Exercises Held in the Publio Schools. PROGRAMS OF INTEREST OLD GLORY 128 YEARS OLD TO¬ DAY. Throughout the Country It ia Saluted and Praises Are Sung for What It Stands. Today, all over this broad land, north, couth, east and west. In city and town, in hamlet and In village, the national emblem Is flying from government buildings and school houses, from business blocks and private residences, in memory of that time, Just 128 years ago today, when the stars and stripes was first flung to the breeze. Then the nation was as young and as crude as Its first emblem with the thirteen stars. hand-made and home-made, the work of patriotic hands. Today the republic Is big and powerful and respected, honored abroad as well as at home, and the stars and stripes, with the forty-flve stars. Is seen all over the world, and there Is no country so unenlightened that It does not know for what it stands. The American Congress on June 14. 17 a, provided by legislation for the stars and stripes, and of lat« years tbe annlversary of that day has come to be a time for pay ing special honors to the national emblem. Today millions of citizens of the United States.by birth or by adoption-bore on their breasts tiny reproductions In pape and in bunting, of ">* *tar* *"d stripes, millions of school children sang the n tlonal anthem and other patriotic air , SSB S°J? r fflKSW ¦Ef'sr*?£ tsrstfSK sr sraas floated from dawn till dark ever from flag- st ills on roofs, in windows and oyer door- wws In this city, as well as elsewhere The most elaborate celebratlon_was by the mmm fpiilil the lessons that were liua" minds of the younger generation wmoo iflWs LEAD TO COME. Pays Homage to "Old Glory. ' Central High School paid Its homage to the "flag" this morning. The students met in their respective class rooms at 9 o clock and marched In a body to the hall where the exercises were held. No elaborate pr gram was given, but what was lacking In formality was more than offset by the en¬ thusiasm of the pupils. Many of them wore tiny fiags or tri-colored ribbons After the school had sung T^e Fag Prof. Harry G. English introducedI T. S. Hopkins, past department commander, u. A. R.. as the speaker. , . .. Mr. Hopkins opened his remarks b> tell- lnz the story of a Washington woman *'h° wliile traveling In Europe wOTn a tiny American flag on her breast. Asked if it was the emblem of some secret societj she replied, "yes. there are eighty-one million ° The love of the beautiful is Instinctive in the human heart, he said. It Is the gift of God and distinguishes man from brute. When our beautiful flag was designed we transferred from the sky the glittering stars and placed them on a blue field like the azure of heaven, thus creating a new constellation. Things that cost nothing, he paid, are lightly valued. If our flag had cost us noth¬ ing the making of It will not be esteemed as a sacred thing. But It has cost us much.more than language can express; for no one can measure the sacrifice of broken hearts, of bereavement and of hope deferred. Or who can weigh the sighs and groans and bitter tears which for a century- have ascended on high? Each star has cost a multitude of lives; each stripe has cost suffering and sorrow immeasurable. About it, he said, ever waged the fiercest of the conflict, and about it were ever piled high¬ est the dead and wounded. In the hour of victory the dying looked upon Its folds as they rose and fell, and with their last breath thanked God that they had not died in vain. What the Flag Means. In conclusion he said: "The flag means something more than does a mere pretty piece of silk or bunting of pleasing colors. It stands for everything that is high and noble in national character. It stands for human liberty.the greatest of God's gifts; tor equal rights; for honesty of purpose and fair dealing with other nations of the earth; for civilization; for education and for progress. And that flag and those who owe it allegiance are undying In their op¬ position to slavery, oppression, Ignorance and conquest. "The day of tho millennium are yet far away. Again and again will the people be called upon to defend the flag, tnd when the call comes to you God grant that it may meet with a glad response. Go forth under Its folds and strike.strike hard, and If need be die for it. as have so many of your countrymen." The exercises closed with the singing of "America," and the students returned to their studies. The Eastern. The singing of "The Star Spangled Ban¬ ner" opened the exercises at the Eastern High School. Mr. Charles Lyman made an address and the school sang the hymn "America." In the course of his address Mr. Lyman said the f.ag stands for the sovereignty of the United States. He advised the stu¬ dents to think of the great Institutions of the country which this sovereignty pro¬ tects. such as the schools, churches, col¬ leges and courts of law, rather than of the vast territorial extent of the states and possessions and of American prowess in war. Chief among all the Institutions upon which the greatness of the land is based, he said, is the home, and in the last analy¬ sis this brings one to the Individual. "What you are as Individuals the city will be as a city." he continued, "and what the city is as a city the country will be as u country. What shall that be? Is it not a great responsibility and a great privilege to the individual? What each one of you wants. I am sure. Is to be a good maa and a good woman, and then to be a goo I citi¬ zen Then our country will be good and great and the flag will be honored even more than it Is now." Director Hughes presided at the exercises and Principal Swartzell made several an¬ nouncements pertaining to the scnooi rou¬ tine. » The Western. At the Western High School, following the singing of the anthem to the fatherland. Mr. William A. Jack spoke on "The Glories of Manhood." The school then gave the salute to the flag and sang "America." Miss Edith Wescott, the principal, pre¬ sided and introduced the speaker, Mr. William A. Jack, who gave to the students an Interesting talk from the theme, "Glo¬ ries of American Manhood." The program opened by the entire student body singing In unison "Fatherland." The flag song and the salute to the flag were given by the students. The singing of America closed the program. Business High School. The exercises at the Business High School were rather elaborate. Following the ever- popular "High School Cadets" march and the singing of "The Flag" and "Oh, Rest in the Lord," by the school. Miss Manning gave Mascheronl's beautiful vocal solo, "It Is Tour Voice," and Mr. Boernsteln "The Evening Btac" sons from Tannhnnser" on the violin. "To Fatherland" and "Old Glory" were then sung by the school, and Mr. John McElroy made an interesting and spirited address. The program closed with the singing of »'My Country 'Tls of Thee." by the school, and music by Mr. Boernsteln, Mr. Oill and Miss Allen. The music was under the personal direction of Miss Alys Bentley. Col. McElroy said. In part: "We are met to honor the flag of oar country upon the anniversary of its adop¬ tion. It is. therefore, fitting and proper to consider why our flag should be held the most sacred of earthly things. "U is to be held sacred, not merely be- cF.iise It is the flag of the land in which we live, for that has in it a savor of place- pride and neighborhood bigotry; not merely bccause it is the flag of the richest, the greatest and most properous country on earth, with Its 3.600,000 square miles of ter¬ ritory and 82,000,000 people, for that has In It a thought of the arrogance and vain¬ glory of wealth; not because the flag, Xor all the purposes of war is the most power¬ ful in the world, since, if need be, 10,0(10,000 peerless soldiers would rally to its defense. That has a suggestion of the swashbuckler and bravo. "These claims are of the nature that other nations may make for their flags. They have little to do with the spiritual exaltation which Invests our own banner of beauty and glory. For ours we can say that it is the only one that was born of a principle. All other flags in the world came as emblems of the nation's pride and power. Oura was set up by our forefathers aa a visible sign of their Inflexible convic¬ tion that freedom. Justice and right should prevail for all men. "This meaning of the flag had no de¬ pendence whatever upon the number of men under It, or their lands and wealth. Its meaning would be the same If there were not 1.000,000 Americans, instead of 82.000.000, and they had no other wealth than their manhood and womanhood. Britain Then the Best. "Undoubtedly at that time the British government was the best in the world. Un¬ doubtedly our position was the best of any colonies in the world. But our forefathers had left Great Britain because of intense devotion to principles which could not find expression under that government. They had come out from their own people that they might live a higher and better life than they could among them, and tfiey braved all the terrors of the wilderness and of savage foes to realize their Ideals of human government. "When they set up their flag In 1m7, and drew the sword In its defense, they made It the symbol of their startling new doc¬ trine that governments were Instituted for the benefit of the governed, and frheir first and chiefest funct'^n was to secure to every man his na.ural and Inalienable rights, among which were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The (lag was the emblem of a creed for humanity far higher than any ever before announced by man. It raised manhood and womanhood far above the accidents or" wealth, birth and social rank, and mad'' right and justice for every one the supreme duty of govern¬ ments. "This gave our flag an unspeakable ex¬ altation above all other banners which have been raised in the sunlight of heaven, and the character then given It has been un¬ falteringly maintained amid the sorest trials. Things become sacred by being the objf-ct of the highest aspirations of good men and women. It is this which conae-, crates them. Million Men Died for It. "Since the flag was first unfurled more than 1.000,000 men have died bravely and devotedly under its folds. They have only done this because it represented the very best for humanity that could be taught them in the churches, in the schools and at home. Wherever it has gone it has al¬ ways represented the highest that all those who love their kind wished and hoped for. . It has never led to battle except at the bidding of the homes, the schools and churches of the country. Never, on sea or land, has It waved over brave men armed for fight but to do the high command of the h.-arts and consciences of a great, free, Justlce-lovlng, God-fearing people. And we ... . . all doubt and treason scorning. Believe with courage firm and faith sublime That It will float nntil the eternal morning l'ales la its glories all the lights of time."

PROGRAMS OF INTERESTOLD GLORY 128 YEARS OLD TO¬

DAY.

Throughout the Country It ia Saluted

and Praises Are Sung for

What It Stands.

Today, all over this broad land, north,couth, east and west. In city and town, inhamlet and In village, the national emblemIs flying from government buildings andschool houses, from business blocks andprivate residences, in memory of that time,Just 128 years ago today, when the starsand stripes was first flung to the breeze.Then the nation was as young and as crudeas Its first emblem with the thirteen stars.hand-made and home-made, the work ofpatriotic hands. Today the republic Is bigand powerful and respected, honored abroadas well as at home, and the stars andstripes, with the forty-flve stars. Is seen allover the world, and there Is no country so

unenlightened that It does not know forwhat it stands.The American Congress on June 14. 17 a,

provided by legislation for the stars and

stripes, and of lat« years tbe annlversaryof that day has come to be a time for paying special honors to the national emblem.Today millions of citizens of the UnitedStates.by birth or by adoption-bore on

their breasts tiny reproductions In papeand in bunting, of ">* *tar* *"d stripes,millions of school children sang the n

tlonal anthem and other patriotic air ,

Pays Homage to "Old Glory. '

Central High School paid Its homage to

the "flag" this morning. The students met

in their respective class rooms at 9 o clock

and marched In a body to the hall wherethe exercises were held. No elaborate prgram was given, but what was lacking In

formality was more than offset by the en¬

thusiasm of the pupils. Many of them wore

tiny fiags or tri-colored ribbonsAfter the school had sung T^e Fag

Prof. Harry G. English introducedI T. S.Hopkins, past department commander, u.A. R.. as the speaker. , . ..

Mr. Hopkins opened his remarks b> tell-lnz the story of a Washington woman *'h°wliile traveling In Europe wOTn a tinyAmerican flag on her breast. Asked if itwas the emblem of some secret societj shereplied, "yes. there are eighty-one million°The love of the beautiful is Instinctive in

the human heart, he said. It Is the gift ofGod and distinguishes man from brute.When our beautiful flag was designed wetransferred from the sky the glitteringstars and placed them on a blue field likethe azure of heaven, thus creating a newconstellation.Things that cost nothing, he paid, are

lightly valued. If our flag had cost us noth¬ing the making of It will not be esteemedas a sacred thing. But It has cost usmuch.more than language can express;for no one can measure the sacrifice ofbroken hearts, of bereavement and of hopedeferred. Or who can weigh the sighs andgroans and bitter tears which for a century-have ascended on high? Each star has costa multitude of lives; each stripe has costsuffering and sorrow immeasurable. Aboutit, he said, ever waged the fiercest of theconflict, and about it were ever piled high¬est the dead and wounded. In the hour ofvictory the dying looked upon Its folds asthey rose and fell, and with their lastbreath thanked God that they had not diedin vain.

What the Flag Means.In conclusion he said: "The flag means

something more than does a mere prettypiece of silk or bunting of pleasing colors.It stands for everything that is high andnoble in national character. It stands forhuman liberty.the greatest of God's gifts;tor equal rights; for honesty of purposeand fair dealing with other nations of theearth; for civilization; for education andfor progress. And that flag and those whoowe it allegiance are undying In their op¬position to slavery, oppression, Ignoranceand conquest."The day of tho millennium are yet far

away. Again and again will the people becalled upon to defend the flag, tnd whenthe call comes to you God grant that itmay meet with a glad response. Go forthunder Its folds and strike.strike hard, andIf need be die for it. as have so many ofyour countrymen."The exercises closed with the singing of"America," and the students returned totheir studies.

The Eastern.The singing of "The Star Spangled Ban¬ner" opened the exercises at the EasternHigh School. Mr. Charles Lyman made anaddress and the school sang the hymn"America."In the course of his address Mr. Lymansaid the f.ag stands for the sovereignty ofthe United States. He advised the stu¬dents to think of the great Institutions ofthe country which this sovereignty pro¬tects. such as the schools, churches, col¬leges and courts of law, rather than of thevast territorial extent of the states andpossessions and of American prowess inwar. Chief among all the Institutions uponwhich the greatness of the land is based,he said, is the home, and in the last analy¬sis this brings one to the Individual."What you are as Individuals the citywill be as a city." he continued, "and whatthe city is as a city the country will be asu country. What shall that be? Is it nota great responsibility and a great privilegeto the individual? What each one of youwants. I am sure. Is to be a good maa anda good woman, and then to be a goo I citi¬zen Then our country will be good andgreat and the flag will be honored evenmore than it Is now."Director Hughes presided at the exercisesand Principal Swartzell made several an¬

nouncements pertaining to the scnooi rou¬tine. »

The Western.At the Western High School, following the

singing of the anthem to the fatherland.Mr. William A. Jack spoke on "The Gloriesof Manhood." The school then gave thesalute to the flag and sang "America."Miss Edith Wescott, the principal, pre¬sided and introduced the speaker, Mr.

William A. Jack, who gave to the studentsan Interesting talk from the theme, "Glo¬ries of American Manhood." The programopened by the entire student body singingIn unison "Fatherland." The flag songand the salute to the flag were given bythe students. The singing of Americaclosed the program.

Business High School.The exercises at the Business High School

were rather elaborate. Following the ever-popular "High School Cadets" march andthe singing of "The Flag" and "Oh, Restin the Lord," by the school. Miss Manninggave Mascheronl's beautiful vocal solo, "ItIs Tour Voice," and Mr. Boernsteln "TheEvening Btac" sons from Tannhnnser" on

the violin. "To Fatherland" and "OldGlory" were then sung by the school, andMr. John McElroy made an interesting andspirited address. The program closed withthe singing of »'My Country 'Tls of Thee."by the school, and music by Mr. Boernsteln,Mr. Oill and Miss Allen. The music wasunder the personal direction of Miss AlysBentley.Col. McElroy said. In part:"We are met to honor the flag of oar

country upon the anniversary of its adop¬tion. It is. therefore, fitting and proper toconsider why our flag should be held themost sacred of earthly things."U is to be held sacred, not merely be-

cF.iise It is the flag of the land in which welive, for that has in it a savor of place-pride and neighborhood bigotry; not merelybccause it is the flag of the richest, thegreatest and most properous country onearth, with Its 3.600,000 square miles of ter¬ritory and 82,000,000 people, for that has InIt a thought of the arrogance and vain¬glory of wealth; not because the flag, Xorall the purposes of war is the most power¬ful in the world, since, if need be, 10,0(10,000peerless soldiers would rally to its defense.That has a suggestion of the swashbucklerand bravo."These claims are of the nature that

other nations may make for their flags.They have little to do with the spiritualexaltation which Invests our own banner ofbeauty and glory. For ours we can saythat it is the only one that was born of aprinciple. All other flags in the worldcame as emblems of the nation's pride andpower. Oura was set up by our forefathersaa a visible sign of their Inflexible convic¬tion that freedom. Justice and right shouldprevail for all men."This meaning of the flag had no de¬

pendence whatever upon the number ofmen under It, or their lands and wealth.Its meaning would be the same If therewere not 1.000,000 Americans, instead of82.000.000, and they had no other wealththan their manhood and womanhood.

Britain Then the Best."Undoubtedly at that time the British

government was the best in the world. Un¬doubtedly our position was the best of anycolonies in the world. But our forefathershad left Great Britain because of intensedevotion to principles which could not findexpression under that government. Theyhad come out from their own people thatthey might live a higher and better lifethan they could among them, and tfieybraved all the terrors of the wilderness andof savage foes to realize their Ideals ofhuman government."When they set up their flag In 1m7, and

drew the sword In its defense, they madeIt the symbol of their startling new doc¬trine that governments were Instituted forthe benefit of the governed, and frheir firstand chiefest funct'^n was to secure to

every man his na.ural and Inalienablerights, among which were life, liberty andthe pursuit of happiness. The (lag was theemblem of a creed for humanity far higherthan any ever before announced by man.It raised manhood and womanhood farabove the accidents or" wealth, birth andsocial rank, and mad'' right and justice forevery one the supreme duty of govern¬ments."This gave our flag an unspeakable ex¬

altation above all other banners which havebeen raised in the sunlight of heaven, andthe character then given It has been un¬

falteringly maintained amid the soresttrials. Things become sacred by being theobjf-ct of the highest aspirations of goodmen and women. It is this which conae-,crates them.

Million Men Died for It."Since the flag was first unfurled more

than 1.000,000 men have died bravely anddevotedly under its folds. They have onlydone this because it represented the verybest for humanity that could be taughtthem in the churches, in the schools and athome. Wherever it has gone it has al¬ways represented the highest that all thosewho love their kind wished and hoped for.

. It has never led to battle except at thebidding of the homes, the schools andchurches of the country. Never, on sea or

land, has It waved over brave men armedfor fight but to do the high command ofthe h.-arts and consciences of a great, free,Justlce-lovlng, God-fearing people. And we

... . . all doubt and treason scorning.Believe with courage firm and faith sublime

That It will float nntil the eternal morningl'ales la its glories all the lights of time."
