school No. 10. al Igleharts, has
the honor Of being the fourth school
TO be presented with q beautiful
American flag BY the p. O. S. Of A..
Of Annapolis. The order certainly
is doing all IN its power to instill pa
triotism in the hearts Of not only the
boys, but girls also.
The time arranged for the exer-
cises was 1880 ?. m, as that time
suited the members Of the order that
were so very kind IN presenting the
beautiful stars and stripes and as the
beautiful lines run Long may 1t
wave q 'er the land OF the free and
the horne Of the brave. : The tag
was presented &c the school by Mr..
y. T. Miller. and was received by
Mrs. Brice Worthington, for the
school.
The address was very short, hut
was enjoyed, as it was a heart to
heart talk with the children and their
elders, not like many speeches one
hears that the children do not under
stand, as there are many very young
children attending School No. 10.
Mr.. Miller said the gentleman that
was expected to give the presenta-
ton address had not arrived, and at
the last minute il fell to him and he
was glad to have the honor to pre-
sent another flag to school. He
also gave some good advice to the
children.
Just before the time for the closing
address Mr.. Daniel Sprogle asked to
be permitted to say few words and
he spoke of what sthe flag meant to
every true American and what good
the flag did He told very interest
ing story of a gentleman in Pekin,
China, seeing the Stars and Stripes
for ths first time in his long travels,
and how he wanted to hug the flag;
also when a man was to be shot in
Spain friend draped him with the
flag and although Spain was doing
many things against America, it could
not fire on the American flag.
Mr.. II. t. Brown acted as Santa
Claus and his little daughter present
ed each child with q box of candy.
In each box was a prize. The chill
dren, each and every one, did great
credit to their teacher, Mrs. Brice
Worthington. as they love her dearly.
and are ready and willing to do every
thing to please her.
The following is the program and
each and every one took their parts

beloved flags honor
