Teach the Children to Sing.

We are opposed to fads in the public
schools. but.an so-called Especial studies" are
not ''fads." Singing is not ''fad" if properly
taught. The children Of the people should be
taught to sing the songs of the nation. The
instruction in singing in the public schools
should not be abolished, but radically re-
formed and improved. The three RS nc

The vote, which was one Of the heaviest
ever polled in the city, shows decided
Republican gain The Democracy carried
the city by 10000 in the last presidential
election, and in the county election last
month several of the Democratic candi-
dates had majorities OF 1000 i'm the city
which were only overcome by the Repub

when the police were not at hand.
The Republican city central committee
has decided to contest the electionof Hop

turns on which the above figures are
based show 500 more for Hopkins than
were actually cast. II is claimed by the
committee than an honest official count
will give the election to Swift.
