A more enthusiastic and generally inter- ested assembly has not been seén in Wood- burn, a suburb north of the Soldiers’ Home, than that which witnessed the flag-raising exercises that took place yesterday after- noon. The Woodburn Citizens’ Association wished to present to the new school, which has recently been completed, a flag, and for that purpose the following exercises were determined upon. The children from the Soldiers’ Home School marched in parade to the new building, accompanied hy eir teachers, and led by the G. A. R., Henry Wilson Post, and the William Barry «Army and Navy Post, both of the Soldiers’ Home. Through the kindness of Gen. Stan- ley of the home, the band was ordered to be present at these exercis Mr. Langley, president of the Woodburn Citizens’ Asso- ciation, opened the exercises with an ad- dress, in which he referred in complimen- tary terms to the present system of educa- ton, and then eulogized the flag, saying: What the Flug Symbolizes. Does not our flag particularly symbolize our country—does not each white star rep- resent each state, free and independent? Does not the blue field represent to us that those states are joined in commerce, manu- factures and the ties of friendship? And what does each white band represent, but that purity of purpose, that freedom of thought and speech which characterizes this Inoad republic? And lastly, do not the bands of red symbolize to us that in time past, when foreign foe threatened our freedom, the red blood of patriots was shed that we, their posterity, might enjoy the h of our forefathers, who sought to ‘es- tablish justice, insure domestic tranqutlity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the bless- ings of liberty to ourselves and our pos- terity?” “Though this ilag has during its exist- ence met defeat on land and sea, though she per been trampled in the dust, yet toda ves proudly in quarter, and respected and hono: every clime. Were she insulted, I dare say every man, every boy within my hearing would hasten to arms and defend flag and country, be it at home or abroad. “As prosident of the Citizens’ Associati of Woodburn it is my duty as well pleasure to present to the youth of this hool this emblem of a nation’s power. May it be to each and all of you the em- blem of that patr:otism, that love of coun- try—that principle of liberty and justice, that faith in the power of this country x ch makes it honored, respected and loved. “Accept It willingly and gratefully—accept is as an emblem of a nation’s power—ac- cept it as the gift of an association whose interests are coincident with your own. As it hangs aloft may each wave of the air cement our friendships, our loves to each other. And may the lessons written on its face be lessons of value, instill patriotism in our souls, and teach us to be ever ready to siand up for liberty and liberiy’s insti- tutions Rev. Dr. Buck was unable to attend on account ¢f illness, and the interesting hi tery of the school in that vicinity omitted. Swung to the Breeze. Mr. Langley gave the flag in the name of the citizens of Woodburn to Mr.Janney, super i princtpal of the fifth division, to make the presentation to the school. After a few words of appreciation of so great an honor and short remarks to the school children, dwelling particularly upon the priceless cos: of “Old Glory,” the flag Was given to five members of the G. A. R. As the stars and stripes were swung to the eze the band played “The Star Spangled Banner,” and the old veterans saluted the emblem of liberty. The program hauds of Col. was Sweet, then placed in the who introduced to fe present Commissioner Ross. After a appropriate remarks Commissioner Ross read the petition of the Woodburn cit it to the Commissioners in "4, asking for a new school. This petition stated that a similar petition was sent seven years before, and if a new building needed then, it was much more a neces- sity now. Among the others who addressed the as- iy were Mr. Powell, superintendent of schools of the District; Mr. Gage, Mr. Nalley and Col. Sweet. All spoke fa- verably of the new building, and con- gratulated the people for having such an earnest Citizens’ Association. Many re- marks were made concerning the good and healthful locality. Now the pupils wil be able to have all the advantages of the city school, enjoying at the same time the fresh air of th arb. The Soldiers’ Home Pand played several iections, the school iumbia, the tar Spangled ation, The ands by the Flag,” by An- drew Hammond, and appropriate flag ver: were spoken by Ernest Langley, Be: sie King, Alice Murphy, Mary Lippold, Em- ma Wiltberger, Lottie Heitmuller, Annie Martin, Mary Kerbs, Mary Mondy and Charles Lippold. The exercises closed with “America,” by the band. The New Building. The new school house, which bears the name of Woodburn, is situated near Stott’s station, at the junction of Rigys and Blair roads. The site is a very desirable one, d has abundance of shade and groves near by and pure and healthy water. The appropriation for the site and building was $12,000, and the present building shows that the money was judiciously used. The schocl was begun in October, 1895, and was completed April 28 last. The contractors were Messrs. Pavrena and Greer. The building is substantial, and capable of last- ing many years. It contains four large class rooms, each with an adjoining cloak room, and two large play rooms in the basement. The old school building, situated at the end of the Soldiers’ Home cemetery, was erected about thirty years ago. This has but two rooms, which made it impossible to accommodate the pupils, who were rap- idly increasing year by year. A new school had become a necessity, and with this in view the Woodburn citizens sent their pe- tition to the Commissioners. The new building wtll be furntshed during the sum- mer months, and will be ready for occu- pancy in the fall. The teachers now at the Soldiers’ Home School are Miss King, principal and teacher of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades; Mr. Draper, teacher of the third and fourth grades, and Miss Minnie Compton, who has the first and second grades in charge. Though the school has progressed wonderfully in the last few years, a greater advancement is expected when the pupils are firmly established in their new quarters. The whole affair yesterday reflects great credit upon the Woodburn citizens, who feel that their earnest work has been crowned with success.

Permission was also asked of the rezents to hold a patriotic rally of Endeavorers on the lawn in front of the mansion the after- noon following the formal close of the con- vention sessions, and while action has not yet been taken, the members of the com- mittee of '% are hopeful of a favorable re- sponse. Mount Vernon will be thronged with visitors during the Christian Endeavor convention, and arrangements have been made to run three excursion boats to the historie grounds, each of which will, if necessary, make three trips a day. The detail of the musical side of the con- Yention is rapidly assuming definite shape. The four sections of the chorus met again last night for rehearsal—Section A in the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, with Mr. P. S. Foster in charge; section B in the First Presbyterian Church, led by Chair- man C, 8. Clark; section C, under the dire tion of Mr. Russell Barnes, at the Garfield Memorial Christian Church, and section D at the Western Presbyterian Church, with Mr. Harry G. Kimball, the aid of the mu- sic committee, as leader, The attendance was excellent, work of the sections exceedingly enc ing to the music committee. ‘The interes which has been taken in the work from th. start by the thousands of si i and the prising. It ds not an easy task to organ- ize and train a chorus of such propor- tions as the '% convention chorus, but the music committee is now to be con- gratulated upon the excellent wor that has been accomy hed, The committe however, docs not wish all the credit. Much is due to the interest and faithful. ess of the singers themselves. They de- erve hearty commendation for the ef- fective work they are accomplishing, and Will undoubtedly be well repaid by re- ceiving much of the earnestness and spirit- ual uplift that always comes with ettend- ance upon the sessions of an international Christian Endeavor convention. Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, D.D., who ts chairman of a committee’ of Washington ministers which will have charge of the pulpit supplies during the Christian En- deavor convention, has issued the following notice: “Any pastor in the city or immediate vicinity Who desires his’ pulpit supplied on the 12th of July, during the se: of the fifteenth international conver of Christian Endeavor, will pl! e at once to the chairman of committee on supplies, Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, 1306 necticut avenue, giving name, ‘denom: ton and lecaticn of his chureh, and whe; er he wishes a supply for both morn and evening, or for one service only. P: ters are requested to make their arrange ments through this ccmmittee in order to avoid confusion, and if any have invited friends to supply for them, to notify. the committee to that effect. ‘An immediate response will be a great favor to the com- mittee.”” ENJOYABLE STUDENTS’ CONCERT. Pupils of Mrs. Hnrrict Mills Present an Interesting Program. Mrs. Harriet Mills’ students’ concert at Metzerott Music Hall last evening was a complete success in every way, the accom- modaticns of the Wall being scarcely suffi- cient for all those who were present. ‘The program was one of unvaried excellence, and each and every one of the many perform- ers acquitted herself or himself with the greatest amount of credit. Each one of the students received a tribute of flowers, and because of the extreme length of the pro- gram no encores were allowed. But this did not stop hearty and emphatic applause, an.

The principal soloist of the evening was Miss Lotta Mills, pianist. She rendered two elections, Leschetizky’s Venetian barcarole and the “Magic Fire Music” from “Die Walkure,” and showed in each her complete command of the instrument upon which she played, her interpreiations of the numbers being: masterly in every respect. Miss Mills has gained in breadth of tone, tirmness of touch, clearness of enunciation and ease of man- ner since she was last heard here, and her command of her audience was so great that the rule against encores was obliged to be broken, and she gracefully responded. ‘The accompanists of the evening were Mr. Fronani, Mr. Varela and Mrs. Flint. Those who rendered solos were Miss Driver, with violin obligato by Mr. Hopkins; Miss Halley, Miss Doe, Mr. Luebkert, Miss McCullough, Mrs. Flint, Miss Whitaker, with violin ob- Mgato by Miss Bertie Lucas; Mrs. Goddard, Mr. Jones, Miss Corby, Miss McKee, Miss Tyler, Mr. Roberts, Miss Reichenbach, Miss AtLee, Mr. Wagner, Miss Simonds and Miss Judson.
