BENEFIT OF MUSIC
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
(1) Music relieves fatigue of the
mind and body occasioned by close
application to study and recitation.
90 The disorder of the school
room is many times attributed to
meanness. when. in fact, the child's
conduct is a product of disordered
physiological functions. Music makes
them forget their condition. Their
minds become excited by the pleasure
of song. Good humor takes the place
of stubbornness, and study replaces
what is considered meanness.
90 Public school music should be
simple, but 1t should be sufficiently
thorough to enable the pupil to en-
gage in congregational singing, there
by cultivating their reverence for God,
and strengthening and improving their
spiritual character.
(4) Music in the schools promotes
patriotism, which is a fundamental
virtue on which national liberty. life,
and property are founded.
(5) Children who are taught music
sweeten the home atmosphere and
multiply the joys of their own little
lives.
90 The ability to read music as
taught in the public schools enables
many to earn a living, either by teach
ing or singing. It is also the means
Of discovering many rare voices.
I'D Deep breathing which is part
of the study, is very beneficial from a
standpoint of health. Any exercise
that tends to expand the chest and
lungs is most excellent.
go The world cannot be without
musie-cannot enjoy life. 1t is music
that charms the home, that sootles
the heart in sorrow, that inspires
courage in battle, that makes life
worth the living.
60 Many studies now in the schools
are of no practical benefit to the child
except as a means to train the mind
to study and develop the memory
Music does all this in the best pos
sible manner, and gives the child
something that will be of lasting
benefit.

the words of a prominent educator in

the giant trust that controls the car

by congress of the fact that a postal

can and will provide such a service
Now that the ice is broken it will not
be so difficult for congress to improve
the service until it becomes one OF
real utility.
II is not unlikely that the next con-
gress will take up this matter and

A Tremendous Success Now
Sweeps Into the South

For three years the K-r-i-t has been a I
sure and certain success for every
dealer and every buyer who has
come in contact with it.
But it was a success limited by our
production capacity.
The result, during these three years,
has been that every K-r-i-t has been
sold before it left the factory.
For that reason we have been unable
to supply buyers, except through r
those dealers who were fortunate
enough to have early identified them
selves with the Kr-i-t line
But, now we are in position to make
prompt deliveries, because we have
largely increased our production.
This means a golden opportunity to
the dealer whose experience has
taught him to recognize the possible
ties OF a car already firmly en-
uenched in popular favor.
K-r-i-t character and K-r-i-t quality are
an old story, and with the momentum
OF nationwide success and prestige, "A
point out the money making capacity
of the K-r-it line. K
The dealer who associates himself with
the K-r-i-t now, can be swept along
on the wave of K-r-it popularity and
enthusiasm.
The K-r-i-t price is all Knit value It
does not mean fashy equipment and
ornamentation. It is all in the car A
1t means, Mr.. Dealer, that in the K-r-i-t

The reason for this is that the K.r-i-t
is the product of one organization;
this means less cost of production
and greater value in the car, with
correspondingly greater satisfaction
and longer service to the owner.
All main bearings in the motor and

greater efficiency, no adjustments.
and ability to outlive the car itself.
The motor, clutch, and transmission
are unit; the motor has the valves

Transmission and differentia1 gears are
cut from chrome nickel, the hardest
and longest wearing steel.
The equipment is complete and all
exterior metal parts are finished in

A clean. honest, kind criticism Is
wholesome. but an underhand thrust,
intended to be smart. is dangerous.
There is so much of this flippant criti-
cism these days. We are nearly all
guilty of 1t, and yet 1t is kind of sin
that keeps the right from succeeding.
There are instances every day where
noble fact is kicked aside by dis
paraging remark. intended only as a
slap. The serious trouble with these
fiippant criticisms is. they never leave
truth behind; 1t is always blotch.
The thing to do is to leave off the flip
pant and make a criticism sincere,
thoughtful. frank and kind. If criti-
cism is not thus attended, 1t is false
and flippant. unworthy of a true man
or woman.

Nothing of the sort. The gowns
are veritable gems of beauty in which
the models look more chic than in the
styles which need corset. Now, how
is this accomplished?
The modiste who is responsible fol
this fashion, being an artist as we'll as

natural lines Of the feminine figure
with the purpose of evolving a fash

gowns of this kind years ago.

One Of the curious provisions of the
woman suffrage law of California calls
for the registration of the height of
women voters. Naturally the regis
trars are having trouble with 1t. First
OF all, 1t has to be decided where the
foot of a woman begins and where
her head leaves off. Shall French
heels be subtracted. or ought the au-
thorities to assume that 1t is indeli-
cate for them to consider that women
have heels? Are puffs, rats and other
apparatus Of the sort to be taken into
account, or must women discard these
affairs when they come up for meas
urement? Artificial hair is said to
have gone out OF fashion. We are not
prepared to speak with authority on
that matter, says the Toledo Blade.
But supposing that next year. that
fashion Of the latter part Of the
eighteenth century. when women had
their hair made up with -four and the
whole baked, should be the rage.
What would the registrar say when a
voter came before him? Would he
ask her to remove her bun? Or, be-
ing a man of experience. would he
merely sigh and credit the elector
with 10 inches growth in the course
of year?

SYSTEM IN LETTER WRITING
Busy Woman Will Find It Saves Time
and Prevents Too Frequent Neglect
of Correspondence.

All busy women know the value tf
system, and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter of letter writing many
women are great procrastinators. They
persistently leave important letters I'M
answered until the last possible mo-
ment, and then have to write hurried
note, often forgetting to take up i'm
portant subjects for discussion.
The best way to do is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose, and
she allows none but the most press
ing duties to interfere with her writ
ing.
While reading a letter she will jct
down any particular thing she wants
to mention in the reply on the back
Of the envelope, place it in the letter
rack on her desk, and. when Tues
day comes, has all the weeks CORE
spondence ready for answering be-
fore her. If during the interim of
the receipt and answering of letter
she thinks of any point she wishes to
discuss, that, too, is noted on the en-
velope.
With this system letter writing is
real pleasure-one that is looked
forward to every week with keen il
terest.

Wide FriIIs.

Immensely wide frills are among the
newest designs in Partisan neckwear,
says the New York Herald. These
frills, of the finest net or tulle, are
worn with collarless frocks, and they
are so wide that they extend we'll be-
yond the shoulder line. Not many fig.
ures will be enhanced in beauty by
this style of neckwear, and it will
probably not be popular except among
young girls of very slender build.
