in store to try their virtue, and
that they may rally under the
stars and stripes to battle for
freedom and the rights of man
k with our old time warcry, "Lib-
J erty and union, now and for-
a ever, ons and inseparable.”—

RAISING THE
SCHOOLHOUSE FLAG
A Fourth of July Poem
Today the birthright of her hopes the
younger nation sings
As on the pinions of the light the ban-
ner lifts its wing*.
Today the future on ue smiles and stu
dious labors cease
To set the flag above the school, our
fortress wall of peace—
War bugles old, storm besting drums
and veterans scarred and true
And chiWiren marching for the states
mid ros-ts wined with dew.
Behind ye thrice a hundred years, be
fore a thousand grand,
What says the past to you today, O
children of the land?
What are thy legends, O thou flag
that gladdenest land and sea?
What It thy meaning in the air amid
the jubilee?
Flag of the (un that glows for all,
Flag of the breeze that blows for all.
Flag of the sea that flows for all,
Flag of the school that stands for all.
Flag of the people, one and all—
The peaceful bugles blow and blow
across the silver tea.
What it thy meaning in ths air? Oh,
bannsr, answtr ms!
Oh, my Amsrics, whose flag ws throne
amid the sky,
Beneath whose folds ’tie life to live and
noblest death to die,
I hear the peaceful buglee blow across
the silver sea
And bless my Gcd my palace stands a
cottage home in thee!
So speak the voices of the past, ye
children of the land,
Behind us thrice a hundred years, be
fore a thousand gramf.
Such are the legends of yon flag that
gladdens land and sea;
Such it the hand that scrolls the air
this day of jubilee.
Flag of the tun that shinee for all,
Flag of the breeze that blows for all,
Flag of the sea that flows for all,
Flag of the school that stands for all,
Flag of the people, one and all—
Hail, flag of liberty, all haill
Hail, glorious years to coma)
—Htzskiah Buttsrworth in Youth’s
Companion.
