To the Editor of The Bee: I noticed during the recent Corn ex position that whenever the Mexican band played the air America, "My Country "Tls of Thee," the audienoe invariably rose to its feet to express their patriotism. This waa especially the case among the school children and teachers and while it is most commendable to show patriotism, it la a little discouraging to think that in all that vast audience there were apparently so few who knewy that the national hymn Is the "Star Spangled Banner." With the flag raising ceremony at the public schools and with patriotism taught as strongly as It Is w really as a people ought to begin to learn that the "Star Spangled Banner" Is the national hymn o America. If we are going to stand up, let us Btaud up when the band plays the "Star Spangled Banner." It must seem ridiculous to an Englishman, for Instance, to have an American audience rise to Its feet when the national hymn of England, Qod save the king, is played because the tunev is the same as America, "My Country 'Tis of Thee." I was surprised to learn that so lnlelllgen. a man as the Hon. William Jennings Bryan In speaking at the banquet recently glvei. to the Japanese commissioners told how deeply he was touched when a lot of chil dren sang for him in Japan our national anthem America, "My Country "Tls ot Thee," and Mr. Bryan and his children jolred n singing our national hymn. Really he ought to know better. I do not know of a more wide-spread delusion than this mistaken idea, which is a reflection on the Intelligence of our people. F. L. HALLEU.
