FLAG OVER SCHOOL HOUSE.
Flag Raising in Prosper Township
the Occasion for Quite CeIe-
bratlon Saturday.

1t has been the ambition of the
teacher and pupils Of the Tyler
school in Prosper township to have
the American flag suspended from
flag pole and for some time they
have been working with that end in
view. Their hopes were consum-
mated Saturday afternoon when Old
Glory was unfurled to the breeze.
The pole was erected a few days
ago to be ready for the dedication
exercises and the affair had been adj
vertised far and near, so that there
was a very large crowd of people as
.sembled at the school in the after
noon. Six full schools with their
teachers in that neighborhood were
present and witnessed the exercises.
The weather coud not have been bet
ter at this time of the year, which
enabled the program to be given out
of doors. =.
The presentation speech was made
by S. O.. Oathout, teacher of the
school and the flag was accepted in.

The program consisted Of patriotic
reel itations and songs and it was very
interesting. d
At the close Of the program Super
|intendent Coursey delivered the ad-
dress Of the afternoon. Henry Hem
Erickson made some brief remarks
on the nature Of the occasion and he
was followed by f. G. Hoffman who
represented the school board.
Since Mr.. Coursey has been superin-
tendent of the county schools he has
endeavored to get all the schools to
erect flag poles on the building or
adjacent to it, and in a great many
cases he has been successful. 1t is
a splendid way in which to incul-
cate in the hearts and minds Of the
children a agrowing reverence for the
symbol Of Americas freedom. The
patrons and scholars of the Tyler
school are entitled to much credit
for bringing about this matter so
successfully and for the noble spirit
that prompted the erecting of the
flag pole and purchase Of the flag.
