CALLS FOR FLAG
DAY OBSERVANCE
Circulars to Schools Are
Issued by the State
Superintendent.
June IA an Occasion for
Inculcating Pa
triotiSm.

Thomas ]. Kirk, State Superintendent
Of Public Instruction, urges the observ-
ance of Flag day on June IA by the pub
lie schools. and has issued the follow
ing circular:
To the Teachers and Public School
Authorities of California-The Amer
loan Flag Association, in accordance
with its custom of the past nine years.
reminds us that Thursday, June IA,
1906. will be the 12sth anniversary OF
the adoption of the Stars and Stripes
as the flag of the United States.
During recent years Flag day has
come 10 be recognized more and more
as a national anniversary. The asso-
citation earnestly requests the. coop
GRAFTON of the citizens OF California,
and especially of all who are engaged
in the work of education here, in Sc
curing this year the widest posslble
observance of the day, School off1clals
and teachers are requested to arrange
for such patriotic exercises as shall ap-
propriate celebrate the day.
Flag day as well as the legal holi-
days named in our statutes, presents an
natriotism. Section 1902 of the Po-
litical Code makes X the duty of all
teachers to endeavor to impress upon
the minds of their pupils the principles
Of morality, truth, justice and patriot
ism to instruct them in the
principles of free government, and TO
train them up TO a true comprehension
of the rights. duties and dignity OF
Anertcan cifizenship No occasions
are better adapted for such instruction
than the days especially set apart TO
commemorate historical events, The
history of our countrys flag and the
principles for which it stands as the
symbol should be known to every youth
in the land.
An event of the present year serves
well TO illustrate what great privilege
il is to live under the protecting folds
of the American fas. The suHerings
brought suddenly upon thousands or
homes in cur State by the disaster of
April last severe as they We're. would
have been greatly intensified hut for
the generous assistance given to the
afflicted cities by the National Govern
ment- A single star in the bright clus-
ter that adorns the national emblem
was only for a day IN partial eclipse.
The light of a warm sympathy, reflect
ed from the national heart. quickly dis
PEELED the gloom. Wherever over the
I stricken city of San Francisco could be
seen floating the flag, the people knew
that succor was near and that famine
should not follow in the wake of de-
struction.
History is repIete with incidents that
teach loyalty and devotion TO the flag.
Since it is the primary purpose of the
public schools to train youth to become
good. loyal citizens, such historical in
cidents should be dwelt upon and Flag
day fittingly observed each year.
1t is therefore recommended that the
schools of the State. wherever possible
on June IA hold such exercises as will
make impressive the patriotic lesson
that the day is intended to teach
In loyalty TO the fag / am very y, truly
yours, THOMAS j. KIRK,
superintendent of Public instruction.

How Johnny Saw Them Go
A Story of the Days of 1878

the big corporall" he added, and be-
fore Toby could detain him he had
cleared the doorway and was bound
ing toward the marching rank.
"Heigho! Going, are your" cried
Johnny, reaching the side Of a very
tall soldier who marched on the out
side of the rank and next to the pave
ment.
He took the hand of the grenadier
as he spoke, and the next moment the
tall red coat recognized him.
"Here we are again!" laughed Cor
poral Benson, his hand tightening on
Johnny's. "You ferreted out the Sc
cret, did you? Well, we are going
away"
ITO come back some timer" queried
Johnny, who was walking alongside
the soldier, still holding his hand.
81 don't know. I'm afraid some Of
us will never get back" was the re.
ply, with a sigh at the end of it, as
If the speaker felt that a battle was
sure to follow the evacuation. BE
good boy, Master Johnny. You've
udue me luiuh many IAulS VI my
little chaps in England. God bless
you, If you are a little REBEL"
"Good-by, Corporal Benson!" cried
the patriot boy. Remember Johnny
Phillips to your little ones at home
when you get back, for l hope you'll
go back safe, If you are one Of King
Georges men,"
81 almost wish hadn't watched
them" said Johnny on his way home.
81 sent Corporal Benson away with a
sad heart; but hope the bullets will
spare him-that l do! will have
something for my diary now-some-
thing out of the usual entry. Good
night, Toby. When we are old men,
we can tell how we saw the kings
men steal out of Philadelphia"
That night Johnny had to describe,
for Prudence and her mother, the
evacuation Of the city, as he and Toby
had seen it, and before he retired he
wrote, among other things in his
diary, the following:
"June 17.-This night ye British
went away. Toby and watched them
from a doorstep, and ! shook hands
with Corporal Benson, and wished
him we'll. Tomorrow there will be
Mexico Missouri message., 1906-06-28

Near the close of what had been a
delightful June day, in the memorable
year Of ITS, two children were seated
at an upper window of two-story
frame house on a quiet street in Phil
adelphia. They were brother and sis
ter, Johnny and Prudence Phillips,
children of Capt Phillips, then with
Gen. Washington at Valley Forge, and
the topic Of their conversation was the
all-prevailing one of the war.
81 met the big grenadier again to-
day" suddenly exclaimed the boy.
''He was taking a stroll along the river
front, and did not have his musket.
When he saw me he cried: Here we
are again, boys!' and then l had long
talk with him about. many things"
"Of course he told you when the
troops are goiag away" smiled Pru-
dence. II have no doubt you asked
him"
"Of course 1 asked him! There is
no harm in that, I'm sure. He told
me that he did not know anything
about the rumored evacuation-that
would have to ask Gen. Howe; and
from the way he smiled as he said
this, knew he thought his general
would tell the son of Capt Phillips
nothing. But Toby has promised to
find out for us, you know; but, really,
/ can't see how he is to obtain the
secret"
81 have not much confidence in
Master Walters" said Prudence, sober
ly His father is Tory, know, and
mends coats for the British officers,
but do you think they would impart a
secret like theirs to a simple tailor?"
IL half believe Corporal Benson
would have told me to-day, If he had
known" replied the patriot boy. 81
saw them enter, you know, and l am
going to see them go, too"
1t was just after shutdown when
Master Walters came to the home of
the Phillips children and called John
ny out.
The face of the Tory boy showed he
had something important to communi-
cate, but what he said almost took
Johnny's breath.
"They are going this very night, .
said Master Toby, in a whisper.
What! the British?"
Mexico Missouri message., 1906-06-28

"Gen. Howe and his men,"
Johnny agreed to keep the secret
Master Walters had impaired, and
when night came he met the taIlor's
son at certain corner and the two
boys went to quiet street which they
had reasons for thinking the British
troops would take. for 1t would lead
them to a ferry below the city.
The hours dragged slowly to the
boys. The clock in a nearby steeple
struck ten, then II and finally u. 1t
was midnight, and the British had not
come.
"Are you getting sleepy, Johnny?"
asked Toby.
SLEEPY, and watching for the Brit
fish to get out of old Philadelphia"
replied the patriot boy. what can
you be thinking about, Toby? I'm as
bright as a lark and-But what was
that?"
Il heard it, too" said Toby, lean-
ing out OF the doorway. Here they
come at last Listenl Don't you hear
the measured tread OF great many
feetq'
AYE, that I do"
After awhile Johnny suddenly
clapped his hands
"Here are Col Moncllton and his bis
Fellows, be cried asa company 81
tall soldiers doomed up before them,
Nov / shall look for Corporal Benz

great rejoicing among our people, and
We city viii put on new airs"
The next day Philadelphia awoke to
discover that she was no longer a
British city by occupation. The kings
troops had vanished during the night,
and few could tell how or when they
went That very day some of Wash
ington's light troops rode into the city,
and soon afterward the battle Of Mon
mouth was fought and the British So
yerely punished.
The year after the war there came
to philadelphia, by mail. a letter ad-
dressed to Master Johnny Phillips.
and when the patriot boy opened It,
he found several locks Of pretty hair,
woven in the form Of heart.
The heart was double-leaf one,
and when Johnny opened It he read,
in the handwriting Of a child:
@From the children OF Corporal
Benson, Of ye Royal grenadierB, to
Master Phillips, who reminded their
father SO often Of his little ones Al
home Father sends his love"
johnny often told how he saw the
British eyacnate Philadelphia. anc
many years aiterward an old mar
showed with pride TO his grandchil
dren heart Of hair woven upon pa
per, and on the inside the love Of th,
old grenadier and the little onea.
