school year. The prizes shall consist of S50 cash divided as follows: 3525, 315, and S10-to be awarded to the three members of the class graduating in June who shall present the three best papers of their own composition, containing about 3,000 words, the papers to be typewritten, and to be in the hands of the judges not later than the 31st of lllarch in each year. The judges shall be chosen by the founders of the prizes or as they may direct, the Principal of the High School, and the Head of the History Department. In no case are any of the judges to be relatives of, nor shall they have been instructors of, any of the contestants. The subject for the year 1919-1920 shall be 'fAmerican Patriotism, and what it lyfeans to Me . The underlying purpose to be, as always, the inculcation of pa- triotism. If the result shall be to inspire, in the Springfield High School, a purer Americanism, a loftier conception of duty and a more disinterested devotion to our countryis welfare, then the young 1iferof her who has left us will not have been lived in vain. That this may be realized is the wish of the donors. Signed: OLIVE C. LOCKIE, G. D. LOCKIE, W. E. ARCHIBALD. Page Twenty-two
