FIRST FLAG OVER SCHOOL
Honor Is Claimed for CoIrain, Mass,
Where National Banner Was
Raised in May, 1912.

Today the United States flag flies
over millions of schoolhouses, in every
city, town and hamlet, throughout the
United States, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines. On every day Of patri-
otto observance exercises are held at
which the flag is saluted and the pupils
standing give military salute and in
chorus slowly and distinctly repeat:
II pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the republic for which it stands, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL"
The distinction of antedating all
other schoolhouses in raising the flag
belongs to little log schOolhouse on
Catamount hill, Colrain, Mass, in May,
1872. The second war with Great Bri-
tain was threatening at that time, and
the people of the community raised the
flag in an outDurst or patriotism and
loyalty to the United States govern
ment. The man who felled the tree to
make the flagpole and three members
of the committee in charge of the
hosting Of the flag were short time
later marching away to the war.
After careful investigation of the
claim of this school being the first to
raise the Stars and Stripes, there was
set up, in May, 1908 on the place where
the old log schoolhouse had stood,
neat stone tablet on which was carved:
The First United States Flag
raised over public school was
hoated in May, 1872, from log
schoolhouse which stood on this
place.
Less than a month after the flag on
Fort Sumter had been fired upon a flag
was raised over the Fifth street gram
mar school at New Bedford, Mass, May
IL, 1861. This was eight months after
the dedication Of the school building.
One of the earliest instances known
of a flag being raised over school
building or grounds was over Wash
ington school, Chicago, three days
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon.
The principal, Benjamin T. Cutter,
bought the bunting and four of his
teachers made the flag. One of these
women was a native Of Maine, one
from Massachusetts, another was born
in New York state, and the fourth,
Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones Of Yer
mont, was afterward a past national
president of the Woman's Relief corps.

I'm going to Africa with one of nv
cousins. She is a medical missionary.
Perhaps l can work things out there.
If l caused death, l did not mean to-
You will think that no excuse, but it Is
true. In the hospital, when l changed the
bottles on Miss Pages medicine tray, I
did not care much what happened. But II
was different with you.
You dismissed me, you remember had
peen careless about a sponge count
made up my mind to get back at you.
You remember the packets of gauze
sponges we made and used in the operat-
ing room? There We're twelve to each
package. When we counted them as we
got them out, we counted by packages
On the night before l left, I went to the
operating room and added one sponge
every here and there. Out of every dozen
packets, perhaps, 1 fixed one that had
thirteen. The next day 1 went away.
Then l was terrified I was so fright
ened that l went down sick over it. When
l got better, heard you had lost a case
and the cause was being whispered about,
l almost died of terror Then I left the
city. I couldn't stand It, I was afraid
to read a newspaper
l am not going to sign this letter. You
know who it is from. And am not going
TO ask your forgiveness, or anything of
that sort. I don't expect it. But one
thing hurts me more than anything else
the other night. You said you'd lost your
faith in yourself. This is to tell you that
You need not. And you said something
else-that anyone can come back"
wonder!
K. stood in the hall of the little house
with the letter in his hand. Just be-
yond on the doorstep was Sidney, wait
ing for him. His arms were still warm
from the touch Of her. Beyond lay the
Street, and beyond that lay the world
and mans work to do. Work, and
faith to do it, good womans hand In
the dark, Providence that made
things right in the end.
"Are you coming, X. p
Coming" he said. And, when he
was beside her. his long figure folded
to the short measure of the step, he
stopped humbly and kissed the hem of
her soft white dress.

We must revive the old-faShiOned
herb garden Of our grandmothers if
we are to realize the true zest of we'll
preserved herbs. She realized that
her meats, soups, as we'll as cakes,
doughnuts and crullers, lacked charm
without the well-chosen herbs or spices.
She did not know that when she used
a bit of parsley to garnish her platter
Of cold meat she was contributing to
the health Of her family as well as
their artistic sense. Parsley acts upon
the kidneys, assisting in the elimina-
ton of waste.
Some of the most inexpensive sea-
sonings that may be grown in the
kitchen garden, and will prove a de-
light to see growing as well as to
use in winter to Increase the pala-
liability of various dishes, are the fol-
lowing: Parsley, mint, dill. tarragon,
sage, thyme, marjoram, chervil, horse
rndish, mustard, celery celery tips
dried), caraway seed, and mushrooms,
dried. To these we add curry, mace,
nutmeg, cloves, mixed pickle spices
and bay leaves.
Mint is used with lamb in different
salads and as an addition to a re-
freshing drink.
Sage as a seasoning in stuffings
for pork roasts or poultry or ham,
Added to cornmeal mush for frying or
as a seasoning for string beans.
Thyme and marjoram, with fowl
SQUAD or fish and in dressing for
meats and with boiled beans.
Chervil as a garnish for salads and
meats, green mustard sprinkled over
lettuce or any salad, horSeradish as
relish for meat and a seasoning for
pickles as well as sauce for fish. Curry
adds zest to various meat dishes or
served with rice or cabbage, cauliflow-
er, carrots or onions.

MUTTON Is EXCELLENT MEAT
Lambs Are Not Difficult to Raise
Where Farmer Is Prepared and
Understands Animals.

Lambs should be raised cheaply
where enc is at all prepared and where
he understands the animals. Mutton
is excellent meat and there are no
good reasons why it should not be more
popular. A few fat lambs during the
year might be the means of taking in
cash that could be used to good adj
vantage by the manager.

Session in San Francisco for
Pacific Division Will Con-
tinue Until December 10

Il The Institute of Home Service,
| which was called to meet in San Fran
cisco Nov. 5, to continue In session
until Dec. Is, affords an opportunity
for all Red Cross chapters in the Pa
cific division to secure trained work
ers for their home service sections.
Home service funds may be used by
a chapter to defray the expenses OF
some one selected by the chapter as
being specially qualified to take up
this line of work. 1t is the desire Of
the Bureau of Civilian Relief to have
as much as possible of the home serV-
ice work done by Volunteers ri.
For the benefit of those who may
not fully appreciate the intent of this
home service work, perhaps not fully,
understanding its purpose, the follow
ing explanation, taken from one of
| the Red Cross bulletins, is made:
The Ideals <.'...
ITO state it briefly, the ideal Of
home service is to keep the soldiers
family in a state of health and eff
cheney during his absence, as his just
| due, and on his return to restore his
family to him without deterioration.
"a million and half families are
beginning to feel the disorganizing eff
feet of war. A large percentage of
these have suddenly had their incomes
cut to a figure that requires at least
new family plans, and at the same
time the head of the family is pre-
vented from giving counsel in such
plans.
In spite of the precautions of re.
cruiting officers and exemption
boards and in spite of governmental
provisions for insurance, compensa-
ton and allowances, many thousands
of families will suffer privation for
lack of money. Many other thou
sands will suffer for lacks not Of
money, but of friendly comforting and
wise guidance in their affairs, unless
the Red Cross. supplements the gov.
ernment's efforts./ .~s
IF the rising price of necessaries
and heavy taxation make it hard for
many families not touched directly
by the war to make their incomes sup
ply their needs, certainly those whom
war robs both OF income and Of the
head of the family face a much greater
degree of hardship. = .. II
1.-The experience Of Canada with her
government allowances to families is
instructive. To supplement govern
ment aid the Canadian Patriotic Fund
is now spending about million dol
lars a month. Yet the Canadian forces
are only one-third Of the number al.
ready in service in the United States.
No Simple Task
ITO perform the highest service to
these disorganized families is not
simple matter of asking them few
questions and paying them sums OF
money. Accident, sickness, death,
birth, old age, fire, theft, drunkenness,
immortality, feeblemindedness, way.
wardness, divorce, family quarrels,
greed, extravaganza, pride, diffidence,
are some of the elements that compli.
cate family affairs and demand skill
on the part of the Home Service
worker.

and later released to an angry mob
by the arresting officers Mrs. Sadler

the advice of the federal authorizes
before seeking her further
