H.J. Heinz Company, 1940
This year twenty-three million young Americans in our public schools will be putting down roots into the deep riches of American culture and they will be learning, along with their three R's, the history and traditions, the stories and songs of our great land:
''I love thy rocks and rills
Thy woods and templed hills...''
Thy rocks—veiled by the fine, cool spray of waterfalls.
Thy rills—the shallow brown rivulets, edged with forget-me-nots, that crisscrossed the low fields, early in spring.
Thy woods, where your gathered the first pale arbutus for the teacher's desk.
The hills, templed with apple orchards and solemn evergreens...
