NEW RULING ON PLEDGE TO
THE FLAG

Washington advises that when pledg-
ing allegiance to the Flag the hand
should be kept over the heart during
the entire pledge. This is a change
from the old practice in schools, when
at the words “to the Flag” the right
hand was extended, palm upward toward
the Flag and this position was held until
the end.

A joint Resolution passed by the 77th
Congress and signed by the President
on December 22, 1942, reads as follows:

Section 7 provides that the pledge of
allegiance to the flag, “I pledge allegi-
_ance to the flag of the United States of
America and to the Republic for which
it stands, one Nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all,” be rendered
by standing with the right hand over
the heart. However, civilians will al-
ways show full respect to the flag when
the pledge is given by merely standing
at attention, men removing the head-
dress. Persons in uniform shall render
the military salute.

 

“You better live your best and act
your best and think your best today;
For today is sure preparation for to-
morrow and all of the tomorrows that
follow.” —Harriet Martineau.
