THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.
Four Times a Year None Too OFTEN
to Have q Piano Tuned.

-Four Times a Year None Too Often
to Have n Piano Tuned.
"There are plenty Of people," said a
piano tuner, "who let their pianos go
one, two, three years without tuning,
and in some cases pianos thus neglect
ed may not get very, very woefully or,
but piano should be tuned every three
months. That would be none too often
to keep 1t in order.
LAS matter Of fact, piano begins
to get out of tune again at once after
it has been tuned. How could it be
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to be perceptible to any but
the practiced and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner, but it is there. Doesn't a
clock begin to run down as soon as 1t is
wound up? Four times year a piano
ought to be tuned. but only a compara-
lively small percentage Of people give
their pianos that attention which Is
needed to keep them in their most per-
feet loyeliness Of tone. Piano makers
and dealers of course are looking after
the tuning Of their pianos in stock
scrupulously and carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out Of tune In q
piano wareroom. They never let them
get out Of tune there. They aim, IN
fact, at keeping them as near perfec-
ton rs they can.
I'VE are pretty sure to find in every
new piano something pleasing and at
tractiye. Some share at least of this
pleasing quality comes from its being
in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any
piano at its best it must be kept in
tune. and to attain the results most sat
isfactory to all, to the owner and the
neighbors alike, tuning tonic should
be administered to every piano not less
than four times a year."-New York

The Summer School Mt Blackyille.

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:
Please aid Inc in bringing to the attcn-
tion of the teachers of your county, the
summer school for teachers which will
open at Blackville on July 22nd and CON
tinue its work through August 18th. The
principal in charge will be +. l.. Hughes,
superintendent of the graded schools OF
Greenville. He is one OF the best school
men in the State; has had eminent sue
cess in all the county summer schools
that he has conducted, and is doing this
year fine work in the State summer school
at Spartanburg. His course iii geography
includes map drawing and globe making.
The work being turned out by his pupils
astonishes and delights Ill that see 1t.
The subjects taught will be grammar,
geography, and school management.
The attendance upon the school at Bam-
berg and the school at Barnwcll, hereto
fore, has been so small that did not feel
warranted in continuing the expense Of 4
separate school for each county, and have
combined the schools at q central point in
the hope that the attendance there this
year will be at least forty In almost
every other county summer school the at
tendance has ranged from forty to sixty.
Should the attendance be large enough to
warrant it, shall send rs an assistant to
Mr.. Hughes to relieve him Of teaching the
grammar, Mr.. R. K Taylor, who has
lately been chosen to teach in the Black
vile graded school, but if the attendance
is only about thirty, Mr. Hughes will
teach all these three subjects alone.
Drawing is subjec that is attracting
Attn 1y-n h
ers. 1t is quite an advantage in the school
room, as we'll as a delightful accomplish
ment The work in the State school and
in few county schools where have
been able to send drawing teacher, has
proven that anybody can learn to draw,
and especial talent is not q prerequisite.
have determined to have drawing taught
in the school at Blackvillc, although there
are only few counties to which ! can
afford to send drawing teacher. The
teacher will be Mrs. Fanny Moore, of
Barnwell, who as Miss Fanny L. Saun-
derS, has been one of the most successful
teachers of art in the State, in previous
summer schools.
urge all of the teachers Of the two
counties to attend this school, The trus-
tees of the districts should visit the school
and learn who are the progressive teach
ers. l earnestly request of the trustees,
that in employing teacher, they add $40
or S15 to reimburse the teacher for hav-
ing attended the summer school, How
ever, whether or not their expenses are
paid for them, the teachers will find that
attendance upon the summer school is the
best investment they can make for their
professional advancement.

We publish Mr.. McMahan's article IN
reference to the summer school at Black
vile, although there is no good reason
why we should do so. There is no justice
in asking newspapers to give their space
free when all others are paid for their
services. We do not suppose very many
Bamberg teachers will attend the school,
and candidly we see little benefit to be
derived from it anyway. The subjects to
be taught are grammar, geography, and
school mana cement. 1t is hoped every
one who pretends to be a teacher knows
grammar and geography, and it takes
sound common sense to manage school.
