BANK CLEAR|HGS ARE
STILL MAKING GOOD
Showing for the Past Week Has
Been an Excellent
One.

The showing of bank clearings for the
local financial institutions has been ex-
cellent during the past week, although
not up to the increase exhibited over
the corresponding days of year ago,
which has appeared during the past few
weeks. This is said to be due In con
siderable measure TO the small totals
during the early part OF the year 1908
and the great increase appeared during
the months of Nav Of that year, when
general business had begun to assume
a normal condition.
The bank clearing totals for Satur
day. MAY 10, were $S76,310.97. as com
pared with total of $Tl6,S5S.Sl for
the corresponding day of a year ago,
thus showing an increase of Sl59,-
1918, or more than 22 per cent. The
total for the week ending May Is was
50, ,l09. $1,000. as compared with total
of 4,43S, ,466.iS for the corresponding
week of 1908, thus showing an increase
of 8 .67 .0S36l, or an excess of 30 per
cent over the total for the correspond
ing week of last year
The percentage OF increase is thus
but little behind that Of the past few
weeks, and the slight falling of IS due
10 the small increase IN percentage for
the last two days of the week. which
was unusually small. 4 comparison of
the total for the days of the past week
and the comparative totals for The cor
responding days of 1908 arc interesting
and appear as follows:

The impersonation OF the College

has kindly supplied this department
with few brief notes as to the real
purpose of teaching music in the pub

1t has come to be generally accepted
that the real purpose of teaching music
in the public schools is, first, to develop
an appreciation and love- for good
music second, to develop the emotional
nature and aesthetic sense by the in
depreciation of good music; third, to
teach the language Of music. for read

plished in one way only, that is by get
ting all the children to sing and by
making the singing musical, even to
the point Of artistic excellence.

the elements needed for proper instruc-

English comedian: "Once on a time
had mad desire to produce Shaw's
play of You Never Can Tell l wrote
to Shaw and asked his permission. He
answered that he would come and
read 1t to me. He did and began by
saying that sometimes he thought II
was the best play that ever was writ,
ten and at others he considered 1t the
greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of
opinion that it was pretty poor play
and that If produced it-well, must
take the consequences. Some time
afterward / asked Shaw IL / could
compress the last act. He declined to
allow one line to be altered or cut out.
In view of certain contingencies had
at last to tell him that I couldn't pro-
duce the play. His answer was:
Thank you so much! You have taken
great load off my mind Now, what
are you to do with man like that ?"-
