Procedure:

Once a week children are organised into the form of a hollow square facing the flagpole. When, at a given signal, the flag is run up, the boys should salute, and the girls stand to attention. Then all, placing the right hand on the left breast, should say the following words simultaneously:

"I love God and my country; I honour the flag; I will serve the Queen, and cheerfully obey my parents, teachers, and the laws".

Immediately afterwards, taking the time from the teacher, or some one appointed for the purpose, three cheers for the Queen should be given, the boys uncovering their heads.
