RAGTIME NOT so HOPELESS
May Yet Become the Real American
Music, Is the View of Some of
the Teachers.

Duluth.-That ragtime may yet be-
come the real American music, and
that there is hope for it's reformation,
was the concensus of opinion of many
Minnesota music teachers assembled
here for their annual convention.
"Ragtime contains one prime requi-
site of music-rhythm," said Mrs.
Agnes Fryberger of Minneapolis. 1T
has long been associated with vulgar
words, but there is no reason why
this cannot be altered. Syncopation
is recognized by musicians. The
rhythm is what makes ragtime ap-
peal to the uneducated musical ear
and accounts for it's popularity"
THE public in it's opinion about
music usually knows only two express
sions; to the masses, music is either
pretty or not pretty" said Heinrich
Hoevel, Minneapolis, president of the
association.
THE different emotions expressed
so wonderfully by the great compos-
ers pass unnoticed. 1t should be our
aim to awaken the sensibility of the
pupil to the fact that there is some
thing more in music than nice tunes
and pretty melodies"

Domestic Breadmakinu,

With fear of scarcity of bread
through shortage of -four, one recalls
Cobbett's view of the woman in the
house who, provided with materials,
still lacked loaf. "As to the art Of
making bread" he wrote, "it would be
shocking indeed if that had to be
taught by the means of books. Every
woman, high>Sr low, ought to know
how to make bread; if she do not she
Is mere burden upon the community
Yet it is but too true that many wom-
en- knew nothing of the making of
bread Even servant women
In abundance appear to think that
toaves made by the baker are things
Of their pure creation-things, too, in
which no one else can participate.
Now, is not this an enormous evil"
Cobbett's words, however, failed to
touch the kitchen, for the enormous
evfl' still exists!

Aged INDECENT Refused Aid.

Winona.-Crippled and barely able
to walk with the use of crutches, Gus
Weber has appealed in vain for sew
eral weeks in different counties of the
state to be taken to a poorhouse, but
he is declared ineligible. Weber came
from Germany four years ago and has
resided in no place long enough to be-
come a public charge. The mans
feet were frozen and physicians have
told him that proper care and rest
alone will cure them. Failing in Min
nesota to be taken into poor house,
the aged man went to Wisconsin, but
there he was equally unsuccessful, and
so has returned to Winona.

Peculiar Pets.

An English major with a penchant
for entomology asserts that the hor-
net is "a gentle, inoffensive creature
very suitable for a pet" This re-
minds one of an incident in the life Of
the late Lord Avebury. Travelling one
day on a railway train with a pet
wasp in his pocket, he hurriedly
thrust his hand into his pocket to get
his ticket and the wasp stung him. He
did not blame the wasp, however, as
his hurried action had frightened the.
creature. Wasps have frequently be-
come pets, but the major is said to
be the first to turn the hornet into
one.
