Lesch The Raising of the School Flag. 1'he raiding of the flag presented by the teachers and pupils of the Exeter, England public schools to our school took place on Tuesday evening and was an event long to be remembered both by the older people, who witness- ed the affair and the children of the school. Shortly after seven o'clock the par- ade formed in front of the postoflico and marched to the school- grounds. in line were Mr. N. D. Hurdon as marshall, the Exeter band, a squad of soldiers, two sons of Mr. Hurdon dressed in white naval costume, the immense flag and pictures, ;a (number of school children, followed by the town council, school board, •lflreuhen and a number of citizens in carriages. At the grounds a photo :of the large assemblage web taken by Mr. Senior, after which the ceremony of raising the flag was proceeded with Mr. Ar- thur Long, a former resident of old Exeter hoisted the hunting to the top of the flagstaff. The rope was then handed to Reeve Bobier, and after a few pulls the flag was unfurled to the wind and saluted with three volleys by the soldiers while the:band played the national anthem: Reeve Bobier was thenalled upon and in a short address tanked the people of Exeter for the loyalty they had [shown in turning out in such large numbers to assist in the unfurl- ing of the flag of the greatest empire in the world. Rev. D. W. Collins, Rector of the Trivitt Memorial church was then called upoh. Mr. Collins referred to the occasion as a unique one and a fitting manner in which to recipro- cate ;the :3er•erous attitude of the 'iconic of the afdcity of Exeter, Eiiz- land4 who had sent the flax. The ex- change of 'flags he said, was a Sen- timent of loyalty and devotion and inspired a spirit of patriotism. The Union Jack In itself is an emblem of unity of the three countries which formerly trade up the British Em- pire. There are tthree crosses. the cross of St. George, ndopted during the reign pt Edward II1; the cross of St. Andrew, white upon blue, the emblem of Scotland and incorporat- ed on khe flat in 1707 and the (cross of St. Patrick, red upon white, in- corporated in 3801. These :three crosses constitute the one flag to- day that titsnds for the unification of the .`greatest empire in the world.

'The (flax was symbolic of (three of the most in- te.restin; elnsses of people, tinsnr- passed to -day. He referred Ito :the An;lo-Saxon, with their bravery knd skill, the cnreful end Shrewd Scotch, and the keen, penetrnting and sen- sitive people of Ireland, the .grentest combination of races ever known. The cross is si;nificant of s(,niethin; else—the etreatest event in the his- tory of the world—it is the emblem of )esus Christ.

Mr. Collins was heartily cheered at at the close of his address. The patriotic song, written by Mr. N. Dyer Hurdon and set to music by Prof. William Brown was then sang by the school chihlren. Owing to the lateness of the hour Bove. Martin and Fear asked to be excused from making any remattoe. Mr. Flemintr, principal of the school was the next speaker and said it was a proud moment for the Exeter school and thanked the Reeve and others for their untiring efforts in assisting in the undertaking. Ile said this event would he the means of making for Exetera history of which it would feel proud. He had investigated the matter and could not find where such en exchange of flags had ever taken place and felt confident that other places world take up the precedent and make similar exchanges, but at all events Exeter would go down on the records as the fleet place to show such tangible patriotism. The school would prize the flag and the beautiful pictures would he hung on the walla of the school to he admired with pi ide. krGING ON TIiCitSDAY. er five nost successful weeks in r,Prof.tO'Brien will leave for his third annual visit to Stratford on Thursday next.
