Our holiday for September is — Labor Day! This year (2025) Labor Day is celebrated on September 1st. It is on the first Monday of September every year. Labor Day was made a national holiday when Grover Cleveland signed it into law on June 28, 1894.

Labor Day
My father is a carpenter.
I like to watch him work.
He has a big box full of tools.
I like to see him drive the nails.
He holds the hammer in his right hand.
The nails go in straight.
They go in just the right places.
He did not go to work to-day.
This is a holiday. This is Labor Day.
Labor Day comes in September.
It is the first Monday.
I think that it is a queer name for a holiday.
My father said that labor means work.
Labor Day is a day for the workingmen.
On Labor Day they have a parade, like the one in the one in the picture.
Father and I went to see the parade.
I like to see parades.
I like to see the men march.
I like to hear the music.
It makes me want to March too.
Left! Right! Left! Right!
That is what the music says to me.
Someday I may be in a parade.
I may be in the parade on labor day.
Father says that it is good for men to work.
He says that it is good for little boys.
Then work is good for me.
What can a little boy do?
This is what my father said.
Do your best wherever you are.
That means at home and at school.
Help everyone you can.
Be honest and brave and pure.
That is the kind of boys we want.
That is the kind of workingmen we need.
Our country needs them on Labor Day.
Our country needs them everyday.
