Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1891-07-06

Some of our patriotic citizens, inclu-
ding the G.. A. R. Post, propose to have
a suitable flag procured for the open
ing of the fall term, which shall be
erected on the village school building.
The custom now coming in vogue
through the county of displaying the
ssStars and Stripes" on the school
houses of the land is one that COM
mends itself to every patriotic citizen.
To say nothing of the beauty of the
flag itself, the lessons it will teach the
children will be what every child OF
the Republic should learn in his early
years We will give some further no
tice in regard to this.
