The presentation of the flag- to the

nesday afternoon. The teachers of the
school. Misses Bertha O. Williams. Orle
Williams, Emu Curtis and Lillian
Hicks, met the occasion with well pre
pared arrangements and a programme
which their pupils performed In an ef
llclent manner after which the Kev. 8.
C. Simpkins in an address befitting the
occasion, presented the directors with
the Hag in behalf of the aforesaid so
cieties. Air." Simpkins said In part:
KKV. SIMPKINS' ADDRESS.
It Is a pleasant occasion that calls us
together this afternoon. We mett lo pre
sent to this school the flag of our I'niun.
This is a tittlnx thing to do; for. surely,
our children should be tautiht from the
lirst to recognize the flag of our conirtum
country; to know what it means, iid
what Is Its history. We hope this beauti
ful school building, which has been erect
ed for the education of our children, may
be for many years a place from which
may go out successive generations of
schools. Well grounded, though young,
thus limy be in the kuowiedge of the char
acter ami extent the history and djstlny
of 'this maKiiiliont country, which thus
will Inherit, and of which the Slur Span
gled Manner is the beautiful and aporo
priate symbol. The youngest of these
children know something of how Christo
pher Columbus In HW sailed over the then
unknown sea to found, as he thought, a
new empire for Spain on the other sldo of
the globe; how he braved the waves of
the tempestuous ocean, nnd planted the
cross on San Salvador after many trials
and hardships, and gave a new world to
civilization and a new hemisphere to the
globe. It Is eminently appropriate thut
we should consecrate our public school
buildings to the highest use of patriotism
and of intelligent love of our country by
raising over them the flag of our I'lilon.
Thirty-two years ago that Hag did not
wave over states united. In a large sec.
tlon of our land it was seen only when
surrounded by serried battalions mined
In Its defense. It was greeted with the
lerrillc roar of hostile cniinun and charg
ing men in brave battle array under skilled
leaders, all striving to tear down and
trample under foot the tlug that we honor
today. Thirty-two years ago we were in
the agonies of a bitter light between
states discordant, dissevered, belligerent
mid drenched ill fraternal blood, and to
those who, like myself, are aide to remem
ber how that light began, continued and
ended, and who look In the youthful faces
of these children the one thought that
presses upon us Is how wonderful the
change, how wonderful the progress dur
ing these thirty-two years. Note the
growth of the settled country over which
our Hag waves today. Note the Increase
In the numbers of stars that glitter in the
Held of blue on that flag since the clos
of the Rebellion. These children ran name
a succession of states westward from New
Jersey ami Pennsylvania in an unbroken
line to the Pacific ocean, and this sug
gests why It Is especially appropriate to
raise the flag of our country over every
public school building ill the land. The
generation represented by these chil
dren will have to meet and solve great
problems of the practical workings of
our free institutions. How very Imp.ir
tant, then, that from the beginning they
should become thoroughly acquainted with
the history of our common country: the
records of the deeds of great men, whose
lives have made that history glorious, and
uf the principles that underlie the complex
system of our federal union.
There Is not wanting Indications that the
dangers which beset and ruined free In
stitutions In the past will, before long,
gather thick ami threatening along the
pathways of our own republic; thut Indif
ference to his political duties and respon.
slbllitles on the part of the otherwise in
tellluent citizen, which nre the lirst omi
nous Indication of a dry rot at the very
foundations of the structure of the com
monwealth Is already so widespread that
we do not notice In others what we are
unwilling to correct in ourselves. It has
ccnie to be an actual truth that hundreds,
perhaps- thousands of our respectable in.
telllKent clllzeiis, tax payers and voters
do not know when nor where the primary
meetings are held, at which delegates are
chosen who set in motion the machinery
of our whole political system, und when
the natural consequences stare us In the
face, regret ami even remorse are not
sutlicleiit to bring forth works, meet for
repentance. It Is therefore a good thing
to raise the flag of our I'nlon over every
public school building In the land and
leach the children from the very begin
ning the principles or our free Institutions,
the bleslngs that flow from them ami the
responsibility that grows out of them, for
thus, ami thus only, can we hope to see
the good shlo of stale manned by those
who know their duty and are brave to
perforin It: not only when the tempest
rages and the dangers from without are
eminent, but in those more trying periods
of prolonged calm when all Is smooth upon
the surface, when sloth and Indifference
have suffered decay, when the rat ltnav.s
the cordage and the Insect burrows in the
wood, and all the while the unseen but
mighty current of the great deep Is drag
ging the good ship Into helpless and hope
less ruin.
Alay the good Frvtv'dence, who has
guided us through so many dangers In
the past years, still protect us In Ihe
yens lo come and save us from the evil
within our selves, and may our I'nion
ever be strengthened so that never again,
while the king of day shall continue to
rise In the morn and the stars twinkle at
night, shall we be in danger of Internal
strife. Alay the Stars and Stripes con
tinue to wave In their original rplelidor
And with good Danid Webster we say:
"Let my last feeble ami lingering glances
In hold the ensign of a republic now known
and honored throughout the world, with
not a stripe erusi d. not a star obscured,
bearing as a motto in characters of living
light blazing on all Its ample folds as It
floats over land and sea In every wind un
der the heaveio-, 'Liberty now und for
ever, one and Inseparable.' "
deiitlemen of the board of education, In
the name and on behelf of these benevo
lent organizations, I present you with this
beautiful American flag, to be held by you
ami your successors, In trust, as the prop
erty of No. 1 school of the borough of
Blakely.
