WOMAN AND MUSIC.

The Tps Are Bound Together In All Up
to Date Education.
If few years ago music had been de-
clared to be as necessary in education
as in mathematics or physics, the state
ment would have been received with
amazement, if not with derision. The
early aim of common school education
was the making of practical men and
women, and by practical" was meant
a preparation for the ordinary bread
winning affairs of life. Not that the
moral side of education was ignored,
but it was believed that the three RS
and the hard and fast sciences, together
with general Endorsement Of religion
and good ethics, were sufficient factors
in character building and all that the
schools should supply. Music, litera-
ture and drawing. if they found any
place in the curriculum, were merely
incidents that were not sufficiently
practicable he requisites, nor was their
more subtle and potent influence on the
character and the higher development
of the mind appreciated or perceived.
Ornamental they might be, but they
were not believed to be useful. Only q
visionary sentimenta]ity considered
these arts as necessary to public educa-
ton. Today art, in a broad sense, occu-
pies far higher place in the regard Of
every educator of note and of every
man who is alive to the interests of
well balanced and symmetrical educa-
ton. In fact, the art influence in edu-
cation is coming to be adequately ap-
preciated, and art is no longer considered
an incident in life, but rather the real
ity itself.
We are not attempting to detract
from the nobility of labor. That educa-
ton which POUNDS industries, which
adds to the comfort Of mankind, which
makes possible the cultivation of the
arts, we must recognize. uphold and adj
mire, but that education which tells
us we are not altogether commercial
machines; that to love something for it's
innate beauty and not for its pecuniary
worth is wise and good; that by loving
harmony of sound we may come to
love harmony of deeds; that tones
which speak to us of others sorrows,
making us forget self. may be Of more
worth in the end than much positive
science-such education we are begin
ming to revere and to SEE in it the most
practical method of developing sweeter
women and nobler men.-Philadelp

made an incisiOn with Ia knife under

that death soon followed. When the

child to health the medicine man de-

man then adopted heroic measures In
order to save the other child. He took

asked questions, but the Indian replied
not word; he didn't even look up. He
sat and gaxed into the water In silence.
