FLAGS FOR
CITY SCHOOLS
P. 0. S. Of A. Now Makes
Offer to the InStitu-
tiOnS
KILL SHARE EXPENSE
WlTd TIE J2. 0. U. A. M.

In the future the expense OF furnish
ing flags to the public schools, which
in The past has been borne entirely by
the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics. may -be borne by two or
eanization-. the one just mentioned and
the Patriotic Order Sons OF America.
The Board OF Education at It's meeting
last night unanimously adopted a mo-
tion requesting the dag committees Of
the two organizations to meet together
and adopt plan whereby each organi-
zation may share the responsibility and
expense OF furnishing the flags.
There was some discussion upon tine
subject before the motion was adopted.
II. C. johnson, chairman OF the flag
committee Of The p. O. s. OF A'appeared
with another member Of that orgoniza
iiou requesting that they be allowed TO
give flags to the school the same as the
Jr. o. u. A. M. have been doing.
For some years the Jr o. u. a. VI.
has been supplying flags to the Board
of Education at the rate OF Two q
month. and it was the contention OF
some of tie members that this organi-
zation might be offended should the
privilege be extended to another or
ganization. Il was contcndod that the
Jr. o. u A. N. had for a long time
been supplying the flags when no ono
else had volunteered to do 80, anu
they had always been prompt and
faithful IN fulfilling their oblirau n
by furnishing the flags whenever re
ouested, and that TO take the priVi-
lege partially away from them ana
extend it to another organization
might hurt the feelings of the Me-
chanics.
After some discussion upon the
subject It was decided that the board
should take no hand in the matter but
that they request that the Tag conf
mittee of each organization get to-
gether and agree TO divide the eN-
pense of furnishing the flags. As
very friendly feeling exists between
the two organizations, It was & orght
that this would be the only solution
OF the plan. One member OF the board
created a laugh when he remarked
"that IL was such rare occasion for
the board to get something for noth-
ing that the offer of the p. o. 5. OF
A. should not be rejected" He argued
however. that the organ cations
should get together on the matter.
