flag committee are wanting and conse-
puently some points about the details
of our national ensign are matters
open to question, though most were
explained by subsequent statements.
it is interesting to study the flag in
detail and to learn the known or the
hurmised reasons for each detail.
Just why the stripes were chosen as
the main symbols OF the banner of the
new republic is q problem for which
various solutions have been offered
One explanation that is brought for
ward is the fact that stripes land stars
alsol are prominent features of the
coat-of-arms of the Washington fami-
ly, but those who understand the
spirit of &c believe that family coat
of-arms had little influence with stern
old John Adams and the continental
congress.
1t is more probable that stripes were
selected as dual compliment to New
York and the Dutch republic. The
New York soldiers in the continental
army were fighting under an ensign
consisting of three broad horizontal
stripes similar in position. size and
color to the stripes of the flag OF the
most heroic and conspicuous republic
of modern times prior to l7s6. or the
United Provinces of the Netherlands,
ordinarily known as the Dutch re
public" Most of the early settlers OF
New York were Dutch. hence the copy
ing of the Dutch flag. The choice of
stripes was compliment to republican
principles and graceful tribute to the
large New York force in the army. a
contingent then discouraged by the
long occupation of New York city by
Lord Howe and by the coming invasion
of Gen Burgoyne.
The number of thirteen stripes was
chosen as symbolic of the thirteen
states. Contrasting colors, i. e.. white
with either blue or red. were necessary
for the colors of the stripes. and red
was preferred to blue. as il was more
distinct at a distance, for which reason
red was chosen as the color OF the top

ensign consisting of three horizon

arranged in circle. A variation of
this was adopted as battle flag in
September, 1861. and consisted of red
field charged with blue saltier with
narrow border of white, on which
saltier shone thirteen white stars. In
1868 this battle flag was followed by
one with a white field, having the bat
tie flag as its union. But the 63 flag
was so often mistaken for one of truce
that early in 'G5 it was called in and a
substitute was given out having an
outer vertical bar of red, but being
otherwise the same as the confederate
banner Of 1868. This last was the flag
that covered the followers of Gen.
Kirby Smith, when they surrendered

lCoPYRIGHT. 1893.

In fully one-half of the public
schools of the country next Wednes-
day will be observed as the anniversary
of the adoption of the United State S
flag. On June Il, 1777, the congress of
the thirteen original states sitting in
Philadelphia adopted the first common
American ensign, one which with
minor change in the stars of the
union is identical with our present
national banner. About five or six
years ago public schools in the old
commonwealth of Massachusetts, at
the suggestion of the board of educa-
ton, began to celebrate the anniver-
sary, some simply with recitations and
declarations, others with appropriate
historical papers, professions and sing
ing of patriotic songs. From the Old

runs the full length OF the lag, wnIIe
New Hampshire's begins at the outer
border of the union.
The presence of the stars in the
Washington arms is thought by some to
explain the choice of stars as one of
the symbols of the republic. but this
view is ordinarily rejected. Another
explanation is that when blue was as
signed as the color of the union red
and white having already been used in
the stripes and it was required to have
thirteen symbolic figures in the blue.
stars were taken as the most appro-
pirate to appear in blue field. The
blue was allegorically said to repre-
sent the night of affection then STROUD
ing the nation, relieved by thirteen
stars Of hope. In the first flag the stars
were arranged as the circumference of
circle, to typify the endless duration
of the new nation. The union was
made square and was brought down to
the eighth stripe that its blue might
show against the contrasting white of
that stripe.
Orange. white and blue were the
colors of the old Dutch republic of the
preceding century and appeared on the
banners of the New York regiments.
BY a simple change of the first they
were made into our national colors.
Fifteen years later the same colors
were chosen to represent the new
French republic, and red was then
held to represent the blood of patriots,
white the purity of patriotism and
blue the smiles of Heaven.
Though the national flag was
adoptedtin June, formal announcement
and flying of it was postponed until
September 3. The first public use was
made by bold Paul Jones, who ran it
up to the masthead of his staunch brig
the Ranger, at Portsmouth, and put to
sea at once to prove himself terror to
English merchant shipping.
Since that fateful April morning at
Concord little more than two years be-
fore, the patriots had fought under
multiplicity of flags. Nearly every col
ony had from one to four or five sets OF
