VISITS ANNA
SCHOOLS AND GIVES TEACHERS
ADVICE IN PRACTICAL RE-
SUITS OF WORK IN
CAIRO.

The following is taken from the An
ma Democrat.
On Monday afternoon Mrs. Miller.
supervisor Of music in the Cairo pub
lie schools, addressed the teachers on
the practical results of her work in
that city dur fg the past nine years
Having spent the whole day visiting
the various schools with Mrs. Shap-
pard she was very sanguine in her
belief that many good singers VII
develop in the Anna schools. She nc
ticed many fine voices and commend
ed the Willingness OF all Of the pupils
for trying. She indicates many ways
In which the regular teacher should
assist the special teacher in carrying
out her plans. Since the value Of all
school work depends upon the foImda-
ton laid in the primary grades, the
primary teachers will need 20 possess
greater SIX II than those in the higher
grades. All win have TO understand
the subject brt do not need to sing
Remember that the ear Is the thing
to be trained Start with pitch pipe,
practice the scale The special teach
or will usit each room three times a
week and The regular teacher will
continue the practice the remaining
two DAYS.
Mrs. Miller has ranked the students
of the high school according 20 their
credits. Helen Crane, Los, Leonard.
Annie McLafferty. May Orr and Eva
Roberts are regular seniors Unfor-
tunately some who have been chasing
themselves as seniors do not have the
requisite credits and will remain ju-
niors until they make up back work
High school diplomas can never mean
anything till students are required to
work 20 complete the work The boy
who enthuses OVER foot ball and for
gets his school duties is not worthy
OF the name Of student. Loafng about

By parents. These hab Is consume a
young mans opportunities for success
In life.
Several times this week tobacco
was taken from half grown boys who
confess that they smoke secretly
When asked where they get the to-
taeco they say they buy il OF reput-
able dealers whom they name. Per-
haps the dealers DO not realize thar
