MEMORIAL DAY.
1-Forty-seven years ago the beau
tiful custom Of strewing flowers on
the graves Of our fallen comrades was
first publicly observed, and each year
has witnessed a more and more gen
eral observance Of the day. It is a
day Of expression Of national tribu e
Of respect to its deathless dead. The
passing days will soon bring US once
more to the day devoted by the Grand
Army to sacred duties and hallowed
memories. For As consecutive years
the Grand Army Of the Republic has
observed this day by visiting the si-
lent camping ground where sleep
their comrades Mustered OUT and
placing upon the grassy mantle that
covers them the flowers of each re-
fulgent spring time, emblems Of i'm
mortality; the beautiful flowers signi-
flying tender memories Of cherished
comrades lying there. AS hallowed
memories carry us back to the days
Of camp and field and the activities of
young manhood, the pleasant and pa
thetic are tenderly intermingled. Let
US hope. as we engage in this sacred
duty and loving tribute, its orderly
performance may inspire a Spirit of
Patriotism in the hearts and minds Of
our young people. Let our beloved
banner, the Stars and Stripes, be ap-
propriately displayed and properly
placed to mark where our hero lies
buried"
lit is recommended that Presi-
dent Lincolns Gettysburg Address
and Gen. John A. Logan's proclama
ton establishing Memorial Day find
an appropriate place in the exercises
Of the day.

served as Memorial Sunday. 1t IS
hoped that each Post, accompanied by
its allied bodies, will arrange to at
tend divine service on that day.
IV-Friday, May 2sth, is designated
as School Day, and Post. Patriotic In
structors will cooperate with the
teachers of our schools in holding
such patriotic exercises as may be
deemed best.
V-F1ags throughout this depart
ment should be placed at half-staff on
the morning Of Memorial Day and SO
remain until IL NJ. when they shoul1
be hoisted to full staff for the re-
mainder of the day.
