FISHING AND OTHER THINGS.

These spring days, If they do moth
ing else, cause us to wildly remember
an earlier time when all was fai
and young and the business cares OF
getting along in the world We're sec
ondary considerations when father
made the money and administered the
leather.
when those old days used to tingC
soft and the apple orchard burst into
bloom over night; when the sarys
berries out in the woods began Ia
grow red and the dandelons caused
us much anxiety on account of their
profusenoss and perseverance in
growing in places where dad had fore.
ordained they should not grow. and
when the array Of hoes hanging up in
the tool house seemed to be ten times
as man-kllling ng-along about this time
we used to get Visions of fish, great
big fish, eager and anxious fish, fish
with fine and fish without fins,
The angle worms lay but "A few inch
as below the surface of the ground.
In welding the hoe at the' base of
some importinent weed. four or five
of these fish tempters would come
out, fat and glossy food for the finny
tribe. Then would our bosoms heave,
and with field of potatoes so large
that we knew it would take a solid
week to hoe, we deplored the day
we were born ana sought solace 10y
sneaking off to the orchard and fill
ing up on wild strawberries as fun
as quantity would permit.
But we knew the fish would bite.
We fancied ourselves slipping behind
sycamore trees to bait the hook TO
keep the fish from grabbing the
worms out of our hands Even in our
dreams we saw the cork bobble few
times and then sink deep under the
water; then the line broke or the
pole cracked, and we either fell into
the river or out of bed, and another
cherished ambition resulted fruitless
as father came in to lambast us good
and hard for waking up the baby.
Fishing? A boy who has never
stuck pole in the muddy bank of Il
stream and then chased off into the
woods following the pup after a
squirrel, has missed one big part of
life. The hook may be dangling bare
when he returns and he may be
forced to go home with mud all over
his shirt and trousers, but he's been
fishing, and whatever part of dis
couragcment comes as the result of a
frutless try. gives way Immediately to
the anticipation Of how many fish he
will have on the string when he next
goes after them.
He may shuddor at the sight Of
father chopping off the head of a
chicken, or beading the eye of a
squirrel or. rabbit with the rifle. but
a fish doesn't seem to be sensitive to
pain. for he has often noticed that
they do not even SO much as bat an

basic principle on which we work.
the child is started 10 singing by sing
ing 10 him, not by making him learn
the scale. In the end, technique comes
10 him easily almost uneonsclously'
with the result that the new method
OF teaching singing by singing ac-
tually develops more sight-readers or
music than did the old method OF
teaching singing by praeticislng the
scale,'
The work which Is being done In
music in the ST. Louis schools may
be regarded as OF wide importance"
said James c. Boykln, the editor OF
the United states bureau Of education
yesterday, "by reason OF the fact that
II is a conspicuous example OF tho
truth that the potential musical abil-
lty Of the American people Is practl-
cally as great as Is that OF anyrother
nation requiring nothing more than
training Ia bring II out. The absence
Of n general forward movement IN
musical education among the schools
of this country has been matter Of
concern TO this bureau, which there
fore welcomes all the more cordially
the excellent work done In the st.
Louis schools. That the arts directed
to the ear make a deeper emotional
appeal than do those directed solely to
the eye can hardly be questioned, and
there is no disputing the conclusion
that our children must be trained to
love music, to crave II, and to pro-
duce It, If they are TO arrive at full
rounded maturity

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
.oco.'s.9...l.'.'.'.l..'s..'.s

twenty-five states are represented
In crusade which the Lawmakers
and school authorities Of the country
are waging against the hish-sehool
fraternity according TO repor'
which has Just been Issued for free
distribution by the United States bu-
reau OF Education. OF these ID
states have passed legislative enact
ments hostile to the secret orders
while the school boards Of important
cities In the otner IL nave adopteu
like measures within their own Jur'
isdiciion.
All states having laws on the SUD
ject provide penalty OF suspension
or expulsion from school for all those
who ioin these orders. The most
drastic laws were passed In Iowa
Minnesota, and Nebraska, whose leg
islatures made II misdemeanor Tor
anyone even to solicit members 10
these organizations. Michigan ana
Ohio made IL a misdemeanor Tor a
school officer to fail or refuse 10
carry out the anu-hgh school FRA
ternity law. Other states which pro-
hibit these orders are California, IN
diana, Mississippi, oregon, Vermont
Massachusetts empowers the Boston
school committee to deal with the
secret society problem in its own way
while Washington gives the same lat
itude to the school boards of its larg-
er cities.
The more important cities whose
ncaool boards have passed regula-
tions restricting or forbidding high
school fraternities, are Denver, Merl-
den, Chicago, Coyington, New Orleans,
Lowell, Waltham, Worcester, Kansas
City Mo-, ST. Joseph, Butte, Oklaho-
ma city Reading, Salt Lake City,
Madison, Milwaukee, Racine and Su-
perior The commonest penalties
are suspension, expulsion, or debar-
ment from school athletic or other
teams.
The United States bureau Of edu-
cations report also cites some of the
cry one OF which upholds the school
authorities in dealing vigorously
with the high school fraternity, on
the ground that the measures so TAX
EN- are authorized as a part of the
school boards discretionary powers.
Most courts cited, however, will not
allow the offending pupils to be bar
red from participating in all the ath-
letic or other contests.
The high school secret society
will very likely never win such a
pace in the American educational
system as that now occupied by the
college fraternity" said William r.
Hood, of the education bureaus div
ision of school administration, yes
terday. There is no such need for
a high school fraternity; indeed,
among its most insistent opponents
are many college fraternity men.
"It is interesting, and possibly sig
nificant, that the movement to eXtir-
pate the fraternity activity from high
school life had its origin and still
finds its greatest strength in the West
and Middle West"

Mr.. Dan Dingbat:

Mr. Dan Dingbat:
Your order for a wife at. hand. We
have a few choice selections still on
hand that might suit you. We have
none that have been packed in moth
balls; they have all been renovated
and put out as summer girls II you
notice the summer girls you will note
they have all been made over from
old stock We do beautiful work in
this class. A little touching here and
there does the work. The girls do
little touching here and there after
they get strung out little on their
summers work. also. -
have on hand a few Boston school
teachers that are bargain. All they
ask Is a man--it don't make any diff
ference what he looks like or what
his occupation is-just so he can
make an affidavit that he is a man.
These girls have gone by the hope
mark, and in looks they would not
bring "ahs" and "ohs'' at a beauty
show; but If you are looking just for
a wife-something you can stand
around or place to one side and be
sure It will be in the same place next
day, like a toy soldier-this is your
class.
| have one on hand that does not
know how to cook, but can repeat
verbatim every word in Webster's un-
abridged dictionary. This is a great
help to a Woodworking man.
If you are not pleased with this
class perhaps you would like some
thing in the ex-society queen or the
country girl line. Or If you care to
wait until the summer girl returns,
we can offer YOU an entirely new
made-over assortment-just as good
as new.
You might drop in and look my
line over. You will be under no OBJ
legation for Just looking at them.
We strive to please.

teresting debates Of the year locally,
which was held last Frinday night in
the High School auditorium. The Sen
ate and Athenian societies We're or
ganized only three years ago and at
that time the Senate, composd OF girls,
challnged the Athenian, composed of
boys. The girls proved victorious.
As most Of the debaters are seniors,
the closing contest Friday was very
interesting. The debaters for the SEN
ate society, Esther Hass, Bessie Bowen
and Venetta Holmes, challenged the
chosen debaters of the Athenian soci-
ETY., John Curran, Perry Erwin and
David Livingston on the subject: Re
solved: That the legislatures of the
various states should adopt the initia-

the affirmative. Both sides made re-

the girls won. the negative side re-
ceiving two of the three votes. The
judges were Miss Snidow, Rev. Frank

AS a result of the instruction in
music given in the public schools of
st. Louis, each graduate of the high
schools of that city is familiar with
fifty grand opera choruses or selec-
tions from oratorios, in addition to a
wide range of less pretentious songs
of merit. This work, which is observ-
ed with interest by officials of the
United States bureau of education has
been carried on in its present form
for five years. In the course of this
time great chorus of $500 st. Louis
school children, accompanied by the
Damrosch Symphony orchestra, sang
with great success selections from
classical compositions and music of
the highest character. Several orches-
tra- choral concerts have been given
Jointly with the st. Louis Symphony
orchestra, the vocal pieces being di-
vided equally among three choruses
OF about 400 children each. Among
the composers represented are Wag-
ner. Offenbach. Beethoven, Mendels-
sohn, Gounod. Verdi, Crieg and Costa.
The supervisor of music instruction
In the st. Louis public schools said.
"as early as the seventh grade pupils
are given selections from the easier
arrangements of oratories and grand
operas. and from music of like char
acter. and training in such choruses
is continued through the high school
In this way we inculcate a love and
understanding of classical music with
such good effect that among the sO.-
600 school children of st. Louis
are few advanced pupils who would
much rather sing fine music than rag
time. However. we shall not be sat
isfied TIL the children are brought
to the point where they will under
stand and enjoy symphony music. a
training In which is very nearly the
ultima Thule of the music lovers ed
ucation. At the present rate of pro-
gress. the children ought to reach this
stage of music culture in five years. =
