houses when the schools are in session. We have just as much occasion to keep the sentiment of national patriotism alive and active as France has and when it can be done at such a trifling expense in time and money and at the same time afford such pleasure to the young in doing it, who shall say no? These thoughts were brought afresh to my attention on reading that during a recent trip to this country the Earl of Meath was so impressed with the display of the Stars and Stripes on many of our school houses that he has donated fifty pounds to the London School 291 Board for the purchase of flags for their school houses. It 292 was further remarked that the Earl was not a mere enthu203 siast, but an observing man of judgment, for he noticed while in this country, that some school boards wished to teach a divided patriotism by flying various flags along with the Stars and Stripes; therefore the Earl made his gift ..296 subject to the condition that only the Union Jack should be ..297 used. The School Board accepted the gift with such 298 hearty approval and such sympathy for the patriotic purpose that they made an appropriation of an additional sum to aid in teaching love of country by means of the national flag.

It is said that the great German statesman, Bismarck, only a few years ago declared that the strength of America. was, not in its marvelous wealth, but in the vivid enthusiasm of the people for their country. The Stars and Stripes floating gracefully on every American school house would be a silent teacher for the thousands of foreigners of all climes and languages that flock to our shores annually; for the "Star Spangled Banner" speaks a universal language.

On every suitable occasion within the last four or five years I have advocated the idea of having the Stars and Stripes float over every public school while the school is in session, thus signifying that the American forts are garri- No country on the face of the globe to-day has such a soned and the soldiers are on duty. It is a pretty idea to heterogeneous mass of humanity to mold and transform inhave a national flag in every school room, but how much to citizens as this nation has, and hence the necessity of a grander and how much more inspiring it would be to have a color guard to fling the beautiful banner to the breeze every morning at the opening of the session and to take it in at the close of the session. I have read somewhere that

central spot in every community from which rays of patriotism for "The land of the free and the home of the brave," may stream forth.

Col. Balch of New York City has done much in his flag the national colors fly over all French national school salute for the pupils and incidentally for the parents. Who
