SCHOOL BOARD ACTS ON
GERMAN STUDY QUESTION.

The Lancaster school board at it's
meeting two weeks ago authorized the
dropping Of German as study in the
nigh school. The faculty was in
structed to take immediate steps dis
carding this study.
Later it was found that dropping
the study would interfere with the
credits of those taking it so far this
year. AS a result the Junior class
has continued in the study of Ger
man and will do so until school clos
les.
French and Spanish have been

REQUIEM FOR SOLDIER

The Cathedral was packed. Only
soldiers in uniforms were admitted to
the main part of the church. But the
side aisles we're packed with women
in deepest mourning. The Bishop of
NJ officiated in purple, and there
was a grand choir, and not less than
twenty priests assisted. In the mid
die of the church was a coffin raised
high above the heads of the worship
pers, covered with huge French
flag Around it were burning twenty
side The music and service were in
describably grand, but what impressed
me most was the crowd Of French
soldiers.
Wrecks of war they were, ban
daged heads, missing arms or legs,
clad just as they came from the
trenches, with the yellow marks of
mustard gas soiling the horizon blue
of the coats and trousers. That's the
new gas the Germans are using which
burns the bodies horribly and leaves
mustard stains on even the clothing
it touches. There were war crosses,
military medals and Legion of Honor
decorations galore. 1t was a misty
cold morning and the smell of iodo-
form and wet uniforms, smelling of
the trenches, almost drowned the in
cense of the service. But the smell,
was that of heroes and did not mind
it.
81 stopped to think that in this
same Cathedral the flesh and blood
from which these soldiers are fash
Toned also assembled to do honor to
the dead who died with Napoleon
Bonaparte. These same stones saw
and heard the prayers for victory and
the chants for those who followed
Joan of. Arc. Here is where King
Henry of Navarro prayed for his sue
cess, and his dead, and it was an old
church then. The dead and gone
heroes of France seemed to crowd the
new heroes very closely.

Lord Glenconner has presented Dry

Lionel Earle, permanent secretary to

Il write to offer for the acceptance
of the nation as free gift Dryburgh

is accepted the custody and preser-
walton of this ancient and noble build
ing will be in safe and loving hands

the gift, replied

cept your splendid and generous gift
of Dryburgh Abbey. Such a gift, at

FAMOUS SCOTCH ABBEY

miles southeast of Melrose, Scotland.
1t was founded about 1850 by Hugo
de Morville, Constable of Scotland,
who brought community from Ain
wick in Northumberland. The situa-
ton, says Dom Hunter-Blair in de-
scr1ption of the place, is beautiful, a
wooded promontory, around three
sides of which sweeps the river
Tweed The church was dedicated to
the Blessed Virgin. The monastery
was burnt to the ground by Edward
IL, who encamped on the ground when
retreating from Scotland in 1922; but
1t was restored under Robert l, who
himself contributed largely. At the
Dissolution it was created temporal
lordship and conferred by James vi
on the Earl of Mar, who made it over
to his third son, ancestor of the Earl
OF Buchan At the beginning of the
eighteenth century the Abbey lands
belonged to Thomas Halliburton,
great-grandfather of Sir Walter Scott,
but they were soon sold and only the
right to be buried there was left to
the inheritance of the novelist.
The general style of the existing
remains of Dryburgh is Early Eng
llsh, with some older (Norman) work.
OF the church only the western gable,
the ends of the transept, and part of
the choir remain; but considerable
portions of the conventual buildings
have been preserved. James Stuart,
of the Darnley family, is buried under
the high altar, and various members
OF the Buchan family lie in one of the
chapels. The principal object to visi-
tors is the tomb of Sir Walter Scott
in st. Mary's aisle (part of the north
transept). His wife and sons are also
inferred there.

The Observation-Disclosures church,
erected at Camp Upton, l.. l., was
formally opened on Sunday. The

Father Lawrence Bracken Acting
Chaplain Of the Depot Brigade, read
from the sacred Scriptures; prayer
was offered by the Rev. DR.. William

ton address was by the Rev. DR.. John

were read by Lieutenant James M.
Howard, Chaplain of the 304th Field
Artillery, andothe benediction was pro-
nounced by Rabbi N. Blechman, repre-
senting the Jewish Board for Welfare
Work. The Y M. G. A. was repre-
sented by Herman Eldredge, it's relig
ious director.
General Johnson, the divisional COM
mander, who delivered the address,
said that such church was possible
only as an outgrowth of war, when
an upheaval unified religious thoughts.

this division" said the General
