C« APRIL 28. 1927 8 PAGES MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS We are glad to note that our trus tees have at last added music in the public schools. For a long time it has been needad and we have never un derstood why such action hasn’t been taken before now. It heartily meets with the approval of the patrons we are quite sure. Everybody loves music, ye are very few people who sing. The principle reason for with we older folks especially, is that we never had an opportunity while children to study music. The result new is that we make a failure at our sir.ging. For this reason we should give the* boys and girls an opportunity to study music and develop theif talent. The time will be well spent in our schools ir trying to drill a little music in their of that city of which he had been a lifelong friend. Where could he have invested his money to do more good or bring greater returns ? Presbyterians of wealth, scattered over the three synods owning the or phanage here, are frequently remem bering the institution in their wills by expressing a desire to help build up its endowment fund. In this spirit of liberality and helpfulness, they are setting this community a fine exam- pTe. There is considerable wealth in Clinton and yet it is very seldom that our people ever do anything really worth while to help either the orphan age or college. Miss Carmichael has set an example worthy of emulation by those who are blessed with wealth. . . i , 1 .. .. . „ secretary of the Laurens Red Cross. sJes of athleuc .uppl.oj. to coUenes; ^ f()r Uurens t .„ u „ t js , 600 and the officers stated that {his and public schools.

Clinton is quite backward in musi cal taier.t. ard the neglect of musical education in the ccmmunity is largely respocsib e for this condition.

C. 94 CLINTON SHOULD HELP Clinton should open her heart and purse to he?p relieve the storm suffer ers in the Mississippi valley. As we read the dreadful story, having never experienced any such calamity, we cannot imagine the wholesale suffer ing that is right here at our doors. The conditions have been growing worse for several days past until Pres ident CooI»dge has selected Herbert Hoover, a very capable man, and sent him to the devastated scenes to head the relief work. It is estimated that $5,090,000 will be immediately needed to care for the more than 150,000 ref ugees. The nation's response thus far has amc-unted to $2,000,000, and it is very likely that the further need ed funds will be provided. Clinton should not be satisfied to sit quietly by and refuse to help these unfortunate and suffering pe^ pie. It is not a duty, but a privilege that is car’s, ard the appeal should touch our hearts as it already has millions of otfctT peop.e all over the nation. Contrifcctions left at the banks will be collected and forwarded through the State- Rt-d I'ross. But this is too indefinite. There should be a com mittee cameo to do the work and to put the appeal properly before our people. The churches should take the lead and o.her organizations and in dividuals join in. Let Clinton do her part—sh-ixte on us if we fail to re spond. Placid old age is usually the least interesting period of life to outsiders. This is because it is a time of remi niscence. of "going over and dvser ac complishments of the past rather than of achieving new victories. A little over thirty years ago the locomotive Number S99 wa* familiar to everyone. It was ihe fastest en gine then known and had made a speed of over one hundred miles an hour. A few years ago, before it was placed on exhibition, it was almost en tirely' forgotten, used to haul a milk train up and down the rails where it had once been king. Other bigger and stronger engines had come and its past performance had sunk out of sight. Napoleon said: “My power would fall did I not support it with new achievements. Conquest has made me what I am and conquest must sustain __ _ ** me. A little cynicism ■ in regard to ap plause is a healthy thing. The less a person thinka about a past achievement the more other peo ple are liable to think about it. “As a horse when he has run,” said Marcus Aurelius, “a dog when he has tracked the game, a bee when it ha.- made the honey, so a man when he has done a good act. does not call out for others to come and see, but goes on to another act. as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes in sea son.” ing reports, and many helpful sugges-, Representatives who participated in tions were offered to the representa- * oca ' con test. lives, to be carried home to further the work of the Presbyterial.
