THE SKY-PJLOT.

Speaking to an audience gathered in the West side Y M. c. A. yestet- day morning in New York, Lieuten- ant Belvin c. Maynard, better known the flying parson' and winner or the trans continental air derby, an nounced he had rendered his reslgna- ton from the United States Army and upon it's acceptance, would re- turn to the pulpit. His reSlShat1oh probably will be accepted, It IS not known whether the statcm ents re- centlv attributed to Lieutenant Mays hard charging brother avlatOrs with inc too free use of whiskey as an aid to flying had anything to do with the resignation But it is certain theso ori iticisms will so a long way toward making the parsons step acceptable.
 When the preacher pilot does change his uniform for the civilian raiment of a minister of the gospel, the Army will lose a good aviator and the church will gain 'a good preacher.
 Lieutenant Maynard will provo again that mans respected for what he is and what he accomplishes and not for the things he represents. The flying parson' became a hero when he won the air race across the con- tinent He would have become just as much a hero had his trade before entering the air service Seen that of a window washer instead of a minis ter of the gospel. The fact that he was a preacher, did not help him, ma terially at least, to become a good pilot. But what he accomplished over untold difficulties as an air pilot, will help him in every way as a min ister.
 The flying parson,' strange to say, is looked upon now as a sort of mar tyr His martyrdom does not consist in deserting the air for the pulpit, however, but in leaving the pay of a First Lieutenant of Aviation for that of the salary of a minister of the gospel.
 Good luck to this real sky pilot"

 And all the world is full of love and
 happiness and cheer: The little people come and go, the
 windows shine with glee, And somewhere in the world I know
 there's a Santa Claus for me l mingle with the throngs that rush
 and crowd the streets and

 I like the message of their lips that
 tells of Christmas lore; I hear the little folks laugh out at
 every strange surprise, I like to see the Christmas light that
 glows in little eyes. l take my heart down town with me.
 and it may be all sad: But there amid the moving throng it wakens and grows glad: And as I pass it's joy along to others . in the tide, The whole world seems to swim in
 love that Christmas makes so

Edwards had "conducred himself more like presl- dential candidate than as an officer in the army" It is fatal for the success of an army man under this admins tration to prove himself likely, timber for the presidency with a possibility of running on the republican ticket. The fear of that horrible possibility is what led the administration to keep Gen. Wood in the extreme rear. It is nothing that the men Of the 26th di- vision recognized the ability of Gen. Edwards. It is nothing that all New England recognizes the power of the man and resents the small minded

Massachusetts Chief Executive's
 Views of Endowment Campaign
 Issued by Local College Alumnae
 Local members of the Smith college alumnae are showing interest in the campaign for s4,oo0,o0o endowment fund for Smith college, at Northamp- ton, and members of tho campaign committee are calling attention to the statements of Gov. Calvin ,Coo1idse, de last week, in which he urges support for the work. The local or ganization met last week and dis cussed means of assisting in the en- doWment drive.
 The New Britain branch has re- ceived excerpts from Gov. Coolidge's $ address in which he says that if the women of America are to continue the great work started'' by them during the war, they must be SUD- ported along educational lines. He emphasized that Smiths immediate needs are for increased salaries to her teachers and for the establishment of a, complete dormitory system, with other building and equipment needs.
 Taking the salary of an associa- ton professor, $2,40O, as an ple the governor pointed out that it was necessary for him to secure other means of earning money during the past year in order to live, not to mention saving. Such things as this. he said, will undermine education and only through raising such funds can education be safeguarded.

THE COURT OF HONOR.

Beautifully impressive were the exercises conducted by the High School R. O.. T. C. unit at the Court of Honor in Walnut GIill Park last week when the boys reVerently placed Christmas wreaths upon the mem orial pillars erected to the soldiers and sailors who sacrificed their lives in the great war. And beautiful, this Court of Honor with the green wreaths against a background of pure white driven snow, each post standing like a sentinel--all that is tangible of those who have embarked upon the Great Adventure. All of which makes one turn to the oft repeated made permanent. The expense would be considerable should permanent granite shafts be erected in place of the wooden pillars, but the money would be as nothing compared to the aesthetic and sentimental value.' l. would be an asset to the city and q answered the Last Call. If opinions heard can be taken as d criterion, the city, should it sec fit to appropri- ate a sum toward this expense, could surely rely upon popular subscription to swell the total and make this Court of Honor permanent. Tn the min ds m memorial even than the Soldiers Monument that now graces Central Park--a tribute to the rapidly dis appearing legions who marched away 1 in '61.
 1 Several m onths ago il was an-
 nounced that mem orial trees were to ] be set out in the park in a special ! grove and each tree was to have a : plate with the name of the soldier or ! sailor to whom it was dedicated
 thereon-a lrving memorial to the ! honorable dead. These trees have ] been set out, but it was decided that i inasmuch as the trees grow rapidly it
 would be inadvisable to attach the plates for several years, awaiting the ] trees to obtain full growth. Maybe . several years hence, when the terrible
 war is but a passing memory except
 to the comparative few who lost all
 that counted for them, these plates
 will be attached. We hope they will
 but now is the time to start the agi- i tation for permanent memorial while tender memories of all are
 fresh. A permanent Court of Honor
 is what the city wants.
