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

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.

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.-

on to another act. as a vine goes on
