TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
A Spirited Debate on Teaching Vocal Music
others Matters.


Miss Julia c.. McSwiney, editor of the Car
roll County Teachers Association, furnishes
the ADVOCATE with the following:
The Carroll County Teachers Association
met in Central Hall, on Friday, 18th inst,
and was called to order at 10 20 a. M, by the
president, Miss Gilliss. Prayer was offered
by Mr.. j. A. Angel. The minutes Of the
August meeting were read and approved.
An essay on vocal music in the public schools
by Mr.. Geo. w. Hess prefaced very ami
mated discussion on that subject. Mr.. Hess 5
paper was concise and interesting, and aimed
to prove the superiority over other studies
of vocal music as an educational agent, which
tends to the development of all the faculties
and gives mental, physical and disciplinary
training to the pupil. At the close Of the es-
say resolution was read requesting the
School Board of Carroll County to adopt
vocal music as part of the curriculum
of our schools. Messrs. Shipley and Upton
opposed the measure most forcibly, Mr.. Hess
advocating its adoption with equal vigor. At
the suggestion of the Examiner a rising vote
was taken which resulted in the rejection oil
the resolution by an overwhelming majority.
Mr. Geo. +. Morelock illustrated his meth
cd of teaching grammatical analysis. One
of his classes, present for the purpose, dia-
grammed a number of sentences in a manner
that showed careful study ON the part of the
pupils and methodical instruction ON that OF
the teacher. This class consisted of Ada
Jerome, Lummie Yingling, George Buck
ingham, Maud Waesche, Maggie Reese, Ed
die Shriver and Eugene Lamotte.
Remarks on the work done by the children
were made by Messrs. Weaver and Upton.
The Examiner made a short address, his
remarks pertaining chiefly to Association
work, term reports, change of books and top
les kindred to school work.
The exercises were pleasantly interspersed
by music, Miss Ida Lockard, pianist. The
attendance was large, nearly all the teachers
being present.
Association adjourned at 1880.

SOMETIME"

This old but lovely song. entitled sometime,
has offered more real comfort in sorrow than any
thing we posses 80 many OF us are an St bund der
painfully about the tasks His gracious nanu mas
laid for US to learn forgetting that we have but 10
hold fast 10 It in the darkness, and in HIS own
time out of the shadows, into the sunlight OF HIS
love we shall be safely led iorth'l
Sometime when all life's lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forever more have set
The things which our weak judgments here have
spurned,
The things Ger which we greYed with lashes
wet,
viii flash before us, out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue
And we shall sec how all Gods plans were right,
And what most seemed reproof tcds lore most true
And we shall see how while we frown to sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me,
How, when we called He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom TO the end could see;
And even as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps is keeping from US now
Lies sweetest things, because it seemeth good
And. if sometimes commingled with life's wine,
We find the NORWOOD and rebel ana shrink,
Because a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our life to drink;
And if some friend we have is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh do not blame the loving Father so.
But wear your sorrow with obedent grace
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friends;
And that sometimes the sable pail of death,
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
If We could push ajar the gates of life
And stand within, and all Gods working see
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key.
Bat not today: Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes ofgold.
And ifthrough patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest
Where we shall clearly know and understand
Think that qce toiR say, God kaolcs the best"

Where the heavenly chorus swell,
Midst the happy we will greet thee
Never more TO say farewell.

musical ana Iiterary En.ersainment.

An attractive musical and literary pro
gram was presented on Friday evening last
at Central Hall, this city, by y number OF
Young ladies' and gentlemen of Westminster
and Western Maryland College. The object
of the entertainment, which was most
worthy one, was to raise money Tor the pur
chase of an organ to be used in the religious
services at the Aims House, which are held
every Sunday afternoon by some OF the
students of the Westminster Theological
seminary Mr. H. A. Depfer, chairman OF
the Aims House Committee, arranged the
program. and to his untiring and faithful ef-
\ forts the success of the evening is largely
due. He was assisted by Misses Anna,
Mollie and Bette Shriver, Miss BERTHE Keen,
| Miss NJ. B. Sheilmau, Miss jamie B. Thomas,
| Mrs. Dr. W. H. White, Miss Carrie =. Rlne-
hart, Mrs o. D. Gilbert, Miss Belle qrn-
dorff and Miss Lillian Erb, and Messrs );
| Strayer. H. e. Nelson and j. Bibb Mills, OF
the college. The use of the school room waa
kindly given by School Examiner Dlnen-
baneb. and valuable assistance in arranging
/ the Stage was rendered by Mr.. s. p. Weaver,
nrincipal of the school. Mr. James NJ.
Shellman served as door keeper and Messrs.
Paul Reese, Harry Keen and Hof, OF West
minister. and N. yea2ey and c. NJ Moore, oil
the College. acted as psheTs. Fhe platform
was tastefulIy draped with portierres, and
decorated with growing palms.
The program included piano solos by
| Miss Anna Shriver and Mrs. White; instra'
mental duet by Mrs. White and Carrie Rine
hart: vocal seioa by Miss BERTHE Keen. Miss
Mollie Shriver and Mr.. Il. A. Depferri vocal
duets by Misses Anna and Bette Shriver and
Messrs. Depfer and Nelson, and a soea
ouartette by Misses Keen and Mollie ShriyeI
and Messrs. Depfer apd Nelson. The recIta
tons of Miss jamie Thomas we're admirable
and elected the highest praise. The program
concluded With an amusing farce, ':Mnrdel
viii Out" in which the characters were al
admirably sustained. The performers were
enthusiastically eneored, and the entertain
ment was pronounced one of the best eyer
given in Westminster. 1t is probable that, II
eompliancs with request from many present
another entertainment will be given at nc
distant date, in which home talent will again
be employed. ,, :.
The work at the Aims House which u
carried on by the students of the theological
Seminary deserves the encouragement ant
aid of the citizens. in order that they maj
make the services OF each Sunday Afternoon
bright and attractive to those whose livei
have been saddened by poverty and disease.
The committee having the work IN hand are
Chairman H. a. Depfer, and Messrs. ID
