State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantafiult
Pursuant to the Statute which properly directs a day to
be set aside in memory of the tragic event which precipi-
tated the Spanish War, I designate Friday, February
fifteenth next, as
filaitte ſilenturial ſlag
and I direct the observance of the occasion in all of the
public schools of the State, by suitable exercises, according
to law. May these exercises recall to mind that in honor.
ing the first dead of the Spanish War, we commemorate
also those great principles to which their sacrifice is a
splendid and enduring monument. May we always
cherish the tradition of liberty and justice, and take
strength and wisdom from the strong souls who have
gone before.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this thirty-first day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine and of the independence of the United States the one
hundred and fifty-third.
By His Excellency's Command:
Syca. Z76 fºe
Secretary.
