Public school vi asfc.

of the National Educational Asso-
citation DR.. Stanley Hall, DR.. Harris,
and Col. Parker, were unanimous
that music Is the most impor-
portant study in the whole school
course. These well-knoWn educa-
tors recognized that there are ele-
ments lacking In the makeup OF
our modern people. They know
that the average boy OF to-day
thinks only of preparing himself
to be successful bread winner,
that he thinks more of what be
can do than Of what he Is. They
do not urge that music will enable
him to earn larger salary, but
that il will arouse and increase his
sympathies, that it will aid Won
derfully in the development OF his
higher and nobler qualities, and
will, therefore, make him a more
worthy and more useful citizen.
Through the study of music one
of the first requisites for sue
cessful school work is secured,
namely, unity of action. This uni
ty of action is as nearly perfect as
we can expect, since it Is secured
through the child's love OF the
means. The child, through his at
tempts to keep in harmony with
| the tune and the rhythm OF the
music, unconsciously acquires hab-
It's of promptness, obedience, and
attention. For this reason alone
| music has high educational val
ne and deserves an important
place i'm our educational system.
Physically, singing is an excel
lent exercise; it demands an ex-
panded chest and deep, regular
breathing, the results OF which is
stronger lungs, better circulation,
and healthier bodies. It is said
| that In Germany, where the study
of vocal music Is universal, lung
diseases are comparatively I'M
known. Singing cultlvates the
child's powers OF enunciation, and
| causes him to articulate more dis
tinctly, thus making his speech
and song more agreeable to the ear
Mentally, the study of music
quickens ones perceptive faculties
and develops ones power OF con-
centration. TO learn to read music
correctly requires the ability to
make accurate judgments and a
memory capable of retaining small
details; for to sing few measures
of the simplest music demands
that correct judgments be made as
to pitch, length, force, and quality
OF the notes sung. TO do all these
things promptly requires an active
memory. Finally, the study o.
music gives the child the ability
to read intelligently, at sight, al
easy musical compositions. Even
if the child is without special mus
!. ical ability, he will gain from ths
; study OF the elementary principles
, of music the power to do some
: thing. He will have the expe
rience of being active along detin
tie line.
Morally, music puts the child il
harmony with his surroundings; i
causes him to be generous, patrio
! tic, and sympathetic; it makes hin
a lover Of what is good, beautiful
just, and right. Good music tend
to raise him uneonsciously to
; higher plane of thought and emo
tiou; it brings to the surface tn
= best in his nature; it helps to driv
away from his heart all pnkin'
feelings. for, truly, pure song an
hatred are never found together.

PROPHET AT THE INsTrTUT DE FRANCE
Paris letter to The London Standard.
The grand annual meeting of the Five Acade
mics held yesterday at the Institut de
France. Among eloquent and learned papers
which were read entitled Science and
Poetry" by NJ. Jansen, the astronomer the
delegate of the Academy of Sciences NJ. Jansen
began by remarking that the two words repre-
sent the two greatest manifestations of human
genius. Are they destined. he asks, to be for
ever separated by an abyss? After seeking the
origins of science in the civilizations of India,
Egypt Greece and Rome, and recalling the
names of the great geniuses of humanity. the
learned director of the Meudon Observatory
went on to say that the whole universe, in it's
ma jesty and grandeur, has become the intel
lectual domain of man. He added:
Il desire to say that science not only admits
of poetry, but that the poetry of the future the
sublime poetry par excellence. will be inspired
by science. Yes, it is science which contains
the poetry Of the future. My wish, therefore, is
to urge our young poets to seize that infinite
narrow domain called the world to seize the
heavens and the universe.
IF the contemplation of our sorry little do
main has already given birth to so many beauti-
full inspira tiOns, what will it be when the whole
universe, with its laws and harmOnies, are
offered to inspire us? Everywhere poetry will
be TRANSFORMED ought to say, TRANSPORTED.
The human mind is not below those high deS-
tinieS for il is of divine eSSenCe-that is to say,
capacious of all those grandeurs."

Today's Attractions.

The coming attraction for this Thurs
day afternoon and evening at the opera
house will be the Wills Bros. company,
presenting SIN Atlantic City" OF COM
edians, singers and dancers the company
for this season is one of the few, once
seen, can never be forgotten. Everything
is new in regard to people, wardrobe and
scenery, and promises to leave an i'm
preston; more so than the general run
of musical farce comedies. The music
arranged for I'm Atlantic City, is pull !:
lshed by the leading music houses of
the United States and Canada, and as
the Wills Bros. have the choice of all Il g
up-to- date music you can rest assured
tlat it will be away from all the o d
styles, and has been carefully selected
by the musical genius, Howard Webster.
Some of the songs are as follows: Peace
Forever" composed by Sousa. Tell
Me, Pretty Ladies' written by John
Stromberg, of Weber & Fields, New
York. MY Blushing Rose, one of the
sweetest southern melodies, written
especially for this company. Other negro
songs in conjunction will indeed remind
one of the pleasant plantation territory.

Yale Colors Flying.

The Bonheur club passed very enjoy
able social evening Tuesday. Thirty
eight sat down to the tables in the dining
room of Hotel Windham. The supper
was provided by those members of the
club who had pinned their faith to Har-
ward in the football game at New Haven
last Saturday. The room was literally
decorated with Yale flags and one lone
Harvard flag was noticed. The first,
thing on the evenings program was a
yell for Yale to which the Harvard con-
tingent responded very feebly indeed.
A. II. Hunt acted as postmaster and
called on various members of the club
for remarks, there being no set order for
toasts. The club was the recipient of
box of cigars from J. e. Brosnahan, who
felt little grateful because the banquet
at his request was postponed from Mon
day until Tuesday evening so as not to
interfere with his attraction at the opera
house. 1t is needless to say that the
cigars were good ones and were enjoyed
by the members.
After the banquet several of the mem
bers repaired to the club room and passed
an hour or two at cards and vocal delec-
tation. The club has recently rented
the room in the rear of their present
quarters and will convert it into pool
room, taking possession December /.
This gives the club the whole south side
of the upper story in the Gray block.
