again appeal to school boards and I
teachers to do your duty in comply
ing with the law. If any school is not
supplied with suitable flag, the
teacher will notify the school board
at once, requesting them to purchase
one. The law provides that the flag
be displayed on flag staff at each
school, on every school day that the
weat her is seasonable. i! good citi-
Zens will not hesitate in reporting
violations of this law. Indifference OF
officials and teachers in this matter at
this time is ineXcusable and should be
regarded as nothing short OF criminal
negligence. 49, Forest County Educa-
tional News Bulletin
There are still four school buildings
in Iron county where the flag is not
displayed owing to the neglect of the
school board to furnish suitable stats
and ropes. In each of these buildings
the teacher has draped the flag in the
room and is doing her part but this
does not fulfill the requirements of
the law In most eases new flag pole
is needed and we urge the school
board members to take immediate
steps to secure one. Such duty, at
this time, should not be neglected.
