Because Of the laxity on the part Of
some Of the Sussex school districts in.
complying with the request of the Jr.
O. U. A. N. in displaying the stars and
stripes from the school building when the
flags are presented to them BY that or
gsniaation, ths Sussex County School
Commission has sent notices TO the diff.
ferent schools to the effect that the Amer
ican Gag must fly from the school grounds

priation made by the state. For years it
has been the custom Of the Junior Me.

have never been hoisted from tlIe school
buildings. A failure to do this on the.
part of the teachers has led to the issuing
of the notices.
