Practical Movement to Teach Patriotism
in the Public Schools-History of the Move

One of the fundamental principles of the
Woman's Relief Corps Auxiliary to the Gran
Army of the Republic is to teach patriotism
not only in the family. but in the communities
of which they form part.
In the great patriotic movement to teach
patriotism in the public schools, the Woman's
Relief Corps is destined to play an important
part. This movement was started by Col.

New York City, in 1887, and through his efforts

Through this salute especially the children
of the Republic its little citizens, express their
sense of gratitude for and appreciation of the
great privileges and opportunities which the
system Of education in the Public Schools es-
tablished and maintained by the State freely
confers upon and gives them.
Thus citizens and little citizens, each with
their whole soul. with one voice. heart and hand
united, seek to indicate by this act their pro-
found respect and love for, their loyal alleg-
ance to and their honest pride in this free
country of their birth or of their adoption, its
language and its flag.

And so with this salute begins the patriotic
education of each little citizen.

THE RELIEF CORPS MOVEMENT.

The Woman's Relief Corps is the first great
body OF workers to adopt this movement and
pledge itself to secure its adoption in the
schools of every State and Territory in the
Nation. Indiana formally adopted the work at
10th annual Convention, held last Spring.
Eleventh National Convention adopted the
work in session at indianapolis

the first to bring the patriotic works to the
attention of the Grand Army Encam pment,
resulting in the general movement to place the
flag on every schOol-house.
The Grand Army has not yet, however, com.
mitted itself SO wholly to the work as the
Woman's Relief Corps has done.
In letter from Comrade Foster, following
Convention, he says:

This plan has also been officially adopted by
the United States Government in it's Indian
schools, situated in "a States and Territories.
and on Feb. % last, Washington's birthday,
10000 Indian children, representing $50 bands
and tribes saluted the fag and by ballot voted
to salute the National flag every day at the
opening exercises of their schools.
The Presbyterian Board of Home Missions has
under advisement the adoption of this plan of
patriotic instruction in all its Mission Schools

The schools of the Baron de Hirsch fund Of
New York City and many individual schools
have adopted the work. The primers and leaflets

THE FLAG SALUTE
It will be observed that in the resolutions
of National Convention no particular form of
salute is indicated, but as Indiana has already
adopted the patriotic salute in use in New York
City, and as it cannot possibly be improved
upon, 1t will be taken for granted that this is
the salute intended by Convention.
1t may be expected, then, that before 18th
National Convention a very general movement
will have been inaugurated, whereby thousands
OF American children shall salute the flag as
regularly as they enter the school-houses for
the day.
Here is the manual as adopted by Indiana
WR.C., and which they are trying TO introduce
into the schools. Let all the other Departments
fall into line speedily in this great and glorious
cause.
MANUAL OF THE PATRIOTIC SALUTE.
The Salute.
This is not a military salute, made in obed-
ence to the cast-iron requirements of military
discipline III which the heart may possibly not
beat In unison with the movements of the hand
but rather one of the methods which an Amer
lean citizen, proud of his country and it's in
stitutions, takes to express his thankfulness to
Almighty God that he lives in Republic where
the people govern themselves, where the equal
rights OF every man before the law are ac-

situation is likely to remain unchanged
in the senate for month at least. Al
the end of that time the Republican sen.
ators, realizing the determination of theil
silver colleagues and knowing that delay
can continue indefinitely, will III all prob
ability suggest compromise to the silver
men. The exact terms Of this can not
now be predicted, but it will strike a
middle line between free coinage and un-
conditional repeal. 1t will be accepted
by the silver men on both sides of the
chamber and will be passed.
TO STAMPEDE THE SENATE.
The effort now will be to stampede the
senate and have the Sherman law, or
rather the effective part of it, wiped from
the statute books at once. 1t is evident
that there is to be grand rush upon the
upper house now that the lower body has
done its work. The newspapers have been
given the task of hammering the "un-
reasonable senators who stand out against
the restoration of confidence and the re-
turn of good times" and right thoroughly
they are doing their work.
MORE COMPROMISE TALK.
Agencies are at work to bring about an
understanding on the silver question. 1t
is proposed to repeal the present silver
purchasing act and pass law which will
simply authorize the secretary of the
treasury, within given number of years
to purchase 3O0,O00,000 ounces of domes-
tic silver at current prices in such quanti-
ties and at such times as he may select
and to issue certificates upon the bullion.
It is claimed that this compromise will
meet the approval of President Cleveland.

SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Following the
regular proceedings of the senate yester-
day Mr.. Sherman delivered speech on
the Voorhees, bill. He said that if the
repeal of the purchasing clause is the
only reason for the extra session, it seemed
to him insufficient; that congress and the
people are agreed that both metals shall
be continued as money. The senator
talked of the Sherman bill and distinctly
announced that in his opinion it might
have been worse; that he is not III favor
of free silver, and regards free coinage as
bnt another name for monomotalism
with silver for the sole circulating me-
dlum.
Mr.. Sherman critized the president for
his opinions regarding the cause of the
decline in the value of silver. He said
that this is a currency famine, not because
the money was not good, but the policy
was bad. He does not believe that repeal
would relieve the country to any con-
siderable extent. Mr.. Sherman said that
the Democratic party is responsible for
the present financial distress.
At the close of Mr.. Sherman's remarks
Mr.. Stewart gave notice that he would ad-
dress the senate ON Tuesday.
Senator Voorhees, gave notice that he
would ask the senate to set aside for dis
cussion the pending house bill No. 1, the
Wilson repeal bill, as reported to the
senate.
Senator Teller then addressed the
senate on tho silver question.
THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The house yes
terday discussed the proposed code of
rules, without result. The session was
dull and uninteresting.
Mr.. Talcott asked unanimous consent
to introduce bill repeating the statutes
authorizing the appointment of marshals
and super, isors of election.
Mr.. Dingley objected.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, from
the committee on appropriations, re"
ported the deficiency appropriation bill,
which appropriates S5o0,000, and it was
passed.
The items are: 1875 600 for bank note
paper, 100000 for recoinage of subsi-
diary coins, and $4,000 for clerks Of
representatives.
