Most often, only a good op-

pressure, exerted over a long
period. that causes the blindness
Doctors have methods to relieve
the pressure and thus prevent
blindness.

your eye pressure, make an APP

Joseph Richard Rancourt. di-
rector of music at the st. Peters
Catholic Church, is a devoted
and talented musician who for
the past several years has been
trying to develop the modest
vocal resources of his church
and establish good ecclesiastical
music in his parish. He has been
wise enough to lean heavily upon
Gregorian chant. those tunes of
impeccable orthodoxy, unsur-
passed expressiveness. and a
sturdiness and simplicity that
enable them to maintain their
dignity no matter what text
they are sung to.
Most Of the music heard last
night in the church was Gre
gorian chant. and even the music
that was not was largely the
simplest kind Of monophonic
tunes. Indeed, the mass Of Dom
Gregory Murray seemed to pare
music down to its scantest es-
sentials and then to discard even
the essentials.

purity. The girls choir. under

Dedication of the new Wood
row Wilson tomb, now approach
ing completion in Washing
ton Cathedral. has been set for
November IL, with Bernard M.
Baruch as speaker.
The date is Armistice Day Of
World War I. now designated
Veterans Day. The completion
of the tomb and its dedication
fall in the Tooth anniversary year
of the World War I Presidents
birth.
The selection of Mr.. Baruch
was made by Mrs. Wilson. the
Presidents widow. 1t was APP
proved by Bishop Angus Dun and
others of the Cathedral.
Mr.. Baruch, a Jew, was a
friend and adviser of Mr.. Wilson.
Concerning his selection as
speaker, the Very Rev. Francis
B. Sayre, jr., dean of the Cathe-
oral and Mr.. Wilson's grandson,
said:
Sees Wide Heritage
1--WE think of the Cathedral as
embodying the wider religious
heritage of the whole Nation. BY
having a Jewish speaker honor
a Presbyterian President at an
Episcopal cathedral. the unity
behind the division is stressed. :"
When the construction work
is finished, the coffin containing
the body of the President and
the facing part of the cenotaph
in the Bethlehem Chapel will be
removed to the new sarcophagus.
This will be in the memorial
which will occupy bay of the
nave which is now being built
westward from the present struc-
ture.
The body has lain in a vault
beneath the Bethlehem Chapel
floor since the Presidents death
in February. 1924. Nearby in the
chapel is the cenotaph which
has been the center of Wilson
memorial obServances.
$4,000 Has Been Raised
To finance the new tomb and
memorial bay about $4,000 of
the needed $150,000 has been
raised through contributions
from friends of the President,
Dean Sayre said. The dean has
shared in the planning of the
memorial.

cipal knows my wife is right, but
feels she has been pressed too
hard. She dare not admit that
the teacher is wrong because she
would then have to discipline
her. and probably lacks the pow
er. The important thing is to get
results for our boy. and as long
as I am able to do that. I am
willing to run the errands.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Arthur would be making a
serious blunder to remain silent
in the face of the principals
sharp criticism of his wife.
Silence may be taken for agree
ment. If the principal was un-
wise enough to talk this way to
the husband about his wife, she
may also be foolish enough to
misrepresent the husbands at
titude in conversations with
teachers and other parents.
1t is important that the hus-
band demonstrate his faith in
his wife. 1t is understandable,
in view of the feeling already
generated, that he should not
want his wife to encounter the
principal at this stage. But he
should at least write the prin-
cipal a letter expressing sharp
exception to her comment about
his wife.
1t is extremely wrong for an
educator to- try to prejudice a
husband against his wife, but if
she is guilty of such poor judg-
ment. she is not likely to realize
it unless it is clearly pointed out
to her.

So it is with disease. For
example, you could fill an oper-
ating ampitheater IN few

He said: THE tragedy of it
is that at least half the blind

II haven't been to one in years.
You see, I have no trouble with

Such reasoning is what causes
