than one dozen men since those days,
reveal the fact that Logan Post was
the first organization in the District to
hold flag-raising exercises at a public
school building, such a. ceremony taking
place at the Van Buren, building, In
Anacostia, with military display. In
1891. Since then the flag has foated
regularly from every schoohouse In the
District.
In the same year Logan Post began
assigning members to the public schools

the recognition of Flag Day five years
