The Star-Spangled Banner By Eva March Tappan (Adapted by Frances Jenkins Olcott) In 1814, while the War of 1812 was still going on, the people of Maryland were in great trouble, for a British fleet began to attack Baltimore. The enemy bombarded the forts, including Fort McHenry. For twenty-four hours the terrific bombardment went on. "If Fort McHenry only stands, the city is safe,'' said Francis Scott Key to a friend, and they gazed anxiously through the smoke to see if the flag was still flying. These two men were in the strangest place that could be imagined. They were in a little American vessel fast moored to the side of the British admiral's flagship. A Maryland doctor had been seized as a prisoner by the British, and the President had given permission for them to go out under a flag of truce, to ask for his release. The British commander finally decided that the prisoner might be set free; but he had no idea of allowing the two men to go back to the city and carry any information. "Until the attack on Baltimore is ended, you and your boat must remain here,'' he said. The firing went on. As long as daylight lasted they could catch glimpses of the Stars and Stripes whenever the wind swayed the clouds of smoke. When night came they could still see the banner now and then by the blaze of the cannon. A little after midnight the firing stopped. The two men paced up and down the deck, straining their eyes to see if the flag was still flying.

84. Flag Day: Betsy Ross And The Flag By Harry Pringle Ford (Adapted by Frances Jenkins Olcott) On the 14th day of June,1777, the Continental Congress passed the following resolution RESOLVED http://www.theholidayzone.com/flag/flag.html

Betsy Ross and the Flag By Harry Pringle Ford (Adapted by Frances Jenkins Olcott) On the 14th day of June, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the following resolution: "RESOLVED, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." Prior to this, in 1776, a committee had been appointed to look after the matter. Together with General Washington they called at the house of Betsy Ross, 239 Arch Street, Philadelphia. Betsy Ross was a young widow of twenty-four. She was supporting herself by continuing the upholstery business of her late husband, John Ross, a patriot who had died in the service of his country. Betsy was known for her exquisite needlework, and was engaged in the flag-making business. The committee asked her if she thought she could make a flag from a design, a rough drawing of which General Washington showed her. She replied, with diffidence, that she did not know whether she could or not, but would try. She noticed, however, that the star as drawn had six points, and informed the committee that the correct star had but five. They answered that as a great number of stars would be required, the more regular form with six points could be more easily made than one with five. She responded in a practical way by deftly folding a scrap of paper; then with a single clip of her scissors she displayed a true, symmetrical, five-pointed star.

T he Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a type of the modern people's libraries that are being conducted in most of the smaller towns and great cities of the United States. It was founded in 1895 by Mr. Andrew Carnegie who provided $6,000,000 for the central and branch library buildings, with the understanding that the library itself should be supported by public taxation and receive an annual appropriation from the municipality. No city in America offers a better field for the development of a people's library than Pittsburgh, yet no city has had to master more definite difficulties in working out an efficient system of book distribution. Were Pittsburgh level like Chicago or Cleveland, one center for book distribution would suffice for a district half a mile in radius; but because of the bluffs and "runs," it has been necessary in some cases to place two or more such centers within a small area. Moreover, toward the "Iron City" the tide of immigration is continually flowing, producing crowded living conditions and serious industrial problems. The United States census of 1900 reported two-thirds of the population of Pittsburgh to be foreign born, children of foreign-born parents, or persons of Negro descent. Of the 84,878 foreign born, 33,350 only came from English-speaking countries, and the percentage of illiteracy in the city was 6.3 as compared with 3.9 in Chicago and 4.7 in Cleveland. The census also showed a city of 90,000 mechanics, skilled workmen, and day laborers, as against 34,000 tradesmen, officials, clerks, and so forth, and 6,000 professional men and women.

Again visionaries, in this case, Governor David Lawrence, Chancellor Litchfield, and Vice Chancellor Van Dusen at the University of Pittsburgh decided at the urging of the University Librarian, Lorena Garloch, to establish a library science program at the University of Pittsburgh. The University worked with Carnegie Tech to move the program to Pitt. Recognizing the need for an additional 1,250 librarians in Pennsylvania and 18,000 librarians in the nation, the State legislature voted for an appropriation of $54,000 and Governor Lawrence signed the legislation, noting: "It is imperative that such a course be offered in Western PA. It is also imperative that it be part of a full-time, broad academic institution such as the University of Pittsburgh, where graduate students may draw upon the vast technical and instructional resources of one of the Nation's outstanding liberal arts schools".

97. Introduction: An Apology For The Exhibit For example, in 1914, with, perhaps, extraordinary pertinence to today, FrancesJenkins Olcott, in The Pittsburgh Survey wrote that the Library also does a http://alphaclp.clpgh.org/exhibit/apology.html

An Apology for the Exhibit Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born," said Cicero, a long time ago, "is to remain always a child." I f you choose to get truly lost in this exhibit, wandering through Pittsburgh past and present, you must remember that its photographs and text, in their totality, describe a Pittsburgh, a reality, which does not, and never did exist. The photographs and text describe a Pittsburgh that exists only in the construct of this compiled, electronic, online exhibitquite different from the scene out on Forbes Avenue.
