THE WONDERFUL
POWER OF MUSIC
Music in Its Relation to All Circles
Of Life Very Ably Dis
cussed.
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, July 1.-THE key
H. Shave, of st. Paul, Mimi, Presi-
dent of the music department of the
National Education Association, at a
section meeting of the Association to-
day, on Public School Music in Re
lation to the Music of the Communi-
ty," was that public school music is
one of the largest factors in the max
ing Of America a musical nation.
Music in its relation to the home
was first considered. Germany" said
the speaker "is said to owe the pre-
eminent place It does in the musical
world today to music in the home
One of our foremost musicians in
America today-a German by birth
has said that he owes his musical gift
not to his father, who was noted as
conductor, virtuoso and composer; but
rather to the lullabies and other sim
pie folk-songs that he heard from his
earliest infancy from his mothers lips.
How can our public schools assist
in bringing more music and music of
better quality into the home? By
having nothing but the best music
sung or played in the school, and Sec
ond by including in the course of study
many beautiful folk and other simple
but good songs, which through love
and familiarity the child will naturally
carry to his home. With the advent
OF the mechanical piano-player and
talking machine in the school, the
supervisor has an additional RESPONSE
bility, as it becomes the duty of the
supervisor to select music for the chill
dreh, o hear that will cultivate in

Some Results from Holding the
Legal Intellect in Norman" was the
subject of Judge Atkinson's address.
He said in part:
The term 'mortmain' came into
the English from the Latin, through
the Norman-French. In the report of
the case Of Wrotesley VS.. Adams,
Plowden, 1913, it is said it was so called
by resemblance to a man, in his last
moments, who holds whatever he
takes in his hands, mortuo manu-. that
is, so fast that he never quits II till
he is dead
with reference to real property.
Mr.. Blackstone defines mortmain as
purchases having been chiefly made
by religious houses, in consequence
whereof the lands became perpetually
inherent in one dead hand, etc. Many
acts were passed, in England, between
the time of the Saxon kings and the
time Of George II, forbidding these
conveyances, and there is much curl |
GUS learning, showing the various de-
vices resorted to for the purposes of
permitting property to be held in the
dead hand
"The evils of such holdings were
recognized in Mexico, prior to the in
dependence Of Texas. for by the de-
cree for the settlement OF vacant
lands, passd by Coahuila and Texas.

GAS ILLUMINATION
! PROPOSED TO BOARD
L. H. & P. Co. Representa-
tive Wanted Lights Put On
Main Street Bridge!

A representative of the Light, Hea.
and Power company appeared before
the board of works at its meeting this
morning and suggested that the board
install gas illumination on the Main
street bridge. He said that there were
three standards on each side of the
bridge which have not been used for
some time and asked the board to
award a contract to the Light, Heat
and Power company to furnish gas for
old standards. He declared that the
company would not be competing with
the city light plant inasmuch as the
city plant did not manufacture gas
The board, however, refused to accept
the proposition as the cost of the gas
illumination would exceed 5000 annual
ly.
Orders were given the street COM
commissioner by the board to sweep
and clean North D street; to repair
I South H street at Liberty avenue; to
repair Elm street at North Eighth
street; to gravel South E street east
of Sixteenth street; to gravel West
Seventh street from Main street to the
north side of the city park; to place
a railing at Kinsey and West First
streets along the river bluff and to ex-
anime the overflow of manholes at
Southwest e and Fourth streets.
Routine matters were given considr-
alton by the board, the assessment
rolls on the improvements of Kinsey,
West First and Mort D street being or
dered prepared. The final assessment
rolls on the improvement of the alley
between Twelfth and Thirteenth street
from North A to B streets and on the
alley first south of Main street from
Tenth to Eleventh and the sidewalks
on the south side of North c street
from Nineteenth to Twentieth streets
were ordered prepared. The final
assessment roll on the improvement
of South H. street was approved
A petition signed by Charles Sned-
iker and four others asking for arc
lights between Fourteenth and Nine
teenth on the New Paris pike was
taken under advisement.

row morning in special session.
