should be so presented to the young
sters themselves.
Music. very evidently. Is not con-
sidered any too seriously in the Lake
county schools, and therefore the
judges were not asked to pass upon
such questions as repertoire. tonal
quality makeup of the various bod
les. but We're instructed to confine
their markings TO time expression
and interpretation" AS 1t would. of
course, be absurd to limit judgment to
these bald facts. the last two of which
are practically one. few other de-
tails were taken into consideration.
Under the head of Time" which as
single word means nothing, of
course: rhythm, accent and attack were
grouped. and in these purely mechani
cal aspects of the vocal art every one
of the FIVE choruses were good. proving
beyond any question that the drill had
been systematic and reasonable exact
ing.
+ Each chorus was required to sing the
Mendelssohn Farewell TO the Forest"
and one other number selected at will.
The Mendelssohn work was found
very good test piece and not too diff
ficult for school use. The selected
pieces were for the most part of too
insig nficant a nature for such use as
contest.
Expression" as usually used, means
shading only, butincluding also under
that heading phrasing and tonal quail
ity IL must be said that these bodies
of young singers were for the most
part deficient. This Is probably in
evitable and DOUBT it is the special
grief of the teacher of music in the
high school. 1t may be the inevitable
concomitant of youth. but the thought
persists that it is the result of misuse
of the voice.
Under the heading of "Interpreta-
ton one could place movement tap
propriately slow or fast). spirit, mood
and such questions of nuance are
beyond mere shading. as also enuncia-
ton and pronunciation. These, how
ever. are questions of great experience
rather than careful training. and there
fore to say that in general each of the
choruses gave very fair idea OF the
| real meaning of each piece. especially
of the Mendelssohn number. is to ac-
cord considerable praise, and this they
certainly deserve.
On the whole, the work was interest
ing in itself and was also very indi-
cative of good teaching on the part of
the teachers. though, said before 1T
clearly indicated that not one-half as
much time is given to music in the
schools as there should be.
Hammond was awarded the first
place in this contest, for in the more
simple details this chorus was dis
tinctly best and in the more intricate
questions involved in interpretation
it showed the results of more prolong-
ed and serious study.

country and some months ago it was
estimated that the productive capacity
of the country for 1911 was 100000
tons, in the shape of steel ingots, In ex-
cess of the consumptive requirements.
If that is SO, and statistics would seem
to support the claim, IT should not be
difficult matter for any of US to apprc-
ciate the fact that none of US can force
q one hundred per cent capacity into a
sixty per cent consumptive demand, II
we realize that condition and can recon-
Gle ourselves to II we are going to lead
a very comfortable existence in 1911.

us in the steel business are aware of
the fact that prices today are from Ave
dollars to six dollars lower than they
were at the time that the readjustment
was made in 1907. l do not believe that
any business can beforced by any
change of prices. Furthermore. l am

Thirty Hours without Food.
Tired out and completely exhausted
the little. girl was found lying near

times unsucessfully. She had been
thirty hours without food and water

go to a pasture short distance away
and bring home the two cows. That
was the last that was seen of her until

terrible fate had befallen her as Gary

time. The Rosinski home is just a short
