Benjamin Harrison, one of the most distinguished of "Our Presidents, " writing on the subject, "This Country of Ours, " in "The Ladies' Home Journal, " says: "If we would strengthen our country we should cultivate a love of it in our own hearts and in the hearts of our children and neighbors, and this love for civil institutions, for a land, for a flag - if they are worthy and great and have a glorious history - is widened and deepened by a fuller knowlede of them." Surely our land is great and glorious, our institutions worthy and our Flag unsullied.
