TWENTY SECOND YEAR

When Christ lay in the manse- bars
 4 gift to us he gave
 Twas not his blood on Calyury
 A siInmg world % save.
 The centuries have seen great gifts,
 But none more sweet or wise.
 Just the smile on his dimpled mouth,
 Tears from his baby eyes.
 The smile worn on Christmas day
 We all may pass along.
 And change some wailing note of woe
 Into psalm or song
 The smile you wear Christ's natal day
 May c1eer your neighbor's heart;
 Your flowing tears of sympathy
 May heal a wounds harsh smart.
 A personality absolutely unique is one of the factors that has placed Er- ucstinc Schumann- Heink. who will probably sing in Phoenix the first of February. at the head of all present day contraltos. A newspaper writer once said that she was essentially human" Since then hundreds have repeated this assertion. And it tells a part Of the story Of the tremendous popularity of an artist who is none the less a musician because she is al ways woman, with a keen sympathy for her fellow beings That Mme Schuman- Henk should stand in the same supcrlative position in the con cert field that sine occupied in opera is largely due to her personality, one which projects itself beyond the foot lights. The moment she appears on the stage she seems to transfer to the audience something that binds them together in bonds Of sympathy. And when she sings her effects are the keener because of this tie.

 The public school pupils of Miss Christine Thiers. music supervisor; Miss McI.ane. art instructor. and Miss Ruth Lewis. domestic science teacher. are learning to bring into harmony the various branches of these studies that can be correlated, and are thus finding their work steadily increasing in interest and value. They are learn ing young from instruction what many older people have had to learn by eX- perience. and that is the blending and gradual intermingling of the arts, sci ences and occupations of life. Any useful knowledge is an aid and an in strument in acquiring other knowl- edge. and a vast help in understand ing what one is trying to learn
