one of the most desirable Of all the Gull

the musical culture that they will alb

women, more cultured, more fitted for
enjoyment Of life. Music and art are
two things that our American schools
have been lacking. In ca dar Rapids we
have made good beginnings in both
these exquisitely cultural studies and
we should not abate them. 1t would be
better SO to cut out algebra and some
of the other highly practical things
than to cut out the music.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Washington still lives, said one of
our statesmen in times of direst dis
tress. Sure thing, and it is going to
continue to live" says the Cornell Her
aid. There is no likelihood that Pres
ident Wilson will encounter the least
difficulty in finding ptariots enough to
fill the offices. The list of men willing
to sacrifice the pleasure of private life
and selfish pursuits for devotion to
the nations affairs grows every day.

petuity of this nation and the patriot
ism of its citizens"

THE SIMPLE" INAUGURAL.

applaud when he has won a point. He
likes to show that he is OF the winning
side. In the old days the winners used
to build bon fires bring out the bands
and hear speeches of satisfied citizens.
But this is past Most states in this
day are very conspicuous when the gov
ernor takes his office. The colonies"
are out in their blue and yellow, their
regalia and their swords: the state

them all up to the capitol building. 1t
is not display of miIitarism, but it is
recognition of an event of considerable
importance.
1t is the people who are responsible

 The tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon was mecca to which many hundreds made their way, and the great stones beneath which rest the first president and Mrs. Washington, literally were buried beneath the flowers strewn upon them.
 The wheels of government activity are at a standstill in recognition of the day, with the exception of the two houses of Congress, which must content themselves because of the heavy pressure of unfinished busi- ness, with the reading of Washing tons famous farewell address.
