Music is a Branch
Of Education

that has been considered to much in the
light of mere accomplishment. The
ability to play or sing from the mere
technical and superficial standpoint,
without the real understanding of the
of the music performed. is all that is
sought in too many instances. Few
children have ever taken up the study
of music seriously and thoroughly
enough to acquire any real understand
ing of it and in almost all cases, the
study of il is put off until the child Is
pretty well along towards, or in his
teens 1t has been found that the child
of the kindergarten age is just as re-
ceptiye TO the teaching of mucic as it
is 10 that of other branches OF educa-
ton, with the result that music is by
far the most uplifting and productive
of genuine awakening. WAYS and
means of presenting the study Of music
on a plane that the young child can not
only grasp but on which it can find
wholesome enjoyment, are being de
vised, and on lines that mean contin-
uous and solid growth

A PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN WEEKLY

In a speech delivered near tn,
close of the Vermont campaign Re-
preventative +. J. Hill, of Connect
cut pointed out some of the rank
iniustices which would result in his
state from an attempt to apply Mr..
Bryan's communistic compulsory
guarantee theory. In Connecticut
there are 50 national banks, ! state
banks q. trust companies and 81
savings banks, with total deposits OF
1912, S3S, OBI. Practically all banks
would be drawn under the federal
aegis by the proposed Bryan guar
antee scheme, for those outside it
could not meet the competition of
those inside, advertising federal
guarantee to all depositors. If an
assessment of 1-S of l percent were
to be levied on the Connecticut
banks, the state would have to nav
into the federal fund s42S.5l7 y
year, $500, 465 of it coming from
the savings banks, which have no
stockholders, and being, therefore.
