1t needs no argument to convince intel

teaching children the simple rudiments

be found a better place for this m

its Importance when they gave it place

why it is not compulsory in oregon is
that so many teachers say, oh, | can

INA Others of equal prominence who are

washbuxer in writing upon this sub
ject in the oregonian recently stated
among other things: For music, the
course OF study calls only for some
simple note reading and vocal drills
TO cultivate and develop the organs OF
speech. The value of good voice can
not be over estimated. Our future cit
izens must converse and transact husi-
ness with each other and the power OF
a rich, sweet voice in reading or speak

from our own personal experience that

THE AsToRrAN PUBLISHING CO.,
TEACH THE CHILDREN TO SING

Following is the address of G. A.
Russell of Hammond. Ore, before the
annual Clatsop County Teachers insti-
tute at its opening session held yester-
day. on the subject of Music in the
schools:
Music is quite largely product of
civilization. The greater the advance
ment of any people in the arts and
sciences, the greater will be the ad-
sancement in music. both vocal and
instrumental. They appear to go hand
in hand. Therefore, the intellectual
and morai~condition OF any nation can
be determined by the grade and char
acter Of its songs. But the music OF
a people is not only the result Of their
condition; but by the law of reflex
action, it, to a great extent, deter
mines their future condition. Indeed,
one writer has said, and we think truth
fully, Allow me to select the popular
songs for any nation and / will insure
their future destiny
Almost all children love music. We
feel inclined to agree with Shakes
peare when he said: He that hath nc
music in his soul and is not moved by
concord of sweet sounds is fit for treas
on, stratagems and spoils.' There is
developed in the mind Of the average
child a natural desire for music, and
this. by the law of supply and demand
Is partially met by the songs which
he learns from the tender lullabies tc
the coarser songs of his questionable
associations of later years. How much
better it would be If the public school
would supply this demand. in the form
of school songs of real musical worth
and pure and wholesome sentiment
eThe songs which we learn in our child
hood and the sentiments which they
express remain with us through life
and leave their impression on the soul
Our experience in school work has been
that where children are taught suf-
feient number of school songs Of un-
questionable merit, we have failed tc
observe that tendency and desire tc
learn songs of a questionable nature
as well as those that are positively
harmful. Fill the mind with good and
there will not be much room for evi
in it.
The American Primary Teacher
eorroborates this sentiment in the fol
lowing quotation: No school in tht
country has a moral right to allow &
day to pass without a good, wideawak'
song. The influence is worth 10 time!
the loss of time for other study
Now, leaving for a few minutes th'
subject of moral value of singing il
the schools, let us consider its socia
value. Did you ever stop for momen
and think what an important place mu
sic occupies in almost every avenue o
life? 1t is one of the important feat
ures in the family circle and drawing
room, in the church and Sabbath schoo
and in almost all public entertain
ments. The sweetest music on earti

space above the joists may be filled
with straw or leaves or hay, to pre-
vent freezing in the cellar The plates,
which are secured at the top of the
studding, may be placed somewhat

solid double doors. so that entrance

An object-lesson road built under
the supervision of the United States
department Of agriculture has been
completed at Morgantown, W. Va
This being the first work of the kind
done in the state. it's completion was
celebrated by the holding of a good
roads convention. There was good
attendance of representative citizens
from all parts of the state, addresses
were delivered By number of prom
inent men. and it is believed that sub
stantial progress toward general i'm
provement of the highways has been
made. Perhaps the most significant
feature of the conventions work was
the unanimity and enthusiasm with
which it Endorsed both national and
state aid.

trembling with rapture. ooh, papa,

papa dear, we must not be selfish.
You must meet these splendid men
who have worked SO earnestly for
your rescue"
"So you do not take all the credit

"Not particle of it," exclaimed
Helen. "All 1 did was to hope and

Mr.. Carmody. ITO whom are we in

here is Mr.. Chalmers! How do you

you for this reunion with my dear

he shook hands cordially with the
