HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINs.
May Musicale and Lawn Fete Given
at the Western

The May musicale at the Western High
School, given last evening, proved to be
successful in every point of view. AS one
result the treasury of the athletic associa-
ton will receive goodly sum, the proceeds
of the sale of the ice cream and candy
which was served by the pupils on the fine
lawn about the school building.
Before the lawn fete got under full swing
however, a concert was gwen in the assem-
bly, hall of the school. The opening numbers,
which were under the direction of Miss
Bentley, musical director of the schools,
were choruses of both male and female
voices separately, and also mixed chorus,
all given with vigor and at the same time
an expression that showed excellent train
ing and interest in what was being DONE
The hall was crowded with pupils of the
school and their parents, and they proved
to be an appreciative and enthusiastic audi
ence, giving a generous share of applause to
Miss katherine Faethe of Baltimore who
sang series of German songs.

An address to the American people on the
Birth Of the Flag has been received by
Rev. j. II. Bradford, patriotic instructor of
the Department Of the Potomac, G. A. R.,
from Warren Lee Goss, national patriotic
instructor. of the organization. 1t states
that Friday. June IA, will be the one hum
dred and thirteenth anniversary of the birth
of the flag of the United States. The flag
was designed for a nation Of thirteen col
onies, stretched like a belt along the At
lantic coast made up of less than three
tons or language; drawn together only by
common danger from savages within, and
oppression from without, which threatened
their existence and liberties. That flag now

Atlantic to beyond the Pacific sea- and in
habited by nearly ninety millions of people,
who speak a common language.
Our flag Is nOW-in form-the Oldest flag

gress for the adoption of the Stars and

Such is the origin Of a flag dedicated to
the proposition that all men are created
free and equal Let US honor the natal day
of our national f1ag-displaying it from our
public buildings, schools and ,1-.es in
recognition of this memorable day.
The men Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, who preserved the nation in the
greatest war of modern times and made
vital the declaration Of our fathers, call
upon all who live under the flag to recog-
nize this day by patriotic observances in
schools and-on the Sunday precedng-in
churches. To this end we suggest that the
governor Of every state by proclamation
announce the day and promote its recogni-
ton; that the press scatter this call-as
seeds Of Observation-Disclosures over the
land. Such recognition will nourish the
greatness of our nation, inculcate noble
the principles of civil liberty,
and be an object lesson to the new genera
