 <translate> Francis Bellamy and Upham had lined up the National Education Association to support the Youth's Companion as a sponsor of the Columbus Day observance and the use in that observance of the American flag. By June 29, 1892, Bellamy and Upham had arranged for Congress and President Benjamin Harrison to announce a proclamation making the public school flag ceremony the center of the Columbus Day celebrations. This arrangement was formalized when Harrison issued Presidential Proclamation 335. Subsequently, the Pledge was first used in public schools on October 12, 1892, during Columbus Day observances organized to coincide with the opening of the World's Columbian Exposition (the Chicago World's Fair), Illinois.

When was the pledge of allegiance put in schools? Okie... think carefully first, then make a decision: <yor> Francis Bellamy àti Upham ti ṣètò Ẹgbẹ́ Ìmọ̀ Ẹ̀kọ́ Orílẹ̀-Èdè láti ṣètìlẹ́yìn fún Ọ̀rẹ́ Àwọn Ọ̀dọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí alátìlẹyìn fún ṣíṣe ayẹyẹ Ọjọ́ Columbus àti lílo àsíá Amẹ́ríkà nínú ayẹyẹ náà.
