Detroit has a seven-member
School Board elected at large, Dr.
Odell explained and they obtain
their funds from City Council
in the same manner as does the
School Board. He said that while
the school buildings there are ideal
he did no think II was possible for
any one to place tho same sort OF
buildings in all cities or to have
any two buildings alike in any two
sections OF one city.
Detroit, he said, is spending $31.-
100000 for school buildings alone
in 1922. Mr.. Taylor. he explained
is making an exhaustive survey OF
this city, districting it to determine
the best location OF school sites.
These were matters he said which
could be considered after the dues
tion OF administration and type OF
building is determined.

the public funds OF the city should

In speaking OF the trip to Detroit,
Dr. Odell said:
'Mr. President and Gentlemen:
When you asked us to help you in
this important matter OF preparing

once that this was not a case for
someone to make an investigation

Dr. Odeli then spoke OF tho trips

drous ocean, vast and blue; it nils

again of purple pills; they speak OF

For certain reasons which need
not here be recited, but which are
writ large in the history of the
American colonies, the Puritans of
New England greatly liked the
British flag.
Hawthorne has told us of stern
John Endicott, and how with his
sword he cut the cross of st. George
out of the flag, to the great scandal
Of some and the delight Of others.
The British flag had to wave over
the castle In Boston harbor, and be
used in the saluting Of passing ships,
but as for the colonial militia, they
invented their own flags. and they
were most unlike those OF Great
Britain.
Still. when the day came when the
flag first appears in u national
song and story. it was only there.
and nowhere else:
By the rude bridge that arched the
food,
Their flag to Aprirs breeze unfurled:
Here once the embattled farmers
stood,
And fired the shot heard round the
world.
But if we had asked Mr.. Emerson
just what flag it was which the en-
battled farmers unfurled to Aprirs
breeze, he would have said he did
not know. AS a matter Of fact, they
had no flag. The Pine-Tree flag was
growing in popularity, but it had not
been officially adopted, and the mi
litia came together too quickly to
find a flag.
Place Ready
Not till the Declaration of Inde-
pendence vas nearly a year old did
congress, on June IA, 1777, resolve
that the flag should have thirteen
stripes of alternate red and white,
and thirteen stars in a field Of blue.
When the new flag arrived, there
was a place for it-for already lib
erty poles" were common. These
seldom bore a flag in early days. but
they carried notices such as mo
Stamr :" mo taxation without
representation" And now and then
bore the effigy of a stamp-seller.
At the outset there was such free
dom in the matter of invention OF
flags, such variety in their use, that
there was opportunity to test out
several different ideas.
The Betsy Ross story comes to lis
rather remarkably well attested. Her
daughters and grandchildren have
written the narrative as she told II
to them. She was a skilled needle
woman, and lived in a small house
in Arch street, Philadelphia. Three
gentlemen called upon her with a
pencil sketch of the flag they want
ed her to make.
What 1t Means
She made, as she afterward re-
membered, three suggestions.
The first was that the flag should
be longer in proportion to its width
than the sketch they brought; she
suggested that it be a third longer
than the breadth.
The next was that the stars should
| not be scattered ir~regularly, but ar.
| ranged in some regular form.

Ward Beecher, the far-famed preacher.

"The death of Colonel Galbraith was a loss
to the whole nation" The mayor OF a western
city who so expressed himself when he heard

American Legion voiced the peoples unani-
nous sentiment.
:. ,Galbraith's splendid work for the disapieu
to n ms OF the World War had so endeared
S..irrxJ-xSery s&vice man, that it is doubtful
whether the passing of any other man would
have been felt as keenly by the American SOL
diers.
Trmediately upon his election as head OF
40 American Legion, last fall, he threw HIM

to the disabled soldiers.
This great work was Just beginning to bear
fruit when one of those sudden and inexphcaple
tragedies struck him down.

nzander was not to live to see the full fruition

cause will be the inspiration to others to carry

YOUR FLAG, MY FLAG

The third was that the stars have
Ave points instead of six, as IN the
plan proposed. One of the men sug-
gested that a ive-pointed star would
be hard to cut; but h showed how
cloth could be folded 81 as to cut "a
five-pointed star with a single cut.
She folded a scrap of cloth and cut q
fve-pointed star.
The three men adopted all her
suggestions, and she made the flag
according to the amended design.
The three men were her uncle by
marriage, Colonel Ross, who knew
of her skill and was responsible for
the visit, General Washington, and.
as is believed, Robert Morris. There
seems to be a little doubt about the
third man, but none as to Ross ana
Washington.
The symbolism Of our flag is beau
tiful. The red is for heroism, h
blue for truth, aid the white FOR
purity. The longitudinal stripes lend
themselves to the waving effects OF
the breeze as is not accomplished SO
effectually by any other flag.
We are to remember that we had
the stripes before we had the stars.

1t was our navy that gave us our
flag. The specific occasion for de-
terminine the device of the flag was
the appointment of John Paul Jones
to command the Ranger. The same
resolution that prescribed the nag
with its stars and stripes appointed
him to his command.

it is easier to estimate the relative

best, however to Gull out whenever

which is very thin or which shows
evidences of non-production, weak
