PROVIDENCE.

A few years ago Washington Camp
No. IL, Patriotic Order of Sons OF
America, presented to school No. 70, a
handsome flag. For long time II
waved majestlcally over the building.
Situated on a hill ii could be seen ior
miles around, and the pupils pointed
with pride to this grand emblem OF
free America. However, when the new
school house was built, enthusiasm was
doomed to destruction. On the cupola
of the building, q pole was erected to
take the place of the one on which the
flag formerly hung. When the nag
was hoisted 1t was evident the pole was
too short, but the flag was allowed 10
remain and during severe storm was
torn to shreds by coming In contact
with the sharp corners of the cupoia.
Noting the regret with which the pupils
spoke of the loss. the camp determined
to furnish another flag. Accordingly
the officials of this particular camp
went to the school Saturday morning
and hoisted a flag similar In size and
quality to the first one. The flag hangs
from high pole erected, in the schooi
yard, for that purpose.
