FLAG DAY EXERCISES.
The Public Schools Capture the Town.
The Armory Crowded to witness
the Exercises.

Yesterday the city was turned over to
the students of our public schools.
Long before the hour for the exercises
to begin people were vending their way
to the armory, and by the time the
children were in their seats the large
building was taxed to its utmost capa-
city. Many seats had been provided,
but as it was, a great number ofspeople
were compelled to stand. The stage
was beautifully decorated with Ameri-
can flags, while upon the platform were
seated the members of the Relief Corps,
with the president of the state corps,
Mrs. Myers, and DIR. Cue, who had been
invited to deliver an address. The au-
dience was in high anticipation of an
interesting afternoon, and when Prof.
Gavin announced the first number upon
the program there was quiet in every
part of the building.
The exercises opened with the song
'tOur Flag and Union Forever" Miss
Ethel Deming sang the solo, assisted
in the chorus by the high school quar-
tette. Walter Reayis recited ''The
American Flag in a manner that
brought rounds of applause from the
audience. In expression of feeling, in
voice, gesture and pronunciation the
young gentleman was we'll nigh perfect,
and brought upon himself the Warmest
commendation from his bearers. A song,
patriotic Glee'' by four small girls and
a recitation giving the history of the flag
were pleasing numbers upon the pro-
gram. The singing by tbirty-five prim-
airy pupils of the ''Red, White and Blue
4 stirred the deep impulses of the audience
To hear the little tots singing the grand
old anthem and see each one waving the
stars and stripes was enough to stir the
blood of the most lethargic. To the OLD
soldiers present the song had especia,
Significance. The recitation, "Devotior
to the Flag" by six boys and "the
Flag Drill'' by twenty-four boys anC
"The Flag of Our Ancestors, pleased the
audience immensely. The pleasant tasl
fell upon Mrs. Mary Scott Myers, state
president of the w. r. c., of presenting
in behalf of the corps, the flags to the
school. Mrs. Myers address of presen
, tation was exceedingly felicitous in ex.
: preston and delivered with fine effect
: Prof. Gavin received the flags on behal
} of the schools in well expressed speech
of thanks. When Prof. Gavin had con
J cluded, DIR. Cue, of Portland, was intro
duced and was compelled to remai1
, silent for some time till the applaus
had subsidized. DIR. Cue spoke only 6
} short time but although brief his address
r was eloquent. He told of how the fla,
was being honored today and hoy
