FIRST FLAG OVER SCHOOL
Honor Is Claimed for colrain, 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-
otic 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 1t stands, one
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL"
The distinction Of antedating all
other schoolhouses in raising the flag
belongs to a little log schoolhouse on
Catamount hill, Colrain, Mass, In May
1872. The second war with Great Bri-
tain was threatening ut that time. and
the people of the community raised the
flag in an outburst Of 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
hoistlng 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, a
neat stone tablet on which was carved
The First United States Flag
raised over a public school was
hoated In May, 1872, from log
schoolhouse which stood on this
place.
Less than n month after the flag IN
Fort Sumter had been fired upon flag
was raised over the Fifth street gram
mar school ut New Bedford, Mass, May
II, 1861. This was eight months after
the dedication of the school building.
One of the earliest Instances known
of n 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 It. Cutter,
bought the bunting and four of his
teachers made the flag. One of these
women was native of Maine, one
from Massachusetts, another was born
in New York state, and the fourOh.
Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones of ver-
mont, was afterward past national
president of the Woman's Relief CORDS
This flag has been an inspiration to
the pupils Of that school for more than
a half century, being unfurled e~efy
school day.
