Augustana Educational Board
Members Consider Import
ant Matters.

|. The conference Of the educational
board of the general council of the
Lutheran church closed its sessions
at Augustana college yesterday. That
great good has come from it was the
consensus of opinion among the edu-
Gators in attendance. A strong ten
dency is In evidence for the unifying
of the educational work among the
various Lutheran bodies in this coun-
try.
The conference closed with a dis
cussion of revision of the courses
in the theological seminaries. Among
the new recommendations mentioned
yesterday was the addition of strong
course in public speaking. At the con-
clusion of the discussion a motion was
passed providing for a conference of
the faculties of all the seminaries of
the church sometime during the COM
ing year, with view to making def
nate recommendation to the general
council This conference will meet at
Philadelphia at the invitation of Dean
Henry Jacobs of the Mount Airy SEM
mary of that city. The educational
board holds its meeting annually and
the next place of meeting has not as
yet been decided upon.

I of the Grand Army 1t Is the duty Of
its members to tighten, as only WON
en- can, in every way possible the
duties imposed upon the post by its
organization. We build in the honor
of the comrades, monuments of mar.
BILE and granite, which the elements
will in time disintegrate and return to
the earth whence they came. They
have built for themselves a monu.
ment and consecrated it, some with
the health and vigor of their young
manhood, others with their life's
blood. This monument, IL the fer
vent desire of every true lover of his
country be realized, shall be as en-.
during as the everlasting hills, and 1t
is this great, free, glorious, united
country of ours; which, but for their
sacrifice would not be. Man is pow.
erless to stay the destructive forces
of nature, but he need not be power
less to counterfeit those of man. And
to do this shall be one of the duties of
the Woman's Relief corps. by endeav-
oring to keep alive a spirit OF patriot
ism and reverence for the flag with
all IL stands for and all IL has cost TO
keep IL intact; by arousing In the
minds OF the rising generations, for
they are the ones on whom the task
of carrying on the government will
devolve, desire to elevate rather than
lower the ideals by which their ac-
lions are governed: by working hand
In hand with that organization of
patriotic men. the Memorial Day as
ISOLATION. who have taken upon them
selves the duty of perpetuating the
observance of Memorial day. to the
end that the memory of the defenders
Of the union may be kept alive in the
hearts of the people. and the service
they rendered not forgotten. nor have
been rendered in vain. So long as
there are patriotic women enough in
the land TO organize and conduct
corps. so long will the Woman's Relief

long and varied programme at Bech-

one in which slight tendency to over
statement IS a venial one-one might

singer never failed 10 carry conviction

variety Of his tone. and the remark
