BY HIS EXCELLENCY
In compliance with the Statute I hereby designate
Sunday, February the fifteenth, as
º 7\N Havana Harbor twenty-Seven years ago an
I event occurred which was to be the forerunner
lºss of a war that gave the boon of freedom to a
lºº smaller nation lying near our shores and
guaranteed to millions republics for all portions of the
American hemisphere.
I recommend that in accordance with the statute suit-
able exercises having reference to this historical occasion
be held on the school day next preceding, or on such
other day as the school visitors, board of education, or
town school committees may prescribe. May such exercises
recall not only the courage and spirit of sacrifice which
has ever inspired our soldiers and sailors but also the high
purpose to which that courage and that spirit of sacrifice
have ever been dedicated. May we always cherish this
tradition of liberty and justice and take strength and
wisdom from the strong souls who have gone before.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this seventh day of
February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-ninth.
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
