They Unfurled The Flag

Loncerning the dedication of the flag in the Shaw district of Saline, the Observer says: The beautiful flag won at the county fair by the Shaw district was appropriately dedicated Nov. 27th. A pole forty feet long was set near the house and the flag unfurled to the breeze. An excellent program prepared by the teacher, Mrs. M. E. Gill, consisting of recitations and ■singing, was well carried out by the pupils. M. J. Cavanaugh, commissioner of schools, read a paper on "The Co-operative Work of the Teacher, Officer and Parent," which showed that Mr. Cavanaugh is much interested in the welfare of the schools of Washtenaw county. His remarks were well received and very suggestive, which, if carried out, the work of education would not only be well done but very harmoniously. A few remarks by others present closed the exercises. A social in the evening at Mr. Ira Biddle's was a great success.
