The Coming of Sergeant York.

Sergeant York 10 q hero, but It il not lauda-
.tion he is after In coming to Rock Island next
Monday evening to tell his story. What he asks
is financial aid for the school he proposes to
found in the Tennessee mountains from whence
he came and where, despite his exploits and
the manner in which he has been lionized, the
interests which are nearest his heart still lie.
Everybody has heard the story Of Sergeant
York. how he killed single handed 20 Ger
mans and captured almost without assistance
120 prisoners and brought them into the Amer
lean lines. The exploit will 60 down in Amer
ican annals with other feats Of individual valor
which add the human interest touch to keep
school children digging at their histories and
to inspire them with desire to also become
heroes. The Alvin York we shall see Monday
will survive in song and story long after most
o: the big men Of thu age have been forgotten.
York's claim to greatness will be based not
alone upon his extraordinary skill, GOODNESS
and marvellous judgment in the emergency of
his life, but upon the manner in which he re-
fused to be turned aside from the simple habits
Of living and the lofty purposes Of his youth by
the sudden opportunities for gain that have
opened before him. The combtnations OF traits
he has shown is rare. indeed. *
Pail Mall. in Fentress county, Tennessee;
where York was reared, has had no school for
two years. This fact decided his course in
proposing to establish one by the proceeds of
his personal popularity. 1t was that fact which
determined York to forego his desire to settle
down on his farm with the bride whom he
married on his return home, and go out into
the world to seek for others the money that
he turned down for himself
The school, though, will be designed to
serve more than Pail Mall and Fentress county.
1t will have living quarters for boys and girls,
where they may come and have rooms and
where they may cook the corn meal and bacon
that they bring from home. II they Wish. There
will be farm where the boys may work and
learn agriculture, and a shop where they may
learn trades. York himself, besides being a
farmer and an elder in the church and dough-
boy Of parts, is a blacksmith. There will be a
home and garden where the girls may learn
the art Of homemaking.
The plan is educationally sound, and It will
be administered by board Of trustees who will
see that the maximum dollars worth of good
for the school will be gotten from every dollar
that is subscribed They are looking upon II
not only as truly worthy monument to a
great soldier, a living monument of service
but also as q possible opportunity for Great
