The story appeared in the February 8 edition of Family Heeklv, a syndicated feature magazine included in many Sunday ne\'lspapers.

Conant went to Springfield to paint Lincoln in September, 1860, two months before his election to the presidency."t-ihen the artist tvas ushered into his office, Lincoln was talking with a small group of men--and he was smiling. {.Jhen he sat for the portrait, however, he assumed hi::; characteristically sober expression. All thnt first day, Conant pleaded in vain; the smile did not return . . . "The next day Conant started by asking Lincoln questions about himself; before . long Abe tvas talldng of his early life, his storekeeping experience, his flatboat trips to New Orleans, how he became a lawyer.Uis itm1ediate tvorries forgotten, Lincoln again revealed the expression the artist wanted. 11 That uas the way he looked when hie friends Here about him, his wife said. "I hope he lool<s that way after the fir s t of November." Shurtleff College purchased the portrait from the artist in the 1860's.

BECAUSE TilEY Hi\HT TO SING (The fo llouin~ editorial appeared in the February 25 issue of the Alton Evening Te ler;raph.) There are some things you like to see get grmvin:.; pains. The Alton Community Chorus suffered the malady at its first rehearsal lionday night. This group got a start, Hith an overcrmvded rehearse1l hall, that promiscsbright things for its future. The Choir Directors' and Organist f: ' Guild sponsored "Hessiah" earlier under Herrold Headley, Hho is organizing the Community Chorus, also demonstrated to the public the excellence of the neu group's leadership. Alton has needed a community chorus which has this sort of activity in mind, and which \vill not be satisfied to make it secondary to other choral activity. Only with this approach can such a group suc-cessfully negotiate the myriad choral masterpieces uhich lie open and challenging. Dr. Headley apparently struck the right note Hhen he invited folks to enter the group because they wanted to join together and sin~ fine music. \ GLYNN ADDRESSES UPPER ALTON COUNCIL .

"The only truly great novel to come out of post-revolutionary Russia significantly appears first in translation, without the approval of the Ru?sian Communist Pa,rty censorship," according to the publisher, Pantheon. "But this sensational aspect should not obscure the fact that Doctor Zhivago is above all a stupendously rich and moving book." Even if they have read the book, members and gues~s of the club are sure to enjoy Mrs. Eversull's revieH and the opportunity of discussing it with others.

PONDER THESE QUESTIONS *Greeting his pupils, the Master asked: "What \vould you learn of me?" And the reply came: "How How How How How For shall \·Je care for our bodies ? shall \ve rear our children? shall we •wrk together? shall \ve 1ive with our fellowmen? shall \ve play? what ends shall we live?" And the teacher pondered these words, and a deep sorrow was in his heart, for his own learning touched not these things. ~·:chapman, James C. and Counts, George S., Principles of Education. Houghton-Mifflin Co.; Cambridge, Mass., 1924, p. 645. ****************** Robert Steinkellner further asks: How shall \ve live within ourselves? How shall \ve learn to work by ourselves? How shall \ve know "truth"? How shall we judge that which is of value? How shall \ve, the children, find the courage to judge and to challenge accepted traditions and test them for their truth? How shall vJe know God? How shall \ve learn to strive totally to do our best work according to our abilities so that we may find pride in a job well done? How, in the final analysis, shall we evaluate our lives? What is the purpose of living and of dying?

A lecture given last November by ALFRED KUENZLI, associate professor of psychology (A), at the Unitarian Church in Alton appears in the current issue of Unity magazine. It concerns the Dewey centennial. In introducing EDWIN B. WARREN's recent publication, The Masses of Robert Fayrfax (1464-1521), Armen Carapetyan, general editor of The American Institute of Musicology, has written: "Fayrfax may safely be regarded as one of the great figures, though least known, of English music. He is an important link between Dunstable and the later Tudor composers. His works as such are of immense interest and worth." None of Fayrfax's music was printed during his lifetime and practically none has been published since. Therefore, his music has been almost entirely inaccessible and unknown, along with most of the English music from about 1450 to 1525.

EDITS MARCH FABLES The University of Alabama Press has just released a book edited by DEAN WILLIAM T. GOING, ~9 fables by William March, author of The Bad Seed. The delightful illustrations are by Richard Brough, a member of the art faculty at the University of Alabama. Introduction to the book was written also by Mr. Going. At the time of March's death, the longest manuscript still in his possession was a collection of fables which he had completed for the first time in 1938. March culled and rewrote, polished and revised, always finding them "too good to destroy," yet never finding them a good venture for a commercial publisher. Now, posthumously, the collectio.n appears in this book and readers can enjoy the fabulous world of William March. The fables "are an immediate delight and everyone will find many favorites among the 99. But in the end, March's view of the world is a hard one,and the morals, however charmingly expressed, are bitter enough to rival the themes of his novels. As a matter of fact, it is an echo of the theme of his novels that the 99 fables take on a special significance, according to the editor. He says they form a sort of writer's notebook of ideas. "They will be read less for clues to March's philosophy �- 7 - than because the individual stories are superb, the themes meaningful, and the cumulative effect powerful." Dean Going was on the faculty of the Department of English; at the University of Alabama before joining the SIU staff. tative plans call for Dr. Bunche to speak at 3:00p.m. at the Alton High School, with a reception at the YWCA immediately following. Dr. Bunche is especially well-known for solving the Arab-Jew crisis in the Holy Land shortly after World War II. He and his wife will stay with re l atives living in Alton.

He spoke to the Rotarians of the foresi ght and efforts of the civi c leaders of the area in helping to establish centers of higher e~uc a tion in Al t on and East St. Louis, and he cited these enrollment figures: SIU 1s up 30 per cent this Fall, and -- according to available figures -- is the f a stest-growing university in the country. Educational experts had predicted an enrollment of 7,250 for SIU this year; 8,100 next year; and 9,000 by 1960. It is a lready past the.estimate for next year. Enrollment now totals 8,3000 -- 6,500 in Carbondale, 1,200 1n Alton, and 600 in East St. Louis. (Men outnumber \vomen 2 to 1.)

Professor Alonzo Myers of New York University, who predicted in an educational survey of the area this Spring that there would be an enrollment , qf~ $.0Q.._the first year if centers were established in Alton and East St. Louis, also predicted that the number of freshmen each year would rise to about 2,000 in 1962 (if facilities for accommodating this number could be made available), and to about 2,700 entering freshmen in 1967. This would indicate an undergraduate enrollment of about 6,000 students in 1962 and about 9,000 in 1967. Dr. Baber told the AAUW that the Alton Residence Center is offering a strong liberal arts program for some 650 freshmen, and a basic framework of required courses for sophomores, juniors, and seniors -- together with enough electives to meet their requirements. He said that by ne x t Fall the center will be offering most of the courses offered on the Carbondale campus at both the freshman and sophomore levels, and an expanded offering at the junior and senior levels for majors in English, math, history, government, s ociology, chemistry, physics, biology, music, speech, economics, secretari a l science, business management, education, physical education, and a few others. How many students will the present campus accommodate ? Baber said that by careful scheduling from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m. the center can take care of 800-900 day students.
