MUSIC In THE SCHOOLS.
CRITICISM OF METHODS OF IN
STRUCTION EMPLOYED.
Children Can Learn to Read Music as
Readily They Learn to Read Words
When the One Is Taught in as Rational
a Manner as the Other.
Practical Suggestions.

Many public schools are giving much
attention to music. Rote-singing, in
vogue for time, has been abandoned
for the scientific method. And there are
singing -superintendents and assistant
singing superintendents, and charts, and
blackboard exercises, and graded sing
ing-books, and compliant force Of
graded teachers. Yet in the face of all
this machinery and talent the leader of
a boys choir says, in the Chicago
Times: Il have had scores and scores
of boys come to me for training-nearly
all boys from the public schools-and in
not one case were they able to read even
simple music at sight.
He believes the root of the trouble to
lie in the fact that the reading of music
is not taught generally and systemati-
cally in primary grades. He declares
that pupils drilled from the first primary
to the grammar grades ought then to be
able to read and sing with ease and
spirit such music as trios from Rossini
and Abt. Furthermore, he says he can
prove that it has been done. He said:
Singing and speaking advance side
by side in childhood. When the educa
tion Of child commences, the reading
Of words and notes should not part COM
pany, and the writing of notes and words
should be allowed to remain compan-
ions, as words and music were before

donated it to religious brotherhood,
by whom the beginning of the great
Cathedral of Cartagena, on the Span
ish main, was made. Here the bell
performed it's mission until Cartagena
was sacked by buccaneers in 1897. In
the division Of spoils the bell fell to a
French ship, the La Rochelle, and
for a time served to call the piratical
crew to duty. Toward the end of
1857 the La Rochelle was wrecked off
the Island Of San Andreas, but the
bell, with a few Of the crew, was
saved. Here the bell remained until
Capt. Elias A. NeWall discovered it's
strange history, and it was by him
procured and presented to the little
church in Haleyville in 1885.
The bell weighs SO pounds and
stands l inches high. Its top diam
eter is inches and the diameter at
the mouth IA inches. It's tone is
very clear and the quality Of the ma
terial superior to that used now.

TO FIGHT THE SMOKE.
Invention of an Apparatus for the Pro

Invention of Apparatus for the Pro-
lection of Firemen.
This might be some sort of ele-
Dhantine freak or new style of div
ing apparatus, but it is neither. 1t
is a safeguard for fremen, and was
invented by W. L. Merryman, vet
Gran member of the Denver depart
ment.
Mr. Merryman has long been inter-
ested in the problem of providing
some device which would enable a
fireman to penetrate the densest
smoke without danger of inhaling it.
The invention which he has just per-
fected will. it is said, accomplish this
result, and is based upon the discov-
cry that. a column Of water four inches
in diameter or less will, when sud-
denly reduced to about one-third that
size at the nozzle, gather with it at
that point large quantities Of air.
Two pipes lead from the air accumu-
lator fastened on the end of the noz-
zle to the rubber mask, completely
enveloping the face. Through the
pipe nearest the end of the nozzle
passes the fresh air gathered from the
water, while from the other passes,
by reason of a vacuum, the exhausted
air from the lungs.
