The National SONG .

All know how hard it is to sing t.The
Star Spangled Banner" Various efforts
have been made to modify it. so that the
high notes may more easily be taken.
The matter has present interest because
the centennial Of the writing of the song
win be celebrated next year and the pre-
parations are now under way. The ex-
ecutive committee has put itself on re-
cord as opposing any charge. Itdeclares
for the standard version. both in words
and music. As this song is the national
air of the Army and Navy, by executive
orders. it would. of course, be absurd to
allow variations. and the action of the
committee seems to be well taken. Mo-
body. of course, regards "The Star Span
gled Banner" as great song, and some
of the lines are rather absnrd-but that is
peculiarity Of national songs. We treat
them reveren.ly because they have in
them something better than technical
merit--the underlined and inde6nable
thrill which we cay inspiration.
