afraid of the dark, he ceased to be
afraid Of her. So he flashed his light
impudently in her eyes.

Commemorating the Pilgrims

tablished on this continent the
first self determined government
based on the great principle of just
law and equal application to all,
and thus planted the seeds from
which has sprung the mighty Ma
ton.
In all the outpouring of oratory in
commemoration of the Plymouth ter
centenary will anything be said more
aptly or lucidly defining the country S
debt to the Pilgrim Fathers? 1t is no,
only of the president but the trained
student of American history who
speaks and has the advantage of being
first on the hustings. The Pilgrims
have not recently loomed large in ma
tional affairs. But this is their day and
it may prove to be their generation,
under the stimulus of a new apprecia-
ton and reappraisal of their worth.
The centenary occurs at a psychologist
cal moment in American history, and
the president fittingly sounds the key
note of what may become revival OF
Pilgrim ideals and principles.

The proclamation of the president
suggesting and requesting that Dec
21 be celebrated throughout the coun-
try as the. tercentenary of the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1920 is
tribute to the great service of these
hardy and courageous navigators and
colonists' which it would be difficult
to match in an equally brief number
of words. Extolling the influences
which the ideals and principles of the
Pilgrims with respect to civil liberty
and human rights have had upon the
formation and growth Of our institu-
lions and upon our development and
progress as a Nation, " the president re-
commends special observance of the
day in the universities, colleges and
