New Haven Register (Dem.): We can.
not speak professionally Of the distress
which has overtaken our army in the
campaign against Spain, from the point
OF view that after all much that has oO-
Cured was unavoidable. We cannot
however, resist the belief that that Is
the fact. Each encampment has been
freshly established community, with
nearly every demand that a regularly
organized community has. The need
for water, fresh air food, lodging, raj.
ment, ETC., has been exactly the same
with fewer facilities to meet II.
1t would be Interesting as well aS In
structive to the country at large II some
person with a fondness for statistics
should compare the records OF the first
four months OF the civil war with those
Of the war with Spain and then compare
the sickness and distress In each camp
with the sickness and distress in each
community OF similar size and conEes-
tlon. In other words, any inquiry that
is established will probably disclose the
fact that much OF the suffering was In:
evltable, and that what has occurred
has been exaggerated. Had the war
been prolonged four months longer, We
should have heard much less to hoTity
us. and In the meantime the army Itself
would have been seasoned and 1T to
cope with even greater privations.
In fact, our army Is just now getting
into war shape. The weak are being
weeded out and the strong are become
hardened. In another month we shall
have splendid and superior force. We
repeat that short, sharp and decisive
campaigns, under existing conditions
are painfully dIsadvantaleous, bu'
should be prepared for II possible.

FLAG DAY EXERCISES
Held at the Nash and the Smith Schools
tuesday.

Flag day was observed ut the Nash and
the Smith schools Tuesday. with exer-
cises that were very appropriate and en-
joyablc.
The exercises began at 1920 in the morn
ing, at the Nash school. when Grades |
and II held their exercises in the rooms
downstairs. AT IL O'CLOCK, the exercises
We're held in the rooms upstairs, and
Grades III. ~, Y and VI participated.
The flag was raised at 1I.3o. when the
exercises were adjourned to the yard. The
raising was done by number of the girls.
During the ceremony The Star Spanglcd
Banner" was sung. Captain Charles Nash
made few brief remarks that We're APP
preciated by the children. Many visitors
We're in attendance. The programme car
ried out was practically the same as that
given in the Journal, Tuesday morning.
The exercises at the Smith school were
held in the afternoon in the hall, and the
place was filled with visitors. All the
grades took part. being assisted by the
Laurel Hill and the Grove Street schools.
Every scholar carried a flag. and they
seemed to sing the patriotic songs with
peculiar interest and enthusiasm. Tent
ing on the Old Camp Ground" which is
a song that is sung very much means
much to the scholars. one Of the most
attractive parts of the programme was
the singing Of The Battlcship Maine"
The closing ceremonies were held out
of doors.
Among the features of the exercises
were also the essay by Harlow Davis of
Grade IN, on Memorial and Flag Day,
Its Observance and Significance" 1t
would have been a credit to a student far
advanced in school. The story "One Me
mortal Day" by Olive Lee was touch
ing one, and was worthy of n more eX-
nnrinncel effort.
