National defense pushes ritual of standing for star spangled banner
The National Council of Defense women's committee urged all women civilians to stand at attention during the national anthem, with men removing hats and standing at attention. The New York Mayor's committee on national defense began teaching the practice to men, women, and children in schools and public spaces. Notables include plans for a weekly study day, piano department changes at Warrenton Va, and various musical events and personnel movements across Washington, Warrenton, Ocean Grove, Camp Meade, and related institutions.
