State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
WILBUR L. CROSS
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantatin it
As enjoined upon me by Statute, I hereby designate
Sunday, February 15th, as
ſilaite ſilenturial ſlau
and I direct that on the preceding Friday or the
following Monday there be held in the public
schools throughout the State appropriate exercises
commemorative of the great historical event which
the Statute in question is designed to celebrate.
I recommend that the occasion be taken not only
to recall to mind the heroism of the men who
first gave their lives in the Spanish War, but also
to pay tribute to the courage and lofty idealism
which has always inspired our soldiers and sailors
that there may be inculcated in the hearts of our
school children and our people those virtues of
patriotism and self-sacrifice necessary to the endur-
ance of civil government.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twenty-third day of
January, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one and of the independ-
ence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-fifth.
By His Excellency's Command:
Secretary.
