Excerpt from A Suggested Programme for Empire Day Celebration, 1915, in the Schools of New Brunswick: Presented With the Approval of the Chief Superintendent and the Board of Education It is only a small bit of bunting, It is only an old colored rag, But thousands have died for its honor, And shed their best blood for the Flag. It is charged with the cross of St. Andrew, Which of old, Scottish heroes had led, It carries the cross of St. Patrick F or' which Ireland's noblest have bled. Joined to these is the old British Ensign, St. George's red cross on white field, Round which, from King Richard to Wolseley, Britons conquer or die, but ne'er yield.
