THE FLAG AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
The bennington Graded school Claims
First Place.
From the Bennington banner

From the Bennington Banner
The public schools of Brattleboro took a
patriotic step when they planted flag staff
on the school grounds, aud ran flag up
for the first time in the presence of the as
semhled villagers and all the members Of
the school, That was last week II should
have been done years ago as it is being
done by all the leading schools in the coun
try now. The Bennington graded school
was probably the first in the country to
erect flag staff and procure a flag for ex
elusive use on its building The flag has
been an adjunct Of the school in this place
since 1873, and the fact that such use was
made of it here was often noticed and com
mented upon by strangers who visited the
town. The New England Journal Of Edu-
cation recently called attention to the fact
10y saying The United States flag was
raised over the public school at Bennington
in 1873 This is supposed to be the first in
PRODUCTION of the national culurs 10 any
school in the country"
This is probably good history. 1t is az
least a fact that, since the close of the year
1873, no term of school has been held in the
graded school building during some part of
which the schools flag did not float over it,
and in this service several flags have been
worn out.
The school at present runs up daily 10
