of liquor into "dry" communities or

licenses to sell liquor where local licenses
are not grapted.

HOT FIGHT EXPECTED.
On the Election Of Mayor In Rutland
This Year.

Rutland, Jan. lS.-Local politics, es-
pecially those surrounding mayoralty
situation, are fast becoming the talk OF
the town and before next March Rutland
viii have fight on ita hands that bids
fair to be one Of the warmest In many
years. There are thus far two candi-
dates for the Office Of mayor, Frank n.
Blanchard and George c. Underhill A
large number of voters in the city, some
OF them influential men, say that there
win be another in the fight shortly.
This man may be the present mayor,
Henry O. Carpenter. Although Mr.. Car
penter has stated that he will not be a
candidate for reelection, ii is under
stood that petition will be placed in
circulation within week asking him
To run again. 1t IL not improbable that
the Democrats will also put up a can
didate.
That the campaign in favor Of Mr..
Blanchard is on in full blast is evident,
Buttons bearing his picture are being
circulated and not infrequently are there
being held pink tea parties" or as they
are sometimes known, bedroom rallies. I"
The majority of these are taking place
at the home Of Mr. Blanchard's lieuten-
ant, John N. Tuttle This shows that
the fight is to be made from the Scale
Works.

To START NEW COURSE.
Miss Gladys Gale to Introduce Child
Garden System in Music.

The Child Garden course it to be
taught in this city by Miss Gladys n.
Gale, who has Just returned from Bos-
ton, where she has taken the normal
course for teachers, with Miss NJ A..
Jones. Miss Gale will open her class
January 10, in this city at her home on
80 Wellington street.
The Child-Garden course is a simple
method Of interesting young children in
music and preparing them for serious
study.
The subject Of kindergarten has never
been sufficiently applied to music, but
the place 1t now occupies establishes it
as recognized branch Of advanced edu-
cation. The progressively wise mother
is not dead to her child's needs, but it
looking to its development as being a
great step toward the higher culture Of
future generations.
The Child-Garden music course stimu-
lates mental moral and will growth in
the child, without undue forcing.
The aims are: to create self activity,
to study tone, to develop the listening
faculty, to make children familiar with
music, to develop rhythm, to teach them
all musical signs and thus to read music,
to train the hands, to awaken interest
in the lives Of the great composers, to
enable children to form scales and simple
chords, TO give g knowledge of the piano
forte keyboard and elementary playing.
The lessons are fully illustrated by
stories and games and the small child
is made to enjoy instead Of having an
actual distaste for music.
