Keene, Baleiga. diatery Of Tke Aycack M*««na| April 4» bat the World War and its aftermath prevented the effective furthering of the jaea until three or four years age. J?'rom the first, the Aycock Mem orial Committee had three ideas in mind. I. One was that the- monument should be a free-*:'!* offering by the people he loved and served, and of the boys and girfs for whom he gave the gladdest service of his he roic life, and tha: no contribution hould be received f-om the public treasury. About a third of the to tal amount caire i" pennies and limes from counties* boys and girls all over North Tarolina for whom Aycock had wjder.ea the door of educational opportunity, while the remainder fxpresye* the love of men and women, son, and daughters of North Carolina. z1 . followed him [ in his great campaigns and wished to" express their appreciation of his i life and service II. The second purpose o: the I Committee was -at the memorial should not be the mere statue of a ! man, a mere representation of Ay-j 1 cock’s form and features, but^ that * in some beaulHui and enduring way lit should symbol'.:-.? the ideals and aspirations for which Aycock stood, and fdr which North Carolina stood under his leadership; that through this memorial Aycock should still live and gpeak his high message to ail succeeding generations of North Carolinians. ...S’hrouuh the genius of the artist as expressed in^iwo re- ] | markable historical panels, reinforc. ■ ed by some of Aycock s ow n eloquent I words, this hope has been realized. I III. The third hope of the Com : mittee was that the memorial should be a genuine ami notable contribu I tion to the art treasures of North (Carolina and the South. To this | end, the Committee secured the ser vices of Gutzori Berg]urn, undoubt • edly one of the world’s greatest I sculptors. Already distinguished for having wrought out ome of Amer ica's greatest statues, it is felt that his supreme acheivement—the Stone 'Mountain Confederate Memorial— will rank wjth the Pyramids for ma jesty and sublimity. Avoiding a , traditional smoothness and overem , rhasis of detail, Borglum works in the style of his great master, Rodin, : achieving effects by bold, rugged, and vigorous outlines, giving his I Statues and expression of Jife, force | and virility rather than mere pas r.sive elegance. i CARu- IN A COLLEGE --0O0 The voice and piano classes 14i • u.« an unusually interesting rec-itu .

C »r itol Square, Raleigh, has revived interest in the career of this dis tinguished North Carolinian. In this connection, attention is direct ed to “The Life and Speeches cf Charles B. Oycock” by R. D. W. Connor and Clarence Poe 369 pages, illustrated). Dr. C. Alphonso Smith says of this book, “It is not a bio graphy, but a life. There’s more North Carolina in it than any book ever published.” Dr. John E. White says: “The book was a thrill of joy to me from beginning to end. I read it through at a sitting^ as I would a novel.” Rev. Geo. W. Lay writes: “The book ought to be the political Bible in North Carolina for the next ten or fifteen years. 1 intend to read the speeches two or three times every year and every other North Carolinian ought to read them at least once a year.” *; This book may be had through The Scottish Chief office at $1.50 or ■with a year’s subscription for S3.50. , —-oOo-1, • , .

Untiring in her efforts she not only taught the school text books but the book or all books, the Bible. Her influence for good radiated from h|r presence everywhere, but from nowhere like that of her work in- the school room, an inspiration always, to the boys and girls that she taught, the impression to good citi zenship left is prominent wherever She torched the mind.
