given better opportunities than hereto

sponsibilities of citizenship.
Every nation depends for its future
upon the proper training and develop

must have the best training and disci
pline our great democracy can provide
if America is to maintain her ideals
her standards and her influence in tn,
world.

President Of the United States o
America, do hereby recommend tina

to Flag Day, June a. be observed al

for definite recognition of the eifec
