YOUTH OF DISTRICT
TO HONOR The FLAG
Wave of Patriotism Sweeping
Nation Floods Washington
Public Schools.

The wave of patriotism sweeping
the nation today flooded the public
schools OF the District.
Superintendent OF Schools Thurstoif
sent to school heads throughout the
city new instructions for honoring
the flag, which are to- be put into ef
feet at once by the $4,000 children at
tending District schools.
Mr.. Thurston's instructions mark
the second wave of school officials to
recognize officially the spirit of pa
trtotism that has been enlivened BY
the crisis. Recently the Board OF
education officially sanctioned a sug-
gestion made by The Times that pa
triotic songs be sung daily In all pub
lie schools.
instructions on 'the great national
crisis through which we are now
passing" His program calls for a
daily salute OF the flag, study Or its
history. and employment of school
pupils In spreading the movement for
display OF the Stars and Stripes on all
buildings.
To Express Patriotism.
Mr.. Thurston lays down rules for
proper conduct when the national an.
them is being played >or sung. The
instructions follow:
in view. OF the great national crI.
'is through which we are now pass
ing and In view OF the opportunity
Aforded by the state of our national.
affairs. II seems to me very advisable
that In quiet and dignified ways we
shall give our pupils opportunity
to express the feeling OF patriotism
which ] am sure they all have, ]
suggest at this time the following
three things:
THAT the salute to the flag be
given by all public school children
each day. This may be- done In gen
eral assembly or in the individual
class rooms. In this connection Il is
well to teach the history Of the flag
and what the flag symbolizes.
That the matter OF the flying OF
American flags from private homes
be placed before the pupils OF the
public schools and that they be ask
ed to arouse interest In this move
ment In their own homes. Large or
ganizAtions OF citizens have already
put themselves on record as favoring
the flying OF flags from the homes
beginning Monday, April .. 1877.
This seems to me movement in
which the schools may properly
join.
Proper Respect To BE shown.
Il believe that all pupils OF the
public schools should be made to
clearly the proper re
spect to b. shown when the national
anthem, The StGr-Spangled Banner
ls played in any assembly where
they are present, inside or outside OF
school.
"One who notices this matter in
general meetings throughout the city
will see that while people stand, they
do not always keep silence during
the playing OF the national air.
THE children in the public schools
should be trained to stand instantly
At the first notes OF The Star
SpanRled Banner to remain care
fully at attention with heads to the
front until the last note is played,
and to refrain absolutely from con
,ersation.
"They should keep silence. unless
The words OF the national air are
Jung by the audience. In assemblies
,ut OF doors, boys should stand with
heads uncovered.
"In this matter the pupils OF our
public schools may be taught to set
/ splendid example"

A POEM OF MOTHER FROM
BEAVERS

Dear mother of us all you are bent
and worn with our lifting
You are as tender and as beautiful
as when you held US first.
Indeed you are more the mother
now because you have become more
by suffering did we unwittingly give
you part Of the load
God forgive US you forgave while
you wept
We bless you today
We may have disappointed every
body else
We may even today be culprit con-
demned and vagabond and out cast
Mother oh mother you would know
and you understand you do know and
you care.
We hold you close today mother of
soft cheek and of the understanding
eye and the knowing heart.
We bring you the same old story of
the bruised and aches and hurts of the
world
Knickerbockers and hair ribbon
and cares like these are yours mother
and yet there was never one that
could soothe as those dear hands
And now mother if you are up yon-
der where God is for there you are if
you are not within reach here
We make demand which is really
a command of the heart that some I'M
occupied angel take you our blessing
Our earth walk is always the path
you made; we have left it sometimes;
we are coming back; we are surely
coming your way ssf
And Oh Angel tell our mothers
whom you have in your company that
we love them ever more since they
spent part of their time here they
are with thee and with US also
Tell them to love us into the Heaven
which is theirs and which we would
not lose.

WHAT is A DAYS PLOWING7

Farmers frequently want to know
how much land can be plowed in a day
and how much work it requires to
break an acre. Records at the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture on 2,122
acres Of land show that it required
3.4 hours of man labor and 9.3 hours
of horse labor for each acre. Of
course, the time required to plow an
acre will depend on the size of the
pillow and the number of horses used.
A four-horse gang pillow with two r.
inch bottoms will average about 4.12
acres a day of 9.6 hours when it is
running 6 inches deep. The same
pillow running 8 inches deep will break
quarter Of an acre less. A three
horse sulky with IA or 16-inch bot
tom will average about 2.5 acres at a
6-inch depth and about OF of an acre
less for the 8-inch depth. A two
horse, 14-inch walking pillow will break
about 1.75 acres day at a 6-inch
depth and about or acres less at
the 8-inch depth.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONFIDENCE

Whereas, in the death of Capt. f.
7. Radford, which occurred at his
home in Covington on the 10th day
of May, 1917, in the sixty-fourth year
of his age, the Bible Class Of which
he was faithful and consecrated
member and the retiring secretary
has met with an irreparable loss, and
sustained a grave and mighty weight
of sorrow in consequence Of its sud-
denness. And, whereas, our beloved
brother was a man possessed of the
most lovable traits of Christian char
acter, ever manifesting concern and
anxiety about the welfare of his fell
lows, and being noted in a preemi-
nent degree for his CHEEKY SMILE, his
absolute want Of prejudice, and his
profound charity for the faults and
foibles of his friends, being so thor
oughly imbued with this latter trait
as to call forth the statement from
his beloved pastor in the funeral sery-
ices over his remains, that never in
his intimate acquaintance of nearly
four years with the Captain had he
ever heard him utter a word Of criti-
cism or make an uncharitable or un-
kind remark about the life or charac-
ter of any man, woman or child in
the community. Rare indeed is this
greatest of all traits and we should
cherish it as memorial to his mem
DRY, and each of US strive with might
and main to emulate his example.
And, whereas, not only our Bible
Class, but the entire community, is
engulfed in pail Of gloom and sad
ness from the depths Of which there
seems to be no escape, when we real
ize that we will meet him here no
more forever.
Therefore, be it resolved:
LIST. That we humble ourselves be-
fore Almighty God, and pray that the
sunshine Of His love may come into
our hearts and the hearts Of his loved
ones anew, and enable us to look up
to Him and say, "Thy will, 0 Lord,
not ours, be DONE, and that through
His wonderful power and mercy may
the dark clouds of sorrow and grief
be dispelled, and our faith be revived 1
and strengthened until hope shall REL

glad and happy reunion with him on

End. In the death of Capt. Radford
good and useful man, a worthy citi-
zen, devout Christian gentleman,
honest and upright in all his dealings
with his fellowmen, has passed away, |
lamented by all who knew and loved

us with reckoning hands to mansions

great loss, praying that the Holy I
Comforter may be to them a very |

that He may grant unto them a full

their souls.
