Or. Henry Louis Smith, president of
Washington e. Lee university, deliver
ed the principal address of the morn
ing. The Confederate veterans repre-
sent the heroic age of the South. said
DR. Smith, when the crucible of war
refined the gold Of the South's charac-
ter and took out the dross.
Tn the things of the spirit" he
said. the South was probably richer
in IS amid the gloom of defeat than
she is today in the sunshine of pros
perity. The question of greatest i'm
portance before the South today Is
whether the children of the new era
will retain the virtues that made the
old South great in the day OF adver-
sity.
The Confederate veterans were
organized to perpetuate the memoir
les ideals and traditionss of the old
South. This great work can be
done through books and magazines,
but these are replaced by a never
ending flood OF new books new wars
and new heroes. The memories of
the South can also be perpetuated
through monuments of bronze and
marble. but these are local in their
influence appeal to the heart hut
not the head. and to later genera
tons becomes mere works of art
The third and best method of
perpetuating these principles and
ideals is through institutions. This
was the method adopted by the Saw
Tor when he organized the Christian
church. which today is His living
presence. perpetuating his principles
and duplicating His work with every
generation and destined to continue
it to the end of time.
General Lee chose this method
OF utilizing and perpetuating his
own personal influence Having no
money, he gave himself to the insti-
tuition which Washington had endow-
ed. He rebuilt and developed it,
saturated 1t with his spirit, and be-
queathed to it his sacred dust and
his imperishable name This insti-
tuition, therefore, is the living work
ing presence of the great command
er himself. and is continually per-
petuating his influence by bringing
generations of young men under the
influences of his character and send

Captain Snead is seventy eight years

RED CROSS WORK
AT MCPHERSON

A city of two thousand invalids,
men shattered in mind and shattered
in body, some broken by bullets
some by disease and some, most pitt
full of all, the victims of insanity
produced by the hardships through
which they have gone; but all win
ming back to health and strength un-
der the best treatment modern
science can give-such is General
Hospital Number Six at Fort Nc
Pherson, one of the largest institu-
lions of its kind in the country.
Hehe on the outskirts Of Atlanta,
within easy trolly ride of the city
and only ten minutes, by automobile
from it's most central point, may be
found every clement of a modern
and most improved hospital service
from both a medical and surgical
point of view. And here, too, may be
found one of the most fertile fields
of Red Cross endeavor
The Convalescent House erected
soon after the Fort began to be used
as a hospital has been in constant
use for many months; Red Cross re-
representatives. have been in active
service here at all times and all
hours; every recreational feature in
The full Red Cross program been
followed and the educational value
10 the men TO the Red Cross influ-
ence cannot be over-estimated While
the government provides all the ac-
tual necessities of life for the men
in hospital the comforts which to the
sick are almost necessities are pro
vided by the Red Cross, and those
who serve as dispensers of these com
forts stand as friends and comrades
to almost every man in the hospital.
A striking evidence of the value of
Red Cross service is shown by the
fact that the rigid discipline which
oh ara steries all military hospitals
is so far relaxed at For Mcpherson
as to Permit the Red Cross workers
to serve all classes of patients, even
t'ose confined in the wards devoted
to the care and treatment Of mental
detectives.
Perhaps one Of the most difficult
problems presented to the Rec
Cross is the method of approaching
these patients and impress1ng them
with the kindly spirit OF helpfulness
felt toward them by the Red Cross
That this has surely been accomplish
ed is seen by the fact that each week
he Red Cross workers receive a bas
ket of fresh garden vegetables and q
bucket of delicious honey which the
patients in the psychiatric wards
, have cultivated themselves. Bee cul
ture and gardening have been one Of
the remedial agencies used to keel
these patients occupied and inter
ested. and the season is now so fal
advanced that they can see the re
suits of their labors. results which
they are eager to share with the Rec
| Cross workers.
