Of the papers. all of which had been
prepared by teachers Of the Territory,
were excellent After the most care.
ful consideration of them the prize was
awarded TO Miss Emma G.. Lyons Of
Honolulu. There were many excellent
suggestions in other programs, not con.
tanned in this one, which will undoubt-
edly be used by the Department in ar
ranging the final program. which will
be sent to all the schools for adoption.
The following program, by Miss Lyons,
in the Judgment Of the committee, con
tains the largest number of practical
suggestions, and on this basis she re-
ceived the award. All the papers re.
ceived in competition are on file in the
Office of the Department of Public In-
struction and are open TO inspections:
MISS LYONS PROGRAM.
In preparing the attached program
the writer has borne in mind the fact
that almost any ceremony by constant
repetition becomes meaningless ana un-
interesting to children.
Variety is more likely to arouse in
terest. II has, therefore, been my aim
to introduce it as far as possible within
the scope of a set program for every
day use, which is understood to be what
is required.
Tenminute program for patriotic
exercises by school children:
!.
Salute the flag, as it is raised on the
school grounds; or, salute flag in the
school room when all are assembled,
but before being seated.
ii.
Morning prayer, to be repeated in
unison. The following may be alter
mated with the Lord S 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 mus greater love
That by our lives we II show
We re children true of God above
And our country here below.
III.
Patriotic song, as "America," " "My
: Own Native Land" "The Star
Spangled Banner" "The Red, White
and Blue, " :" Flag of the Free, 4" 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
1t is the idea that on each Monday
morning a new text be introduced in q
brief talk by the teacher, written OF
the board, and during the week re
peated by the pupils each day. II
cases where the quotation is from
Washington, Lincoln or some American
: patriot, the picture of the author of thu
text could be shown, and as much sale
of his life and deeds as the time viii
e allow. In order to keep within thu
time limit on Mondays the songs may
be curtailed to one verse, or, if there
is a great deal that may De profitably
said, omitted altogether.
The following are suggestions fol
q texts for the school year If desirable
t the order could be re.arranged, or a
e any time other quotations substituted
