The Pledge to the Flag

Source: Historical and Official Records

(Taught in many of the schools and repeated by the pupils daily)
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One Nation, indivisible,

who made the flags. He also designed the first Great Seal of the United States, and a number of coins and several items of paper currency in the early days of the Republic.

With liberty and justice for all." The Pledge to the Flag, according to a report of the Historical Committee of the United States Flag Association (May 18, 1939), was written by Francis Bellamy, (August 1892), a member of the editorial staff of The Youth's Companion, in Boston, Mass. It was first repeated at the exercises in connection with the celebration of Columbus Day (October 12, 1892, Old Style). The idea of this national celebration on Columbus Day was largely that of James B. Upham, one of the Junior proprietors of The Youth's Companion.

Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was probably the designer of the Stars and Stripes-not Betsy Ross of Philadelphia,

Hopkinson, born in Philadelphia (Sept. 21, 1737) and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was the first native American composer of a secular song. "My Days Have Been So Wondrous Free." He was a lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey, and then in Pennsylvania. He died in Philadelphia (May 9, 1791.) His portrait, painted by himself, hangs in the rooms of the Pennsylvania Historical Society. Phila. He played the organ and the harpsichord.
