State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SIMEON E. BALD WIN
GOVERNOR
rurlantatin it
Pursuant to an act of the general assembly passed in
1905, I hereby designate Saturday, the fourteenth day
of June of the present year, as
3Flag ſlag
and I direct that suitable exercises shall be planned by
all those in charge of public schools in this State on
that day, or on the day preceding, for the purpose of
commemorating in each school the one hundred and
thirty-sixth anniversary of the adoption of the flag of
the United States.
The vote of the Continental Congress, by which it was
adopted, reads thus: “RESOLVED, that the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and
white on a blue field representing a new constellation.”
I ask the people of Connecticut, so far as may be, to
fling out that flag over their homes on the day above
appointed, proud that theirs is one of the thirteen States
whose representatives devised it, and prouder that she is
now one of forty-eight States for whom it stands as a
symbol of unity and of national glory, each State a star
in the constellation, now not new but ancient, that outshines
the splendor of any republic of ancient or modern times.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State, at the Capitol in Hartford,
this 16th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine
hundred and thirteen, and of the independence of the United States, the
one hundred and thirty-seventh.
SIMEON E. BALDWIN.
By His Excellency’s Command:
ALBERT PHILLIPS,
Secretary.
