FALLING LEAVES

People Of imaginative temper al
ways find melancholy reflections in
the falling Of the leaves in autumn.
1t carries to them a suggestion Of
decay and death, and seems to incite
one to SOLDERING thoughts Of the end
Of earthly life.
Yet the philosopher can reply, that
the falling Of the leaf is as painless
and natural as the sinking of the body
into slumber. Every bit of the sub
stance of each leaf still exists just
the same. After mingling with the
earth, it again rises and enters into
the composition of some useful plant,
and lives its life over again in some
other form.
People who are less sensitive to i'm
pressions, do not find the falling of
the leaves melancholy. They see that
the tree is stripping itself for the con-
flict with winter winds and cold, a
period during which 1t will lay in
reserves of strength, and get ready
for the growth Of another year. 1t is
the rest stage that always precedes
another period of advance, ~

BIBLE THE BEST GUIDE

More and more it is realized that the Bible is
the only book in the world which can be applied
to all classes, all conditions and all times.
Written and compiled thousands of years ago.
when the world was in its infancy, and when
humanity was CROPPING its way out of the dark
ness into the light, its wonderful images its in
spring stories and its uplifting spirituality make
it as valuable an agent Of civilization and as
powerful a factor in the uplift of humanity as
ever it was.
In fact, the Bible is found to be the best known
guide for social progress, for political construc-
ton, and for industrial peace.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY

Miss Leila May Smith. who is in charge of oral English of the Junior Dramatic league. Central High school, organized by her, has gained an enviable reputa7 ton through her work among the young in culture and leadership. Two or three years ago Mrs. Julia Truitt Bishop. so well known as 8, writer in the maga- zine and newspaper world said of her, in the New Orleans Picayune; "One of the most promising young writers of the south is Miss Leila May Smith, now of Hattiesburg, Miss. Miss Smith is the author of several admirable pageants, notably, The Childhood of Hiawatha. which combines the charm of the wild wood with the daintiest and most deli- cate poetic grace. Her Riley pageant. also, is a delightful bit of just such tender humor as the children's poet would have loved. Still another pageant, setting forth the negro dialect of Mis- sissippi, was to have been featured at the Mississippi centennial but the cele- bration was set aside because of the war.
 Miss Smith has shown a great talent for selecting the actors and giving the dramatic training they required, so that they have not failed to catch the spirit of the writer and to reach the hearts of the audience with their work
 It must be added that she is not only talented as writer, but her speclai genius lies in the field of dramatics, as a trainer and leader. This work among girls has been recognized in Mississippi, especially where she had full charge of the entertainment at Red Cross head quarters at Camp Shelby throughout the war. Afterwards she was made director Of club work among girls at Racine, Wis, where she had under her direction almost 1000 girls. She has since been appointed to national community ser vice along the same lines.
