INSTALLATION BY N. B. A.
Is A PLEASANT AFFAIR
Addresses are Made by Well Known
Speakers and Program OF Sing
ing, Dining and Dancing En-
joyed by Big Gathering.

The installation Of the recently cleo
ted officers of the Superior Lodge of
the Modern Brotherhood of America
held last evening at the Rouleau hall
was one of the most delightful social
occasions ever enjoyed by the MEM
bers of the lodge and their friends
The ceremonies of installation were
very interesting and were in accord.
ance with the ritual OF the NJ. b. A.
Deputy grand president c. o. Olivier
had charge of the ceremony, and was
assisted by deputy grand conductors
Chris Zimmerman. A feature OF the
occasion not on the program and en-
tirely unexpected by the lodge was
the presence last evening OF Peter
Kramer of Marquette, the district
deputy of Mod rn Brotherhood for
the upper peninsula, who is spending
some time in the copper country on
official business. Mr.. Kramer's visit
last evening was entirely unofficial
and unexpected, but he was made
welcome and given a cordial fraternal
greeting. He was asked TO address
the gathering and complied by making
few remarks.
Charles O. Olivier acted as toast
master at the concert that followed
the installation and the program as
hitherto published was carried out.
Addresses on Fraternal societies and
their merits and purposes were made
| by Frank w. James, Dr. ]. T.. Scallor
and DR.. p. Scholler. Fred G. Bennett
sang, "A Stein Song" very effectively
and was heartily encored, responding
by rendering a sentimental ballad. C.
o. Olivier gave tenor solo. my Mer-
cedes," in splendid voice and was also
given an encore. Mrs. NJ. Bree played
the accompaniment for Mr.. BENEFITS
lection and Mrs. C. o. olivier for
that of Mr.. Olivier.
The Maennerchor of Hancock gave
some very delightful chorus numbers
and Surbeck's orchestra furnished a
program of music during the supper
and also for dancing after the conclu-
sion of the installation program and
supper.
Deputy state president, G.. o. Olivier
states that the work was performed
in the most satisfactory manner and
that he never has seen it done bet
ter. He also desired to thank on be-
half of the lodge the musicians, sing
ers. speakers and all who took part
in the exercises for their service and
for the pleasure given by their par
ticipation.
Superior lodge is growing rapidly
and now has a membership of about
one hundred and fifty members. Dis

voted TO music teaching, this being
distributed over periods OF Is min
utes daily. In this manner the pupils
are given liberal amount of train
ing I'm the course OF a year. Ii is not
enough that they are familiar with
the theory; they are taught to read
music at sight just as readily as they
would read lesson from any other
book, and when Prof. Collum or one
of the teachers places an exercise on
the blackboard every pupil in the room
is expected and required to be able
to read or sing it correctly without a
moments hesitation. This rule ap-
plies from the first grade up through
the eighth. and Is rigidly enforced.
The Teachers Teach.
Contrary to general belief, the public
school teacher is also the instructor In
music. Prof. COLON is supervisor in
deed as well as title. He plans the
courses, and the grade teachers carry
them out II is his duty to visit these
schools regularly, to strengthen the
system wherever necessary, to en-
courage, to see that results are forth
coming. but he lays no claim to be-
ing the actual instructor, giving all
credit in this respect to the teachers.
The futility of one man attempting
to personally instruct the hundreds of
children in the public schools Is ap-
parent at a glance.
All Qualified
What proportion of teachers are
qualified to instruct in music?" was
asked Prof. COLON.
Ninety mine per cent" was the
prompt reply. 1T is a mistaken idea
that one must be a thoroughly pro-
ficient musician in order to be able
to teach. The supervisor must know
every detail, must be in a position to
carry any part But any person who
can teach mathematics, we will say
and hears correctly is capable of teach
ing music. In fact, II is often the case
that the teacher who sings little makes
the best instructor.
What about the argument so fire.
quently advanced that many children
never can learn to sing?"
THAT is another mistake. No less
than ninety per cent. OF the children
who enter the public schools are able
to sing naturally. The rest soon learn
The ability to sing is a God given gift
and there is no more reason why even
the slightest talent in this direction
should be neglected than that other
educational work should be sighted
Like art, music helps one to appreciate
to enjoy, the beautiful things i'm life
That is one of the points we strive to
emphasize. Whether we succeed or
not must be judged by results"
And after observing the interest ia
ken in the work by pupils and noting
the really surprising results achieved
the least observant must be forced to
admit that it is well worth while.

Mr. c. H. Van Voorhees,; Genl Agent
for Union Central Life ms. Co., Grand
Forks, N D.,-Dear Sir: We desire to
thank the Union Central Life Insur-
ance GO. and yourself in particular,
for the prompt settlement of the poll
cies in your company on the life of the
late Gebriel T. Christianson, our hus-
band and brother, and for the courtesy
shown us, which we assure you Is
deeply appreciated.
Mr.. Christianson held three policies
in your company under which we were
benefciaries,-policy No. 286SSS for
$4,000, which was dated Dec. 16, 1904,
and on which had been paid but six
annual premiums; policy No. 21S491
and No. 21s492, for $1,000 each. You
will notice that ON the larger policy
he had paid but six annual premiums
and on this you paid us not only the
amount Of the policy, but $4,000 in
accumulated dividend additions as
well.
Your treatment of US has been of
the very best, in fact your company
was the first of the many companies
in which Mt Christianson was insur-
ed, to make settlement with us. Proof
of death was mailed to your home Of
nee Feb. 16, 1910, and today we have
the proceeds of the policies at your
hands personally.
Assuring you that we very much
appreciate your personal attention to
this matter and that we will be pleas
ed at any time to answer inquiries
which you may refer to US, we are,
Very Respectfully,
