1868. as commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic, he issued orders in re-

been called to the custom OF the South
ern people of annually setting apart a
day TO pay reverence TO those who sac
rificed their lives for principle that
was dearest and nearest to their hearts
The women of the South" says Gen
eral Wheeler, were ever assiduous In
their care of the resting places of their
dead, perhaps because of the customs
peculiar on this side of the Atlantic to
Mobile and New Orleans. where on All
Souls Day each year the cemeteries
We're carpeted with untold myriads Of
rare and costly flowers strewn by de-
voted hands over the graves of the be-
loved dead"
During the contest between the States
the women and children of the South
delighted to bring flowers and ever
green to decorate the graves of the
martyrs to their cause. AS the spring
brought the anniversary of the dooms-
day of the lost cause the fair women
OF the Southland instituted another and
special day in honor of their beloved
soldiers; and the pathos Of the devo-
ton was the deeper in that the sacrifice
of their lives had been made, seemingly,
in vain.
April 26 was the day set apart by q
consent spontaneous In it's universal
adoption Alabama's and Georgia's first
public Decoration Day was 1866. No
more fitting time than the anniversary OF
the loss of the cause so dear TO their
souls could have been chosen for the per-
petuation Of the memory of their he
roes.

OF annually setting apart a day to pay
reverence to those who fell in battle
ana saw the benefits likely to accrue to
posterlty by establishing a similar Gus
tom IN regard to keeping green the
memory of the brave boys In blue. Gen.
eral Logan Issued his order May 5, 1868. =
Ihis celebration at all the Grand Army
posts set this beautiful example to the
people at large. and the custom leaped
into universaltty and soon became part
OF the annual life of the nation. New
York early took the lead, and placed a
law upon her statute books making May
oo legal holiday. which action was soon
taken by most of the Northern and
Western States.
General Chapman attributed the honor
OF suggesting decoration day 20 Gin
cinnau soldier. whose letter concerning
such custom in Germany he laid be-
fore General Logan.
Gen. John B. Murray, on the other
hand. has advanced the claim Of a
celebration held at WATERFOWL, N. Y.
May 81, 1866. 1t has been shown that
General Logan often referred TO his first
decoration day order as the '-proudest
act OF his life,' and the year ii was
issued the first great observance was
held at Arlington Cemetery. with Gen.

II GYPT and Greece and Rome all
made use OF flowers in their
funeral ceremonies. The Greeks
and Romans honored their heroic dead
by magnificent funerals and various an
niversary celebrations. The greatest
orators of the period were proud TO be
selected to pay tribute to the memory
Of the fallen warriors. Pericles was
chosen to deliver the funeral Grafton
over the slain in the Peloponnesian war,
and Demosthenes over the dead in the
terrible battle of Cheronea. All great
nations OF the past have felt and acted
upon this sentiment, and those Of today
are perpetuating the beautiful custom.
Americans honor their patriot war
riors by strewing flowers over their
graves, and by reciting in glowing Ian
guage the historic battles in which they
fell. The American Memorial Day Is
observed III almost every part of the
civilized world-American soldiers lie
buried In almost every cline from the
Arctic to the Tropics, IN the far East
as Well as at home.
Originally designed as day TO be set
apart for patriotic teaching and for the
paying Of a public tribute TO the men
who died in their eountry's service. Me-
mortal Day has in recent years made its
observance co-eXtensive with the boun-
daries of the nation. The decoration OF
the graves Of the soldier dead of the
civil war was one of its impressive feat
ures. but was extended in many Iocali-
ties to the known graves of soldiers who
had fought in any OF the wars of the
Government. Thus soldiers of the Revo-
luton and OF the war of 1919 were duly
honored, as well as those who had
served in the civil war.
Much has been said regarding the ori-
gin OF Memorial Day, and q number of
theories have besn advanced calculated
to prove what suggested to General Lo-
gan the idea to issue orders to the
Grand Army. Of which he then was com

of the theory which he has evolved re-

the theory that the brain can be built

an increase in the structural elements
of the brain cells and whole nervous

evolved an art of using the mind more
efficiently IN the processes OF discovery
and invention and right living.
Professor Gates is a member of the
