musical lore can de-
termine the class of
a song by means of
the rhythm of the
music.
From a technical
musical standpoint,
the Indian music is
very similar to the
form of our own mu-
sic. The compass
of the songs varies
from one to three
octaves and some of
the songs have no
words, although this

grinding songs and the songs of inspiration and
encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle
1t is usually difficult for listener of another
race to catch Indian song owing to the con-
ficting noise due, in great part, to the beating
of the drums. There is usually difference in
time, the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps of the
ceremonial dancers, whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal. The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be in 3-4 time or the
beat be in So time against melody in ga time,
the entire song may be sung to a rapid tremolo
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making study of Indian music enthusiastic
over its possibilities. They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study of the growth of musical form, but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the present-day
composer a wealth of melodic and rhythmic move
ments constituting source of inspir alton equal
to that which has been supplied by the folk songs
of Europe and vastly serviceable in the
development of distinctive American school"
of music.

A BOYS INFLUENCE.

Il wonder why Sam barrow is SO

of friend of the Darrows.
II know" piped little voice; "it
is because Sam loves everybody.
How do you know Sam loves ev-
erybody?"
Cause he does. Now, there's
Jim Blake; his father drinks, and
sometimes Jim don't bring any lunch
to school. Then Sam divides his lunch
with Jim, always. And when the boys
made fun of Jim Short because his
elbows were out, Sam gave 'em a
look that they won't forget in a
hurry"
"a look! What would boys care
for look?"
Well, sir, if you'd seen Sans
look, you'd understand 1t was just
as If he'd said: Now amt you
ashamed of yourselves-making fun
OF poor little fellow who wears the
best he's got?'"
Doesn't that look of Sans make
the boys angry"
No, sir; it makes 'em ashamed
and they like Sam all the better for
it."
What else does Sam do?"
oh, couldn't begin to tell you
all he does, but he's forever dom
something for somebody. That day

place in which We dwell; for the love
that unites US; for the peace accord
ed us this day; for the hope with
which we expect the morrow; for the
health. the work, the food and the
bright skies, that make our lives de-
ligtful; for our friends in all parts
of the earth, and our friendly help
ers in this foreign isle. Let peace
abound in our small company
Purge out of every heart the lurk-
ing grudge. Give us grace and
strength to forbear and to persevere
Offenders, give us the grace to ac-
cept and forgive offenders. Forget
full ourselves, help us to bear cheer
fully the forgetfulness of others.
Give us courage and faith and the
quiet mind. Spare us to our friends.
soften us to our enemies. Bless us,
if it may be, in all our innocent en-
deavors. If it may not be, give us
strength to encounter that which is
to come, that We be brave in peril,
constant in tribulation, temperate in
wrath and in all changes of fortune,
down to the gates of death, loyal
and loving to one another. AS the
clay to the potter, as the windmill
to the wind, as children of their sire.
we beseech of Thee this help and

So dies an old year now.
Singing, and signs. and silence.

And grave or gayer ghiles;

And days that left their scars

Tasks that begin and end;
Hours that have brought the silence
Alike to foe and friend.

Draughts that were bitter-sweet;
Greeting. and hail. and parting
The old and new year meet.
Sunrise, and moon, and sunset,
Day Will slip into day;
Twilight, and dark. and daylight,
The year will roll away;
Sunshine, and song, and g1adness,
Fair dreams that come in sleep,
Bird song. and nodding blossoms
These we are fain to keep.
Darkness, and light, and shadows,

Blend into Gods completeness,
