Excerpt: ... THE FLAG SALUTE The Flag Salute in most general use in the United States is accompanied by the following: We give our heads and our hearts to God and our country. One country, one language, one flag. After words and movements have been mastered by the pupils the salute should be given with but one signal. Several months of drill will be required, however, before a class of children will have attained this result. Meanwhile, the drill should be given once each day, to a series of signals, thus: The flag, held by a standard bearer, should be in front of the school. 1st Signal.--At a tap of the bell each child takes hold of the back of his seat, preparatory to rising. 2nd Signal.--All rise quickly, and each stands alert and erect. 3rd Signal.--Extend right arm, pointing at the flag; arm raised slightly above horizontal. 4.th Signal.--Bend forearm so as to touch the forehead lightly with the tip of the fingers of the right hand. As the fingers touch the forehead all say, "We give our heads." Emphasizing the word "heads." 5th Signal.--The right arm is carried to the left side and the hand is placed, with fingers open, over the heart, as the words are said, "and our hearts." 6th Signal.--The right hand is dropped to the side. The pupils then continue, "to God and our country." 7th Signal.--Standing erect, but without moving, all say, "One country, one language." 8th Signal.--At the words "one flag," each speaker bends the body slightly forward, and extends the right arm to its full length. 9th Signal.--The right arm is dropped to the side, and all take straight standing position once more. All seated. HINTS FOR TEACHERS Always be prompt. Do your best and then do not worry if the expected results are not obtained. Keep your pupils profitably and happily employed...
