 MUSIC --~-~-<-~-~-%-~-
(Mrs. R. G. Atkinson.)

Centuries ago, it was discovered that the air we breathe and which surrounds us in such seeming quie- tude, is constantly disturbed by waves CT vibration. which convey to us the impressions of the natural phenome- ma, such as sound, light and heat Herodotus writes that a Athene the Goddess of knowledge invented the flute. but threw it away because of the facial distortions the playing caused. In it's stead she took the Tyre and gave it to Apollo, the God of Music, who praised the wonderful sound. But long before Athene's flute, or Apollos Tyre were heard, music had come into being with the cymbals of the attendants of Zeus It is impossible to trace the origin of music. David had his harp, and We were admonished to Praise the Lord win stringed instruments ? The glass harmonica was said to have bee ninvented by Benjamin Frank lin, but the idea of tone production, by passing the hand over glass, was known centuries before. The trumpet that called to arms the sold, iers of cid, is the same peculiar in strumemt in use today, in that it does not transpose. Wagner uses the trumpet in Tannhauser and Lohen- grin. In Handles Messiah they accom- pany the voice. Verdi's imagination puts the trumpet in Gabriels hand when he introduces the last trump in the Requiem.
 Bands of music have been used for ages, to cheer the patriots as they were marched to battle, for men could not be made to fight without music. In America, as we'll as in other coun- tries, music owes its development to the church, although the religious element for long period was detri- mental to the growth of art, the tri- umph which eventually was brought about, came through the same chan

EARLY HISTORY
lBy Mrs. w. F. Coleman).

1t is Interesting to know the facts and conditions in the early history of our school system. For twenty-two years MT. Gabe Meyer served with pride and responsibility with the Board of Trustees. It was due to his determined efforts and personal endorsement of notes at one time that the school warrants were not sold as recommended, when they were worth only thirty cents on the dollar, but were sold for their fuli value and teachers were paid and schools kep; open.
 District No. 3 was formed in 1868. The directors serving were R. w.. Trimble, w. P. Grace, Samuel Me- Almont, G. $. Van Valkenburg, Gabe Meyer, Hughs Scul.
 Mrs. Ellen Lee, now Mrs. M. L. the first teachers to pass examina- ton.
 The schools wer eoDened in '69. As there was no building large enough to accommodate all the pupils, each teache' had separate school. The brick school house on Sixth Avenue was built by Bell and Bocage in 1871.
 Mrs. Myra Warner, of Little Rock, was the first prime pal, other teachers were Miss Yyman, Crs. Ellen Lee and Miss Wasserman.
 Only four rooms in the school building were used, the third floor was not used until the closing ex- ereises.
 Rev. R. W. Trimble was Superin-

Rear thy lead, oh, shaft of granite, Face thou East, and mark the sun; Emblem Of our glorious Southland, For it, day has just begun. Rear thy head, oh, shaft of honor, Gift of mothers, daughters, wives; Pay in part the homage due them, Men who blessed thee with their lives Sacred is the earth about thee, Dedicated to our youths; I each them history, unWritten, Let them learn of the great truths. Monuments to souls in glory, We are placing, in this day; And to these who living, wear now, In their heads a crown of gray. Dead thy cause? Not even sleeping, Eut, in love and charity, Inspiration to an army Daughters of Confectionery" Buried, for a resurrection, Emblem of the South to be; It has risen, it is living, Proof of immortality

Tho feature of features has been se- qeeted for ehe Breeds entertaining pro- gramme for Monday and Tuesday, and is nothing less than the much talked of dlm depicting the Last Rites of the Maine and Burial of Its Dead. This is an excellent, exclusive feature of vast popular appeal, and was perfectly pho- tographed under the auspices of the United States navy department. It covers An entire reel of 1000 feet of finn that will thrill you with patriot ism as each scene, more beautiful than It's predecessor, is unfolded before you upon the screen. This is the last note In the motion picture world for per lection of detail, and is sure to appeal to all who are interested in up to date subjects, especially the admirers of ths brave jack tsrs whose lives were sacrificed in this appalling event. The picture will remain for Monday and Tuesday only, and 1t will be necessary for those who wish to take advantage of the opportunity to come early and avoid the rush.
 For today. the Breed offers little surprise in the shape of the return to the Blograph company of the Lit tle School Teacher" as she Is popu- lsSy known, This is the little lady who completely capttvates the hearts of the many patrons of the motion pictures, as her nonch8lant, artless manner makes the spectator feel abso- lutely at home with her. a feeling that removes the thought of acting super seding it with a charm that no other player in the cast enjoys. She is the star in the brilliant story entitled '1oia's Promise" a superb Indian spe- taole reveling in glorious scenery, a sWeet story and superb ecting.
