THE UNION JACK.
TO THE EDITOR. Sin, —At the present time there are one or more subscription lists going round for the purpose of raising money to purchase a. Union Jack and flagpole for the different schools. Can j'ou tell me whether, in the event of the flags being purchased, the schools will be' allowed to fly them.—l am, etc.,
O.\E Cqxcehnf.d,
[There is a divergence of opinion as to the propriety of the Union Jack being generally flown. The Queen's Regulations provide that the Hag shall be flown by certain specified persons and over certain specified placesforts, for example.—but there is no regulation expressly prohibiting the flying of the Jack by schools, public bodies, or private persons. The matter is at present under consideration, and no doubt an authoritative pronouncement will shortly be made. Meantime the Union Jack has become recognised as the symbol of patriotism and is in widespread use throughout the Empire.—Ed. O.D.T.]
