PASSING OF THE EX-PRESIDENT. \ The curtain hak tfeen run dpwii.upon the la3t scene of a sterling actor upon the stage of' life. Nearly two thousand years ago it was written by the greatest of all apostles that he who would strive for 'the mastery must strive honorably if he I1 would be crowned. / This conception of life by, the great' divine found a counterpart in the life and character of Woodrow Wilson. In paying my humble tribute to his memory I would not carve from the marble the figure of a mere man, but take from the heartS|Of the American people their passionate love for him and placeT it against the canopy ."of the heavens that coming generations might see and appreciate the wonderful achieve ments he wrought for humanity. History will record W.oodrow' Wilson as the greatest American president./ He lived to serve and literally spent his life in an Bfimest endeavor 'to make the world a fit place in which to live. He is as much a casualty of the World War as the bravest soldier who fell 'on the field of battle. But like the great disciple of the Gentle World, who lived and served centuries ago, he leaves behind him this message: "I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith." ? America today mourns the loss of the greatest exponent of things ennobling known $o this, or any other period in the history of the Country. M. L. Shipman, Raleigh, N.

A SINGING ORCHESTRA Replete with the melod:es that have made the south the home of the heart of songs of the American people, and with a musicianship that would do credit to many of the chamber music organizations of our country, the program rendered by the Virginia Girls establishes a new standard in lyceum and chautauqua music. The instrumentation is musically correct and is of all stringed instru ments. But this does not mean that the entire program is of a "h'gh brow" order. Readings are introduced, not "so so" readings, or make-shift selections, but readings f a distinctiveness and style which vovl.i do credit to a full reading nrogram.
