INTERSCnOLASTIC MEET
At BRUNSWICK TODAY,

Brunswick, Me, May 22.-(SpeciaD.
The Bowdoin interscholastc meet.
which will take place upon Whittier
field tomorrow, promises to be the most
interesting which has been held here
for several years.
There is to be change in the prizes
this year. A cup is to be awarded to
the school winning the meet and
pennant is to be given to the High
school scoring the most points. In past
years there has been only one prize
and this has generally been won by one
of the large academies which for many
reasons usually have better track
teams than the High schools On ac-
count of this state of affairs many Of
the High schools of the State which
might have sent teams to Bowdoin
have not done so. Seventeen schools
and academies have entered with a
total of nearly 200 competitors.
OF the academies, which have enter
ed, Hebron will probably have the
strongest team as it has had in the
past three or four years. Portland
High school, however. has very

schools entered are:

Harbor High. Biddeford High, Deering
High, Edward Little High, Hallowell

IN THE MUSICAL WORLD
By MARIA DE VAN HURLEY.

pr. Robert Goldbeck, the wel-known composer pianist. teacher and author. died in St. Louis May 16 Dr. Goldbecl was born in Potsdam, Prussia, in 1880. but had been a resident of this country for the past 30 years. His first musical training was under his uncle, Louis Koh- Ter. in Brunswick. and later with H. Li- toff in Paris.
 He came to New York in 1857 and later established conservatories in Boston. New York, Chicago and St. Louis.
 At the age of IA Goldbeck was present. ed to the King of Prussia, who was very much prepossessed with the ambition of this young musician, and commanded that concert should at once be ar ranged. in which Goldbeck would appear and be heard for a purpose unknown to any but his majesty. Godbeck's success was so great on this occasion that the king presented him with a grand piano and official papers making him exempt from service in the army this being con- sidered quite an unusual honor.
 The king then commissioned Meyer beer to further examine the talent of young Goldbeck. This Meyerbeer did with the result that Goldbeck was sent to Paris for further musical training, where he remained four years, during which time he met and knew Berlioz, Halevey, Au, Der and Alexander Dumas, at whose home he frequently partook of meals pre- pared by Dumas himself, as he, like the great composer, Rossini, was a most ex- cellent culinary artist.
 Goldbecks compositions include works for orchestra,- an opera, Saratoga" (which however, was never staged). two piano concertas. and number of pieces for piano,
 He very frequently conducted the or chestral performances of his works In 1889 Theodore Thomas granted him this same orchestra, in Anr,, ,,nder inc direc ton of Frederic sie,ck, successor to Theodore Thomas endered Goldbeck's

sociation of Alabama High Schools. The college men have agreed by resolution to gradually rise to the national 14-unit standard The high schools have agreed to demand the seven-year elementary grades for matriculation, and have urged that these and the. four years in high school be required of the colleges.
 It has been shown conclusively, say the school men, that preparatory courses at the colleges are worth little. Many years ago, before the University of Mississippi discontinued it's preparatory department, 1t was shown that of 1S0 who entered 1t only six went through to graduation. Of these two were sons of professors who lived on the campus. This is tho history of all such enterprises and the college men are said to be demanding that they have only those qualified to enter
 Raising Standards.
 It is a matter of great interest that a number of the denominatiOnal schools ara making the same demands. The educa- ton board of the Methodist church has said that it's colleges must be colleges and not high schools, or else be reduced to high school grade. The same thing is so of the Baptist colleges and tht Presbyterian. The only two schools of this class in this state that have not agreed to fully cooperate in this move- ment is that at Spring Hill and St. Ber- nard's, near Spring Hill. These, how ever, offer their entire sympathy.
 The organization of the high schools Is being extended to departments to better work out the several needs. There will be eight-history, science, English, Latin, modern language, mathematics and in- dustrlal art. The English department has already been formed, having A mem- bers from among teachers in the high schools. Miss Frances Higgins, of Sel- ma, is chairman, and Miss Sara Luther, of Troy. secretery. Others are to fol low quickly.
 After the high schools the common schools will be fully organized by depart ments in order that there may he line of sympathy not only between the sev- eral schools. but the teachers of the sew

per, there are now 16 American singers already under engagement. These condi- tions are met with very strong protest, the native musicians being most resent full at so many American artists being appointed in preference to those of their own country.
 It is reported that number of Italy's' millionaires, including a prominent pub fisher, are planning to raise a fund of $2000.O00 to induce Italian opera singers, who have had such splendid offers In England and America. to remain at home.
 This Is, verify, case of the prophet" but may the time be not far distant when America will be more loyal to her own artists. who are now being so sought in foreign fields and may they yet be most honored In their own country.

eral branches. In other words, it Is hoped to have the educational system 80 well worked up that the whole forces will have a line of feeling from the baby roll to the graduate at the very top
 This organization has grown out of the determination to get the very best re- suits from the recent appropriation for schools, and especially the high schools It is hoped to weed out the tapping, so that high schools will have no element ary work to do and colleges none that secondary institutions should take care of. It is recognized, of course, that this Is going to take long time and bring about lot of hard work, but there are none but believe that in the end it will not be the most effective. the most eco nomical and the most progressive.
 Work of Doster.
 Prof. J. J. Doster. professor of second ary education in the State university, Is given the task largely of working out this problem and he Is meeting with marked success. He has been in confer ence for the past several days with lead ing school men of the state in prepara- ton of a course of study for the new high schools and is in the city for the purpose of going over the plans with Su- perintendent of Education IT. z. Gunnels While the department is not under ob- 1igation to take the plans, 1t Is pretty certain that 1t will do so as they are pronounced excellent by men and women who have made such things study.
 Prof. Doster thinks that the work that has been done in the effort to secure better articulation of the school system of the state is bound to bear rich fruit The state is spending a lot of money at this time on its schools" he said land 1t Is only just that it be used to the best advantage Tapping is not only bad for the educational programme as a whole. but very expensive. When each school mas It's own work and does 1t there will be maximum of service at the minimum Of cost. Then we will be able to show that schools are, like all other good busi- less, best run with thorough system"
