nifty for teaching the facts about the
flag and its proper use, with due re-
spect for the material flag and its SYM
bolism.
The American Bond has, among its
other exercises for patriotic teaching
in the schools, the following material
for the celebration OF Flag Day.
Much of it would also be appropriate
for Decoration Day or Fourth of July
programs.
Teachers or community leaders de-
string an entertaining program will
find much dramatic value in this
worked out to its full extent, and given
as far as possible from memory by the
students in unison. The particular eff
feet aimed at is the binding together
of the platform participants, the lead
ers standing near the platform, and
the whole audience, in their seats, into
one continuous dramatic recital, with
out set announcements and. gaps for
coming and going to the platform.
If time and talent arc lacking for
memorization and full rehearsal of
the program, it can be read in part or
different numbers can be assigned to
different groups or individuals. For
the program for d whole school, diff
ferent grades would find certain num-
bers suitable and easy to learn for
their part.
If short essays can be prepared by
individual pupils covering the subjects
of the description, history or etiquette
of the flag, sections 5, 7, and 10,
can be omitted and used for the
essays. Further material for such es
says can be obtained from many school
texts, or the STORY of the Flag"
pamphlet by Virginia Baker, or the
pageant "The Story of the American
Flag" and pieces and Plays for Pa
triotic Days" all published by the
Owen Publishing Co., Evansville, N.
Y, or from the Flag Circular" of the
War Department, Adjutant Generals
Office, Washington, d. c., or from
local American Legion Posts.

Some flags arc red, or white, or green,
And some are yellow, too
But the dear, dear flag that we love

To it our hearts are true,
Above us wave in splendid folds,
The red and white and blue.

Answer; The flag OF the United
States OF America is of red,
white and blue bunting. Its
length is one and nine-tenths
times its width. 1t has seven
red stripes lengthwise and six
white stripes between. 1t has
union OF white stars on a blue
field in the upper corner next
the staff. The union is the
width of seven stripes and a
little longer.
). Teacher: When was this flag le-
gally adopted for our nation?
Ans: On June IA, IVY, the Con-
gress passed this resolution:
Resolved that the flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes
alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars,
white in blue field, representing
new constellation"

OF this design for the flag !?

Ans; (D The British ensign with
double crosses in the corner had

and Indian wars. Revolution
airy soldiers carried it at first
but pat on it such words as
Liberty or Death"
(2) The solid red was changed
to red and white stripes in the
flag called the Grand Union
Flag unfurled for Washington's
army at Cambridge, Massachu-
sets, January 2, 1776. The
stripes were probably suggested
by Washington's own coat Of
arms.
(3) Rhode Island regiments
brought to Washington's army
before March 18th a white flag
with a union carrying thirteen
white stars on blue field. At
ter this union was taken for the
national flag Rhode Island did
not use it on her flag.
(4) The complete flag of stars
and stripes was first carried in
battle at the Brandywne. 1t
was first saluted by a foreign
power when John Paul Jones
carried it to the coast of France
on his ship the Ranger" He
was made captain on the day
the flag was adopted SO he said,
7.1e "The flag and ! are twins.
We cannot be parted in
life or in death" A flag thought
to be this very flag has been
found this year in Maryland.
(5) After several changes in
the numbers of the stripes and
the stars Congress enacted a
law in 1878 providing that the
stripes should always remain
thirteen to represent the original
thirteen colonies and that there
shall be star for every State
in the Union. Now there are
forty-eight.
;. Teacher: Who cut the stars five
pointed
Ans: Mistress Betsy Ross, who
made the first flag as pattern
for George Washington year
before it was adopted.
}. Teacher: What do the colors
represent?
Ans; According to report to
Congress by Benjamin Frank
lin, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson in 1882, white signi-
hes purity and innocence; red,
hardness and valor; and blue,
signifies vigilant per-
severance and justice"
}. Teacher: How should the flag be
placed?
Ans, When the flag is raised on
staff, it should be at the very
peak, unless lowered to half
mast for mourning. 1t should
be high enough so it will not
whip against anything. When
spread on a wall the blue union
should be above and at the

spectator lett. When hung
over a street the union should
be to the north or to the east
II. Teacher: How should we show
Our respect for the flag?
Ans: When the flag goes by
everyone should stand, still, at
attention. Men lift their hats.
Soldiers salute. The flag should
never be traicd on the ground,
or used for advertising or have
anything placed on it or above
it. 1t should not be left out in
stormy weather or at night.
"'The flag is a thing alive" and
means the presence of our gov
ernment.
