peal to their optical understanding,
which is further developed in in
fancy than any other sense.
The present system of teaching
little ones is faulty in that it does not
give the child an all-around develop
ment. BY the use of colors and al
Turing stories of fairies, we may now
teach the child of from to years
of age the rudiments of music. Com
bined with these two features are,
of course, other means of bringing
the child into proper lines of develop
ment. With our musical training, we
also train the child to an intense OBJ
servation of details, make him con-
csntrate his mind. and give him an
independence and originality of ac-
ton which will prepare him for the
bigger things of life when he meets
them later on. Teach children of
these early ages such things as con-
centration and observation and it
will be found that all the troubles
of study in the later years will have
been eliminated. In the majority of
cases it is safe to say lack of ability
to concentrate has made more trou-
BILE for boys and girdls of from 8 to
20 years than any other three fac
tors. With concentration there will
be no such thing as the backward
child
The development of strong
moral character is one of the most
important branches of our new sys-
TEN. Music gives the child good
character and after their first lessons
in 'colors' we seek to add three
traits of -aggressiveness,
resistance and enduring forcefulness.

G. j. BOYS Win Debate.

a large crowd attended the debate
contest last evening at the Methodist
church in Fruita. Although n mann
moth delegation attended the bows who
came from Palisade and other towns.
there were very few Grand Junction
people present to witness the sweep-
ing victory OF the two Grand Junction
boys over their opponents. Prof.
Dodds, whose home is in Fruita. rep-
resented the faculty from the Grand
Junction high school.
The debating of Russell Coles was
iittle short of remarkable. and he cas-
ny won the debate, with Horace Hon
klns Tor an extremely strong side part
ner. The two boys were considered
me best amateur orators of any pre-
vious contest. and they easily won the
county championship for the Grand
junction high school.

Edward Wilson of this city and Roll
and Bancroft of Palisade will be the
only competitors will take place TO-
night at the same place. Gold and
silver medals will be awarded for the
best address.
