A circular has been issued by Ralph
K. Prime and Theodore Fitch respec.
lively president and secretary Of the
American Flag association, making
the annual appeal Of this organization
in behalf OF the observance of Flag
Day." on Wednesday, June IA, 1911,
which will be the bath anniversary
of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the flag of the United
States.
Governors of various states and
mayors of cities have in The past or
dered the American flag displayed
upon building under their Jurisdiction
in recognition of this day, and school
officers and teachers have arranged
for patriotic exercises appropriate to
the occasion. Patriotic societies and
public spirited citizens have also en-
lcouraged the movement.
1t was on the 14th day OF June 1777
that Congress declared the American
flag to consist of thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white" with Union
of thirteen stars white in a blue field.
representing a new constellation.
With the admission of new states,
the number OF stripes was increased,
and on April 4, 1918, Congress enact
ed that the flag should consist of 10
horizontal stripes of red and white
and that the Union should consist of
20 stars with one more added upon
the admission of each new state, the
addition to take place upon the Fourth
OF July following the admission of the
state.
To observe the day in the schools,
II Is suggested that the pupils, stand
ing, at given hour in the morning,
give the regulation military salute
while the flag is being borne from the
door TO the principal or teacher, the
pupils repeating. meanwhile, the fol.
lowing: q pledge allegiance to my
flag, and to the Republic for which
1t stands; one nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for ALL" At the
words ito my flag" each one extends
the right hand, palm forward, toward
the flag until the pledge is finished,
when all hands drop to the side. The
pupils then sing America"
In the primary departments where
the children are very small, the follow
ing pledge is substituted: Il give my
head and my heart to God and my
country. One country, one language,
one flag" In some schools the sal
ute is given in silence, as an act of
reverence. AS the flag reaches it's
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 vertical position. At a second
signal, the hand drops to the side and
the pupils take their seats. The sill.
