In order to be a. citizen, one must know; the present as well as the' past; f of the present is the link between the past and the future. Education must recognize the immediate present and attempt to inculcate in us such knowledge, such habits, and such ideals as will tend to cause us to live, useful, healthful, socially satis factory and happy, contented Jives. Therefore, we must ask this "ques tion, "Of what is this material to the boy or girl, or of what use will. it be when they are grown up?" Our school curriculum must show some-: thine eoncrete and tangible, along; practical or spiritual lines. - There fore what, especial value is attached to music and in what way does music 1 help the school to make fine types of human beings and citizens out of all its pupils? Music study in the public schools may have at least four significant re sults; viz: First, it has a beneficial effect upon the physical, mental an RDiritual life of ah individual: sec ond, it trains our minds; third, it. valued highly as a socializing force; fourth, it -should prove. profitable.'Jsi more worthy;use-of leisure. The first of these values of music study, viz, that it has a beneficial ef fect upon the physical, mental and spiritual life of a person, is perhaps, realized more than any of the other values, for we all know that art is a AMy1n'kcf 11I fiAnin 0 crarnT on1 mucin of some sort has always been in- eluded in an ideal course of study, It is rather difficult to see the im mediate effect of good music, for it is subtle, but it is certainly un mistakable.

TSk powerful socializing forces in exist ence. In music we have a force which draws people together makes them feel neighborly, and stirs them to civic pride and patriotic fervor as nothing else can do. : Why do our own - citizens have singing at their banquets and why is it that musicians have been Allied upon to help in in spiring' patriotic fervor and in arous ing neighborhood loyalty? Why was music considered, so vital a part of the training given our soldiers and sailors during the World War, that the government would almost as soon have considered, dropping rifle drill as eliminating music? - We need neighborly feeling and patriotic in spiration, improved morale and re laxation from strain, as much in our civilians, as in our soldiers, and if music can do these things to a better extent than any other agency, then are . we : not justified in demanding music and yet more music in the lives of all school children? Music in connection with the wor thy use of leisure is my fourth point. It is- becoming more and more com mon to divide the day into three periods, viz: Eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep and eight hours for eating and recreation. I believe that you will agree with me that the happiness, the sanity, and the moral ity of the world depends more upon the third period than upon either of the others. A great deal more de pends upon our leisure now, than formerly, for modern, industrial con ditions are bringing about shorter working days. How now should we prevent the working man from using his leisusa- time in an unworthy harmful way?' By teaching him dur ing childhood to-do things which are not only pleasurable and useful at the time but which he will enjov do ing after he has grown up and which will be beneficial as a recreation af ter he has become a wage earner. Therefore "we must stimulate interest jn history, in literature, encourage physical training and especially the various athletic game3, and finally the schools must foster music, parti cularly ensemble music. 1 I have discussed the four most im portant values of music and there are many more, such as its influence in the school room for relaxation, t it nnwer to stimulate imagina tion and its claim as a vocational convinced that our demand for 20 or 30 minutes daily for music in every school room is not unreasonable.

In his first lecture, Mr. Skeyhill told how, . 3,000 - years ago, the Greeks crossed the Mediterranean and the Aegean and ravaged and de stroyed Troy, and how, in 1915, the British and French went the same "Trojan Way" to the Dardanells where, on the same battlefield that the ancients waged their brutal war fare, the soldiers of today fought hand to hand for the possession, of the Dardanells. With a wealth of de tail the speaker told of the horrors enacted on the battlefields of France, of the children who starve in the re gions devastated by war, and the armies who even nOw wage a hor rible war in Europe. As the most powerful argument against war, he said, he strove to picture it as it is, and he did so in a masterful fashion. In closing. Mr. Skeyhill voiced a prayer for the success of the arms conference now being held in Wash ington, the success of which, he said, depends, not on the delegates alone, but on the will and voice of the peo ple. The lecture Wednesday night was equally as interesting as the first, dealing as it did with the Russian problem, one which is so important today. Mr. Skeyhill told how he was forced to disguise himself to enter Russia, and. of the deplorable condi tion of the people there, and those who heard him declare that Hender sonville has been very fortunate in securing so interesting and cultured speaker. MR. SKEYHILL VISITS SEVERAL LOCAL SCHOOLS While in Hendersonville Tom Skey hill, the famous Australian platform orator, after delivering his lecture Tuesday night in the opera house, visited Fassifern, Blue Ridge School for Boys and Carolina Military-Naval Academy, Wednesday, delivering short addresses at each of these schools. DEATH'S ALLIES Organic diseases of the killed 151.000 Americans in heart 1920, iner! Tuberculosis killed 122,000 in 1920. This was 10,000 less than in 1919. Health campaigns are slowly getting this dread disease under con trol. Cancer's victims totaled 89,000 in 1920, or 5,000 more than the year before. . Cancer, which usually re sults from chronic irritation, is cura ble in its early stages. Our chances of dodging these and all other diseases are increased by the most common sense rules of liv ing plenty of fresh air and sleep, good food and not too much of it, nnHnnr pxereise and no over-strain. oath's greatest ally now is alco holic poi oning.
