The Pledge to the Flag

Description

"Every school in Chicago, yes, every school in the United States, should require of its pupils on every Flag Day, and on every holiday, when the flag is raised, to stand at attention and give the pledge."

Harry B. Garrett writes a short opinion based article on the Pledge of Allegiance during its early years. Garrett, a proud supporter of the Pledge requirement in schools, does not argue that it should be recited every day but only for holidays and major events.
