PROFESSOR STANLEY TRACES
ORIGIN OF The FOLK SONGS"
SONGS HAVE PASSED FROM ONE
COUNTRY TO ANOTHER.
Marching Through Georgia" Typical
American Folk Song.

Prof. A. Augustus Stanley, OF the de
partment of music of the university of
Michigan. lectured before o large au-
dience at the high school assembly
room last evening on Folk Songs" The
lecture was the fourth In the series In
the university extension course and
proved 81 great interest, being made
additionally so by the illustrations
given ny Professor Stanley on the
piano.
Professor Stanley traced the origin
Of folk songs back To the middle ages,
showing how In general they were
nased upon simple and homely themes
and had passed with slight variations
from one country to another. finally
appearing In the works OF great mod
ern composers. He said that in his
opinion Marching Through Georgia"
was the most typical American folk
song.
The next and last lecture in the
curse will be given on Monday even

It's name is derived from the seven
weeks which elapsed between the de-
parture of the children of Israel from
Egypt and their arrival at Mt. Sinai.

of Passover. 1t too. has both an ag-
r,cultural and historical aspect. This
was the early harvest season when the
first of the wheat. baked in two loaves
If bread, was brought as an Offering
of gratitude and as a token of mans
dependence upon the goodness of God.
Historically II goes back in memory to
the PRONUNCIATION of the Ten Com
mandments, when Israel accepted the
new moral code and religious legisla
ton, and was aroused for the first
time to the consciousness of his new
spiritual task and destiny. The Ten
commandments were the Magma
Charta of religion Having secured
political freedom. Moses found II nee
essary to give his people religious
freedom. The new nation must be
buttressed upon religious obligation
They may be kingdom, but they
must be a kingdom of priests. a holy
nation.

a more impressive hold today by en-
twining it's symbolism about the i'm
questionable child. confirmation" is
the youths feast OF self conservation.
The Jews publicly affirm by this cere-
monial that their children, the first
ripe fruits of their religious schools,
shall stand morally and religiously in
the same enthusiastic and receptive
attitude as did their fathers at the
foot of Mount Sinai.
Shabuoth has a distinctly modern
and Indispensable appeal to the indi-
vidual. It teaches. first Of all, that re-
Iigion, as a necessity OF life, is the
actuatins motive and sanction OF per-
sonal. social and national character
Secondly, II champions the cause OF
religious freedom as the most highly
priced privilege and possession OF the
human race.
