PAPERS ON MUSIC.
An Interesting Branch Of the Esdu-
catf0naI work.

catfOM1f w Ork.
The afternoon session Of the music
section of the Minnesota Educational
association was not largely attended,
out those who were present were treat
ed to some interesting papers, one of
which was Illustrated with songs by a
sWeet-yoiced young woman. The
Song Element in Public School Music"
was the subject of paper by Miss
caroline V. Smith, director of music
IN the Winona State Normal school.
The paper was brief but pithy and
the various points made by it were
Illustrated by means of songs by
MISS Barbara Russell. Of La Crosse, a
graduate Of the Winona school. In
part the paper said:
The song element is essentially the culture
eiement IN music 1t represents attainment,
sion OF the best there is in the human heart
IL a love and taste for good music be in
sp1red, 1t matters little whether children have
acquired knowledge of music. That which
Is beautiful in music will furnish child with
unlimited possibilities late in life." Compar-
Ing national with foreign music and lament
ing the lack OF national melodies and topics
IN the songs that are mostly found in the
public schools the paper continues: There
Is but little hope for national music until the
American composer finds his way into the
heart OF the American people through the
school room. This would exclude composers
of other lands, but the American genius and
spirit ought also to find a home in our
schools. Text for the songs can be found in
cur flowers, birds and trees. There is no
reason why child in the primer class should
be singing hunting songs"
report ON the condition OF music in the
public schools Of the state then made
by A. w. Rankin, state supervisor He
showed, by means of statistics, that there
was increased interest in the school on
this important subject. and that. where the
musical interest was greatest. the general
excellence of the schools was highest.
The concluding paper of the day was fur
nished by Miss Eta NJ. Grannin, of Roches-
ter .Voice Culture in Connection With
of today are laying the foundation of our
future musicians. Proper training saves
children's voices, the. most important thing
to BE- thought Of with little ones. Correct
breathing, proper management of the muscles
of the throat, and the placing Of the tone
should be taught. Where music is not taught
the voices of the children will be found
loud and harsh. Soft singing Is as necessary
as distinct articulation, and the correct meth
cd of teaching should begin In the kinder
garten, and the work now done IN the primary
department to undo the mischief begun in the
kindergarten will not be necessary. The
question of sight singing should not be con-
sidered until the children had learned to
sing properly.
Discussion Of the topics was general and
evoked lively interest

might be worthy of two such prizes,

Second, counts upon the present IN
dependent position Of the Second as a
large factor in the promotion of his
campaign for the same position, and
Robert Deakin, Of the Fourth district,
argues that his service and personal

Little Enjoyment Winds Up the
Days Work

The instructors in attendance at the
session Of the Educational association
were given a reception at the Windsor

a really interesting card Of musical
and literary numbers in the big dining
room afterward.
A quartette of Minneapolis ladies
sang, as did Misses Alice Monfort and
Rita Searles, the latter from Saltwater.
j. G. Myron was also down for a
vocal number. Mrs. Condo Hamlin
captured the audience by her skillful
treatment Of Kipling's ''Tomlinson, and
for a merfted encore gave g. pretty
bit by Browning setting forth that a
wife who saves her husband by the use
Of tact should be given due credit. The

planned by THE bill was to be paid
for in warrants to be issued by the
commission and which are to be a lien

value of such warrants the report saws;
1T was demonstrated that in order to
make such variants that would sell
TO advantage, or at all, the state must
first be vested with the legal title of the
land, and that the conspltutionality of
house bill 50 must be first be passed up
on and determined by the supreme
court of the state of Montana And
this commission has the honor to re-
port that the honorable secretary of the
