 Flag Day Tomorrow
 Flag Day will be fittingly observed with special exercises in the various schools about town tomorrow. A large number of pamphlets were re- ceived yesterday by the superinten- dent of schools from the state D. partment of education to be distrib- uted in the Berlin schools.
 A. R. Meredith. commissioner of pamphlet says "The public schools are maintained for the purpose of train ing the youth of the land for effec- tive citizenship. All the agencies of public education exist for this pur- pose. From time to time, however, it is well to give especial expres ssion to this ideal and Flag Day is one of the days which has been set apart for the particular purpose of accentuat- ing the fundamental principles of our representative democracy.
 To assist in developing the spirit of patriotism this pamphlet has been prepared for the use of the schools by Mrs. Belle Holcomb Johnson. vis- itor for the Connecticut public library committee"
 The pamphlet contains a story of what the flag means, the origin of the flag, the American creed, and some of the first occasions in the history of the United States flag. Suggestions are also offered to teachers for the observance of the day.
