 Altogether too much advertising fails wholly or partially because 1t is not earnestly backed up when the prospective buyer has come into the place of business. The advertiser is too prone to dismiss advice like the above with lofty wave of the hand and devote himself to startling freaks and bizarre announcements, which, if backed up in like style, would make the store and its clerks fine eX- hibit for a museum of business curiOs- ities

Previous to the lst of May. since the levying of the assessment last summer. S96.00 was collected on ac- count of the assessment and during the month of May the collections on account of the assessment amounted to $lS9.OOd During the first three days of June the collections on ac- count of the assessment amounted to S23. 900 That makes the total collec- ton of the assessment to date S30S,
 0O0. on l2S.OOO acres of land.
 Collections are yet to be made on S0.O00 acres Of land, but this includes most of the large holdings in the as sociation. which are sure to be paid before the property goes to sale, and il is expected will return approximate ly S100.O0O more. Many of the smaller holding are also waiting until the last minute. to serve their own convent ence SD it is pretty well assured that only d small acreage Will finally go Jo the delinquent sale, and, as indicated above. that will probably be most of it redeemed with the penalty for de Iinqucncy of De" cent per month.
 It may be Illuminating to some to recite again the facts and dates in connection with the question of de linQuency showing why those who have not vet paid are holding off to the last moment IT is a less danger ous thing perhaps. for the large owner than the small one for this reason. The man who has but a few, acres may. if he waits until the last mn- ute forget his indebtedness and let his land go to sale. when he fully in tended uo pay the assessment and could have done SD in ample time if he had given 1t attention. To the large owner. on the contrary. it is q vital thing to keep in mind. When he does pay he must assemble a very large amount of money and as pay ment is necessary. it is the one big gest thing on his mind He may put 1t off until the last minute. but he never forgets it and is shaping his af- fairs to that end, for if he goes to sale it is expensive and clouds the title to a large acreage. Moreover. if he has to borrow money in a large amount the saving of a few weeks in terest is an object that sometimes in spires him to play to a close margin
 May 31 was the last day. or, rath- CT. the day the assessment became finally due. However. the advertising about the 1st of July, and the sale subsequently and the penalty of per cent per month is not applied until

 After the customer has answered your advertisement and appears at your store, your real advertising, be 1t good or bad, begins to work; because that real advertising consists, in the first place, of the atmosphere of your establishment, the mental or psychic atmosphere of your store, for uncOn- sciOusly we express through our en- virOnment, which we ourselves create, our own character and integrity.

TEACHING MUSIC TO CHILDREN
What Is Being Done in Some English
 Schools.

LOndon-In no branch of education have there been greater or more need ed changes than in the teaching of music to young children. In past years a SO-called musical education for the average child consisted almost entirely of learning to play one in strument If a child showed special aptitude. the study of harmony might perhaps be added at a later stage, as an extra or finishing subject. Sight reading. if not utterly neglected. was practiced in highly uninteligent way. and transporting from one key to another was regarded as an impos- sibility to any one but a genius. As a result of this system. or lack of system, plenty of performers were pro duced. but rarely musician.
 Now. however. the important fact is being more and more realized that all intelligent playing and singing should have as a basis a sure knowledge of the simple facts of musical theory. It is found that by training the ear at an early age children can quite easily be taught to sing at sight in any key. to recognize intervals. rythms and simple chords and progressions. and to write down correctly any tune played or sung to them for the first time.
 In some of the most enlightened schools in England this musical train ing is made compulsory up to cer- tain age. and it is wonderfully inter- esting to see how children who have perhaps been labeled as unmusical de- velop d musical sensibility under this teaching. and find that they are able to take an intelligent pleasure in a pursuit hitherto closed to them.
 Such training greatly smooths the way for learning to play an instru- ment. and sight-reading and transpo- sition come so easily and naturally to small pianists that to any listener un- acquainted with the method of teach ing the results seem little short of miraculous.
 It was recently the writre's good fortune to be present at an exhibition of the musical teaching in one of the London high schools for girls. which has particularly shown itself a pioneer in this direction A class of girls under 14 years took part. These girls were an average class. in no way se- lected for their musical ability. They had been learning at longest for three years and had lessons of twenty min
