to Introduce 1t as far as possible within
the scope of a set program for every
day use, which is understood to be what
is required.
Ten-minute program for patriotic
exercises by school children:
Salute the flag, as it is raised on the
school grounds; or, salute a flag in the
school room when all are assembled
but before being seated.
H.
Morning prayer, to be repeated in
unison. The following may be alter
mated with the Lord IS Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank thee for the night
That brought US peaceful rest,
We thank thee for the pleasant light
With which our day is blessed
We thank thee for our native land,
The dearest in the world;
We thank thee for our starry flag,
For freedom s sake unfurled.
O, make us worthy, God, to be
The children of this land,
Give us the truth and purity
For which our colors stand;
May there be in US greater love
That by our lives we II show
We're children true of God above
And our country here below.
Patriotic song, as America" "Mk
Own Native Land "The Star
Spangled Banner ''The Red, White
and Blue, - Flag of the Free, - BAT
tie Hymn of the Republic" "Three
Little Sisters.''
Patriotic text for the week, repeated
in unison; for instance, 81 was sum-
moned by my country, whose voice
never hear but with veneration and
love. - George Washington.
It is the idea that on each Monday
morning new text be introduced in a
brief talk by the teacher, written on
the board, and during the week re-
peated by the pupils each day. In
cases where the quotation is from
Washington, Lincoln or some American
patriot, the picture of the author of the
text could be shown, and as much said
of his life and deeds as the time will
allow. In order to keep within the
time limit on Mondays the songs may
be curtailed to one verse, or, if there
is great deal that may DE proftably
said, omitted altogether.
The following are suggestions for
texts for the school year. If desirable
the order could be re-arranged, or at
any time other quotations substituted.

children, our kinsmen, our friends are

In peace there nothing so becomes a

As modest stiffness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our
ears.
Then initiate the action of a tiger.
Shakespeare.

not conquer America
VIM Pitt, Earl of Chatham
9. If 7 were an American. as I am
