P Possibilities New Pipe Organ
Demonstrated at Presbyterian
Church Friday Evening.

Church Friday Evening.
The organ recital given at the
Presbyterian church Friday eve
ming was a very delightful enter
tainment. If any one of the
large audience that almost filled
the church failed to enjoy it that
person might see a little light
by thinking of the charming
distich-
diving and finding no pearl in the sea,
Blame not the ocean-the fault is in
thee;
for certainly the new pipe organ
that has just been installed in
that church responded to the
touch of a master hand and was
made to discourse music that was
exquisitely and divinely sweet;
and the choir rendered scme Sc
lections that were also greatly
enjoyed.
Prof. Romano Calendar, of
the Metropolitan College of Mu-
sic, Philadelphia, presided at the
organ, which was purchased
from and installed by him. Rev.
A. E. Baker, pastor of the church,
announced after the recital was
over that though Prof. Calendar
had worked day and night all the
week trying to get the organ
properly put up in time for that
occasion, some of the pipes were
still to be put in. If any there
had discovered that fact unaided
they have an ear attuned to de-
tect more delicate tones than the
average mortal. Even with some
pipes missing, under Prof. Cal
lendar's skillful manipulation it
was demonstrated that the Pres
byterian church has an organ of
which it may we'll be proud, one of
great sweetness and range and
power.
The entertainment began with
the doxology, in which the entire
audience joined, and prayer by
Mr.. Baker, after which Mr..
Baker announced that Prof. Cal
lendar would render selections
from five different schools of mu-
sic. Selections from the German
were first rendered, and these
were followed by an anthem by
the choir, Miss Leslie Proctor,
of the Baptist church choir, and
Mr.. C. B. Skipper singing solo
parts. Then followed selections
from the Italian school, solo by
Mr.. Skipper, from the English
one a composition by Prof. Cal
lendar-a solo by Miss Proctor,
with violin obligato by Mr..
Woodberry Lennon, then from
the French. Befole the last Sc
lections were played the audience
was given a chance to contrib
ute something toward paying
for the organ, and $50 was
realized. The last pieces were
from the American and Scotch
schools, one exquisitely beauti-
full piece being Annie Laurie as
arranged by Dudley Bullock.
The organ was installed at a
cost of something over 1900,
taking into account the addition
that it was necessary to build to
the church to accommodate it.
1t is an elegant instrument and
the members of the Presbyte.
rian church are to be congratu
lated upon this addition to theil
: services, the value of which ad.
: dition cannot be measured ir

rTnivsrsitv. April 1.-(Special,)- 1.-The Glee olnh returned a few days ago from a trip tbro,ph north Alabama This tour ln- c,nded the cities of Bessemer, Shenleio, Florence. Tuscumbia, Huntsville and De- catur All of the performances gwen py the club were largely attended, making tba ,rin financial as well as an artistic success.
 The university will have unusually at- tractive commencement exercises this year if one may judge from present indica- tions. The various events include ad- dresses by noted men, social events Of un- usual attractiveness, many student exer- oises. and a serles of baseball games. Thus it may be seen that the visitors are assured a good time during this impor- tant week. Although all of the speakers have not yet been chosen. two have been invited and have accepted.
 These are Dr. Charles W. Dabney of Cincinnati and Bishop H. c. Morrison of Leesburgh, Fla. pr.

compulsory education is absolutely nec- essary as a foundation for any further legislation against child labor. It Is cer- tainly better for the boy of from 12 to 14 years of age to be steadily at work, even in a factory, than to be loaf ing around with "the gang" smoking cigarettes whenever he can get a nickel and expending his superfiuous vitality in every kind of mischief. Without com pulsory education this would certainly be the case with many boys.
 It is understood that it Is the inten- ton of Governor Conner to call a spe- cial session of the legislature this sum- mer and to make compulsory education one of the chief subjects for considera- ton and I trust for action. When this step has been taken the other will be easy.
 Alabama is not the harsh step-mother of her little children; as she is first in the roll call of states, she desires to be first in everything that contributes to the uplift of humanity. It was an Alabamian, Edgar Gardner Murphy, who conceived the plan of joint action of the southern states for this noble end, which has resulted in this meeting.
 It is said that in former days the Jap anese when founding new temple al ways killed a beautiful young girl and placed her body beneath the cornerstone to insure its glory. Alabama has no desire to follow this example-to found her commercial prosperity on the crushed bodies and souls of her little children.

 No former governor of Alabama has done so much for the children of our state as the present executive.
