If You Knew How Good | P “The Memory Lingers” versary, Grand Army Flag day is one pe- cullur to "the state of Rhode Island, made so by legislative act with special reference to observance in the public schools. Feb. 12 is the day established In the annual school calendar to be known as Grand Army Flag day, in honor of the birthday of Abraham lin- coln, and shall be observed with patri- otfe exercises in the public schools, but the day is iBno way construed as a legal holiday in Rhode Island. It is provided that when such day shall fall on Sunday or Saturday the follow- ing or preceding day, respecti as the case may be, shall be observed. In nearly every other state in the union June 14, the anniversary of thé adop- tion of the national flag, is observed as Flag day, and Lincoln’s birthday is given separate celebration. This ‘was the custom in Rhode Island until it was considered best ts consolidate hoth events into ene day of school observ- ance. So Lincolr’s birthday is not a legal holiday in Rhode Island, although it is so obzerved in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illifiofs, lowa, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsyivania, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, West Virginia_and'Wyoming. According to custom, Walter F. Ranger, commissioner of public schools of the state, has prepared and sent to the several ‘schools an elaborate order of exercises suggestive of proper ob- servancs of Grand, Army Flag day and suitable exercises will be held in_the public schools of Westerly and there will be a gemeral dimplay of the na- tional flag on that day. A feature of the observance is the part taken by veterans of the Civil war in the exercises.
