MONTEVALLO ALUMNAE
 aECRETARY APPOINTED

For the first time the Montevallo Alumnae association Is to have a regular executive secretary who will stay at the college. The office was created at the July meeting of the executive board, being only part time, thus enabling girl to per form her duties as secretary and pursue her college course at the same time.
 The original idea was to secure the services of some former student now eligible to the alurnnae association who desired to return to her alma mater and work for a degree. No one being found under these condi tions, high school graduate has been employed.
 s Miss Nell Rrowder, daughter of Hr. J. w. Browder. superintendent of education in Cherokee county, will act as the alumnae executive secre- tary for the coming year. Miss Browder Is a girl of great capabili- ties, having assisted her father in his office for several years, and also being one of the leading members of her class, graduating with high hon. ors the past May. This summer she has been a student at Jacksonville normal, taking the junior high school teachers course and typewritinE, ThW alumnae association may safely trust its welfare in her hands.
 Miss Browder will register as a student at Montevallo the tenth and will take up her duties as Secretary the fifteenth.

Mr. Kraft's Recital This Afternoon
 For Public

The organ recital to be given Sun day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the Church of the Advent by Edwin Arthur Kraft, the eminent organist and choirmaster of Trinity cathedral, Cleveland, is entirely free to the pub lie and Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen, director of the Birmingham Conserva- tory of Music, who Is presenting Mir. Kraft, invites the public most cor dially to be present.
 Mrs. Gussen considers herself very fortunate in having the splendid CO., operation of the Church of the Ad- vent for Mir Kraft's recital this aft ernoon, the beautiful organ there be- ing generously lent for the occasion, showing a public spirit in the mat ter of elevating educational music which is far reaching in it's effect.
 MT Kraft is not only a player of dazzling technical equipm ent. ex- tremely facile in manual changes and registrations, but of unusual tenn his tastes, does not disdain the mel ody and rhythm lover, but acknow- ledges some kindred sympathy and thinks the gospel of musicjs not go- ing to be obtained in heavy sporlfie doses, but with the aid of relishes ana flavors. He Is adaptable, sensitive keen to impressions-the kind of or
  ent and future-qualified to teach the ear and the imagination. Though strange to the organ, Mir. Kraft con trived such an acquaintance in hls practice, from the individual stops and without the easy short cut Of pistons, 9 consideration that visit ing organists have always shown us We may also be grateful for the ab- sence of the smother of merely "or- gan 1iteraflre."
 MT. Kraft's program this afternoon will be as follows:
 Marche Triumphale, Alfred Hoi- lins.
 Minuet, Mozart
 Londonderry Air, arranged by Sanders.
 Ouverture to "Tannhause." Rich ard Wagner.
 En Mer C"By the Sea"), Augusta Holmes. Translated for organ by E.

We some times think that our puny efforts do not move harmony, and do not ac- complish results that we desire: but constant practice. even in small way, will grow to proportions and make a realization of Rotary ethics throughout the world.
 This statement that l am about to make, may not be entirely approv. ed by you. but Rotary International is something far greater than Rotary itself; it is therefore the highest degree of Rotary. for it confers the consciousness of being citizen of the world. with the vision far greater than we ordinarily have when we confine cur activity to our own com munity and club life; that is only a part of the building of this tremen. dous idea of Rotary Internationay."
