INTRODUCTION. The numerous requests from teachers over the State for aid in teaching various subjects, has led to the compilation of selected lists of publications in the State Library that may be of use to them. Effort has been made to include only the practical helps. The general works on pedagogy and psychology are too numerous to be mentioned in so brief a bulletin. The State Library is lending material to schools in all parts of Indiana. The Library hopes that it can be of service to you. THE SALUTE TO THE FLAG. "I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Country for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The American Flag Association, organized in 1898 for the purpose of encouraging public sentiment in favor of honoring our flag and preventing its desecration, proposed the above pledge, to be given daily in public schools, with a salute to the flag.
