LOS ANGELES SCHOOLS
GIVEN HIGH PRAISE
MUSICAL EDUCATION HERE is
WELL TO THE FRONT
Instructor in the University of Wis
consn Visiting Here Compliments
the Progress Shown In His Partic-
ular Line

Herman E. owen, head of the school
of methods in public school music of
the University of Wisconsin, is in Los
Angeles, and has been investigating
methods of teaching music in the city
schools
He says that Los Angeles is abreast
of the times in every department of
musical education and that California
is the one of two states in the Union
in which music is compulsory study
In the public schools.
1T is only within the last two years
that music has been given anything like
the attention IL should have been in
the Schools" said Mr.. Owen.
Educators generally are beginning
to find out that music has some value
besides being an entertainment. 1t is
no longer looked upon as a luxury, but
1t is considered a very necessary part
of the school courses.
II visited the University of Southern
California, and from Prof. Skeele and
Douglas Walker, l learned that much
attention is being paid to that branch.
Regular credits are being allowed for
work done in music and two years age
no credits were given. At Occidental
college, too. much attention is being
paid to music.
"The Los Angeles high school is one
or the foremost IN the musical work.
and / was much interested to learn OF
the orchestra. and choral societies. The
growth in the interest In music In high
schools Is even more recent than in the
grammar schools, and Los Angeles Is
we'll TO the front.
Though the Improvement has beer
rapid there Is still room for growth, and
1t will take years before educators along
musical lines really perfect their plans
Mr.. owen Is also director OF the or
chestra and choral societies of the Uni
versity OF wisconsin and he Is pronii-
nent In musical circles OF Madison.

ALL THE WORLD TO ME-

l love you-'tis the simplest way
The thing ! feel to tell;
Yet If told 1t all the day.
You'd never guess how Well;
You are my comfort and my light
My very life you seem;
1 think of you all day--all night
IT'S but of you l dream.
There's pleasure In the highest word
That you can speak to me;
My soul is like the Aeolian chord,
And vibrates still to thee.
l never read the love-song yet,
So thrilling fond or true.
But in my own heart / have met
Some kinder thought for YOU
I bless the shadows on your face,
The light upon your hair
l like for hours to sit ana trace
The passing changes, there;
1 love to hear your voices tone,
Although you should not say
single word to dream upon,
When that has died away.
oh! you are kindly as the beam
That warns where'er II plays,
And you are gentle asqa dream
OF happy future days
And you are strong to do the right,
And swift the wrong to flee
And IL you were not half so bright
You're all the world to me,

Trade Belongs to America
"The trade of that country really be-
longs to America; they have many
things we need and we have great
numbers of manufactured articles that
they either must get of us or from Eu-
ropean countries.
ut doesn't look very enterprisine
for Americans to allow European
countries to supply our sister repubIic.
when they are thousands of miles
away and we are their next door
neighbors. Here we saw great steam-
ers casting anchor In the port of Ma
zatlan which have come all the wav
from Hamburg and BremerhaVen and
other European ports, 1900 miles
around Cape Horn, when a great city
like Los Angeles, rich, powerful and
rapidly growing, does not have a
steamer touch at her ports 10 supply
this trade.
II wish could impress onthe busi-
ness interests of Los AngeleI the ex-
traordinary richness of this t'ade field
down In Mexico. I firmly believe that
If Los Angeles merchants, wholesalers
and manufacturers would 10 right

town In a position to aspir{ to the
million mark In population within a
reasonable time. That whole Mexican
west coast country is teeming With all

others engineers and railroa con-
structors on the new railroadswhich

state of Sinaloa.
Il came back very, very faorably
