AS HEAD OF
v. AND |.

LEXINGTON, Va, Dec. 80
After 49 years as cU11ege teacher
and university head, DR.. Henry
Louis Smith, president of Wash
ington and Lee University here,
closed his office door today for
the last time. His resignation,
rendered in October, 1928, but
deferred at the trustees request
until the close of this calendar
year, becomes effective tonight.
Tomorrow he win leave with
his family for Greensboro, N. c.,
he explains with an eager gleam
in his eyes, ito begin at the age
of 10 a full-time business career
and to serve education as lecturer
and writer less fettered than one
must inevitably be as head Of an
institution"
This note of plainness, this
quality of character, struck a
visitor yesterday as he listened
to DR.. Smith answer his ques-
tions about half a century of
teaching.
DR.. Smith, small of stature,
white-haired, almost electric with
energy and enthusiasm, looked
steadily across his desk:
Thought Most Useful
II have stayed in teaching "
he said, because / believed it to
be the most useful way / could
serve. Now 1t means / shall have
to manage my orchards in North
Carolina; l shall have to sell
what l write. But I should make
the same decisions again."
DR. Smith came to WASHINGTON
and Lee as president in 1912. He
was SO years old, had been presi-
dent OF Davidson College in North
Carolina for IL years, had won a
national reputation as physicist
and pioneer in work with the
Roentgen ray and as an eloquent
speaker.

discovery that the X-ray would
pass though the sides of the
Crookes tube and blacken a photo
graphic plate.

After Christmas" DR.. Smith
recalled, Il told my students about
the discovery We all were ire
mendously stirred. Then I saw

DR.. Roentgen had used. Then ]
was positively excited, for in my
labortory I had exactly the same
kind of tubes he had used-oyal

Horses have been in the IL iamna district for many years and if the natives over there never saw one until a few weeks ago when the Geological Survey went through with some IS of them, they. must be blind or "cock-eyed," according to To- cal resident who wishes to bust yesterdays story galley-west.
 Back in 1919 a Geological Sur vey party entered that district with eight horse, it was stated, and remained at Iliamna for two days; that fall the horses were sold there and even then two horses were owned by the people living there Last fall two horses were sent to Iliamna from here, which incident has since been re- called.
 But even before 1919, many years before, when railroad con- struction started heading for Nome, horse trails were all ab- out the country.

A CHILDEN'S MATINEE CONCERT.
At this time, when the world is find-
ing each day new possibilities as to the
capacity of children for grasping de.
tails as well as essentials long before
many of their elders would believe them
ready, the art of music, along with the
other arts and sciences, IS revising Its
previous state of rather careless con-
descension toward children. The day
of the too childish or colorless program
for children is past. 1t is significant
that many composers have written and
are writing music especially for chill
dren, and this music is quite as clever
If not so emotionally deep as the music
written for adult audiences. The lead
ing orchestras are giving special edu-
cational programs for children and,
through toy symphonies. children them
selves are encouraged to participate.
