The Summer School in Brooks.

BROOKS, Me-, July H. The summer
school for teachers has begun. Nicely
dressed, smart looking young school
marms, whose faces are not just familiar,
are about US, and pretty girls in bewitching
summer costumes enliven our streets. We
have just paid short visit to the High
school room, where Madame Deland and
Mrs. Sweetser were presiding. 1t was a
lesson in simple English grammar, and as
we noted the development of the topic and
the clearness and cOnciseness with which
every point was impressed upon the mind
of the pupils we could but think what a
benefit that one lesson was to the bright
young ladies who formed the class. The
citizens of Brooks have taken up this sum-
mer school because they believe it is an op-
portunity for our young people too valuable
to be sighted.

The plant in question was given to Mrs.
Carter's mother, Mrs. Susan Redman, sc
years ago, and has been in the family ever
since. The root from which this one was
taken was brought from England and own
ed by a lady in Castne and was at that time
the only one of its kind in that town. After
the peony in question came into Mrs. Car
ter's possession she divided the root, put
ting one-half on one side of her front yard
walk and the other half on the other. After
some years there were forty blossoms on
each plant one year.

Music forms a part OF the curriculum
OF every well educated woman. and she
IS expected to become proficient on the
stringed instruments and to sing wen.
But among the men musical ability IS
not held in high esteem, owing to the
TACT that It is most prominent among
the wandering minstrels, the trouba-
dours OF Japan. In this will be seen

JAPAN TAKES Up OCCIDENTAL MusIc

A N religion and art Japan holds to her
own, yet she is willing to learn what
1 other people have to offer. Her re-
ligions are extrainsular: much OF
her culture is imported; so 1t is not too
much to expect that occidental art will
be grated on the oriental stem in the
course of years.
Already schools have been estab-
lished TO teach the music OF the West
ern nations. and the teachers report
that the Japanese youth are quick to
learn the technique OF civilized instru-
ments. While the japanese do not give
very warm welcome to Western resi-
dents, they do to Western learning.
Perhaps the day will come when an
other Wagner may appear IN that
quarter of the globe
The first division OF Japanese music
to feel the modification of European
influences was that OF military music.
Doubtless the connecting link was the
drum, which forty years ago was much
more prominent in the military band
than at present, both in Europe and In
this country. The drum CORPS OF the
Civil War days is almost a thing of the
past But the Japanese easily adopted
the military drum, as ii was similar to
instruments of percussion used by all
Asiatic peoples. and the military band
music of civilization came to have a
place in Japanese public ceremonials.
The most prominent division of the
music of the Hermit nation. as it once
was called, is that devoted to religious
purposes. Music is feature or the
worship of the Buddhist and Shinto
temples, where the tonal parts of the
services somewhat resemble those of
the Catholic faith. The chants are inn
pressive, but are conducted with a lib
erty. as to tones entirely unusual in oc-
cidental services.
