less Voices.
CELEBRATION OF FLAG DAY
Programs Prepared for the Vari-
Gus Public Schools.
INTERESTING EXERCISE

Every day since the Maine was blown
UP in Havana harbor has been flag day in
the United States. With the announcement
of that horrible disaster simultaneously
was inspired in every American heart the
certainty that il was the result of Spanish
iniquity and instantly the old flag came out
in a thousand ways. When the war that
was to Danish forever from the western
hemisphere every trace of the horrible
policy that made the murders on the Maine
possible was declared the flags flew in
thousands of ways more and from bosoms
of men and women alike, yes even from
the hands of the babies in their nurses
arms. have since fluttered the exquisite
stars and stripes of freedom.
Tomorrow Is flag day distinctively, the
anniversary which would have brought
home to all who love the flag the full mean
ing OF the starry banner, even If it's folds
were not waving above the smoke of battle
and cheering the courageous champions OF
Its principles to victory. Tomorrow, there
fore, will be celebrated and observed with
more general interest and devotion than
ever before, and it will be a poor lapel
Indeed ard a queer heart under 1t that
does not wear and beat for the flag.
In the public schools the day will be OBJ
