close to it. While thus standing
with palm upward and in the attitude
of salute all the pupils repeat to-
gether slowly and distinctly the fol-
lowing pledge:
"I pledge allegiance to my flag
and to the Republic for which it
stands. One nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for ALL.
"At the words as pronounced in
this pledge, to my flag each one
extends the right hand gracefully,
palm upward, toward the flag until
the end of the pledge affirmation.
Then all hands drop to the side.
The pupils, still standing, all sing to-
gether in unison the song America
"In the primary departments,
where the children are very small,
they are taught to repeat this instead
of the pledge as given for the older
children:
Il give my head and my heart to

guage, one flag
I'm some schools the salute is
given in silence, as an act of rever-
ence, unaccompanied by any pledge.
At signal, as the flag reaches its
station, the right hand is raised, palm
downward, to horizontal position
against the forehead, and held there
until the flag is dipped and returned
to a vertical position. Then, at a
second signal, the hand is dropped
to the side and the pupil takes his
seat.
THE silent salute conforms very
closely to the military and naval sa-
lutte to the flag.
Principals may adopt the silent
! salute for a daily exercise and the
pledge salute for special occasions
such as Flag Day.

COLUMBUS.
(BY N. S. SHEFFIELD.)

While the years are swiftly passing
Passing never to return
They have left one priceless treasure
In proud Historys golden urn
Tis the gem of human triumph;
BLESSED Achievement! Grand Sublime,
And it keeps its brilliant luster
Through the centuries of time
Rich with beauty is the story:
How thou left thine own fair land.
Guided on to endless glory
BY Hopes own directing hand
How the glory of thy triumph
Arched the shore to shore,
Binding distant lands together
Firm and fast for evermore
Greed and lust and cruel ambition
Robbed thee of thy victory's fruit,
And with curse of human bondage
Did'st the new-found shores pollute
But from out that night of bondage
Broke sweet Freedoms sunlit morn
And the glory of thy triumph
Her bright banner doth adorn
In the dark and gloomy prison,
Though thy form in chains was bound,
And thy treasured wreath of laurel
Snatched from off the brow it crowned
Yet upon Times Rock of Ages
Carved is thine undying fame
And browning History's brightest pages
Is thine immortal name.

RULES
BADLY NEEDED
Visitors Greatly Abuse
Their Privileges.
LIQUORS ARE DRANK THERE
No Way Now to Check the
Nuisance.
The Service Board Stops Swimming
In Mckinley Lake But Something
q Further Is Needed--Council VIII
BE Asked to Take Hand.

A question has been, raised here
which bears much on the trouble of
the members of the board of public
service in Keeping order at the local
parks and which may cause much
difficulty here. The service board
has requested the city council to adopt
set of rules governing the city
parks and the question has arisen
IL the council may make rules over
territory outside of the city limits.
The members of the board of pub
lie service have been troubled of
late over the city parks and the action
of Tuesday evening in declaring that
there shall be no more swimming at
Mckinley lake was the first definite
move of the board toward preserv-
ing order and decency in the parks.
To arrange a set of rules for the city
parks, however, Is beyond the juris-
diction of public service board and
this matter lies with the city council.
Members OF the board of service de-
clare that conditions are appalling at
the city parks because of the lack OF
rules. Park Superintendent Addison
Balm, who Is now In Michigan, Will
return soon and on his arrival home
an effort will be made TO remedy
conditions in some manner, by ask
ing council to arrange and adopt a
set OF rules as speedily as possible
Mr. Balm has appeared before the
council and pleaded for a set of rules
but as yet nothing has been done. He
says that liquor Is being taken into
| O. ,.ly htF ha ha a n1 m 90
| can be done to check this because
J of the lack of rules. The roadwayg
and paths are destroyed by heavy
| hauling and no one can check them.
The property in every instance Is
destroyed and there Is not rule laid
down to prevent this. Depredatlons
and unseemly conduct goes on free
quently and nothing can be done.
Mr.. Balm declares that the people OF
the city fear to go to the parks be-
I cause of the pranks of persons, who
| abuse their priviledges.
Some time ago the need Of rules
| was felt and the board at that time
requested the council to arrange rules.
| Because of the expense in advertls-
ing the matter the proposition was
dropped as no money was at hand to
pay the bill.
That the service board means bus
mess Is indicated by the rule laid
down Tuesday evening but just how
| further rules may be made Is puZZling
the members to the point of worry.
| Some time has already elasped since
the request that the rules be made
by council, was presented and nothing
has been done and a question Is be-
ing put as to whether the council
may or may not in the end arrange
rules themselves. 1t is generally held
however, locally that the council may
make rules governing the property
of the city despite the fact that II
Is without the corporation limits and
without the customary jurisdiction OF
councilmen.
The matter will probably rest un-
til the arrival of Superintendent Adj
olson Balm and some definite ac-
tion will be taken at that time.
