Governor Peay of Tennessee can doubtless be awarded honorable mention, if not a prize, for his recent action, a not worthy bit of gubernatorial casuistry. Explaining in a statement to the Tennessee Legislature yesterday why he signed a bill to prohibit the teaching of evolution in the schools of the state, he linked an appeal for return to the old fashioned in the Bible with a citation of "one's right to worship according to the dictates of his conscience...
That a man whose experience in world affairs has been as wide as Clemenceau's should deliberately decide not to mention in his volumes the political events in which he figured seems unfair. What ever abstract conclusions he may set down, the breath of life goes out of them when they are not definitely connected with human events. Men study the writings of great figures in history chiefly to gain the man's opinion of the events in which he figured, not to be regaled by philosophical abstractions.

This I know is not the case--in either case this matter would seem not to be within the jurisdiction of a "musical critic." It would seem that he draws his conclusion from the absurd caption "unskilled instrumentalists cannot rival professionals"--a statement the fallacy of which in connection with the Pierian Orchestra, made up of students, would at once be apparent to even an "adenoidial moron." Furthermore, were the Pierian Sodality...
