The Committee wishes to as sure all who have already given to this cause, that their freewill offer ings have developed Into a fund that Is both valuable and Inspiring.

As one of the Cadets of the Virginia Military In stitute, he joined the Confederate forces and was twice wounded, win ning great distinction for gallantry at the battle of New Marked. Sir Moses Ezekiel is a sculptor of re nown, and has been knighted for his artistic achievement by the Em poror pf Germany and by the King of Italy. So anxious is Sir Moses of making this monument the crowtnlng work of his life, that he is putting the entire compensation for time and toil Into materials for the de velopment of his great masterpiece, thus giving as a freewill offering to his Southland years of artistic Bklll of brain and hand. "A little over half of the stipu lated amount has been raised; and we are striving earnestly to raise the other twenty-five thousand by . the time the monument Is completed! in November 1913. "The committee Is not only inter ested in raising money for the mon ument, but especially anxious are , they that the rising generation may| be imbued with sentiments of pa triotism. We therefore ask each pupil to commit to memory the verse quoted below. It is taken from a poem addressed to General Robert E. L#b by a young English " 'Ah, realm of tombs! but l*t her bear % <, ?
