WHAT IS THE RIGHTFUL PLACE
FOR MUSIC IN THE PRIVATE
SCHOOL?
Nv MARGARET ANDERTON.

The wclI-to-do parcnt-both the
thinking one and the casual-is facing
at this time of the year the problem OF
the childrcn's schooling. The pros

ing scanned, the curriculum planned
by the wcll-to- do principal, the "rcgu-
lar course" the extras. the necessities
all are carefully set forth. usually so
that he who runs may read tand there
is good deal Of running done IN the
United States Of America.
Parents, have you looked out to see
what is the place given to music w
your child's school? And, what Is
vastly, prcgnantly more important
how is it being given? >,
Is il on the curriculum rs "luNrry
or is it there AS a necessity, like read,

training? Is it on that curriculum as
mot an EXTRA" and put there as n sop

parent or by far-sccing, worldly-wlS1

and prepared for by the principal OF
the private school you have selected,
for the valuable formative and in

general education of the young girls
and boys also?
Look into this matter, and look into
it thoroughly and soon. This article Is
no rhapsody on music from its aesthetic

TROUBLES ABROAD
FOR MOTOR CAR
TOURING PARTIES
Tax on Essence" in Paris
Greatly Inconvenience
Motorists in France.

Interesting details Of a transcon-
tinentaI motor tour are contained in a
letter received from Walter Nutting,
the artist. He has been touring for
several months on the continent.
He emphasizes the fact that the tour
list Of the present time does not need to
encounter the difficulties and annoy
ing experiences that a few years ago
seemed almost inevitable. Arrange
ments can be made 10 place your car in
the hands of a high-class customs
broker at Boston or New York, who will
attend to all matters such as prOcur-
ing membership in the Touring club Of
France and the Auto Association Of
Great Britain and will see your car
shipped and through the customs at
each end, doing these additional serv-
ices very promptly and without extra
charge.
As commonly known the roads on the
continent are generally in good repair.
Especially in France one does not need
to consult map concerning their grade
and character, because both are always
good Many points marked steep de-
scent" on the maps are gentle grades
which we should scarcely mention in
America There is, however, one i'm
pOrtant exception relative to good
roads; these running into Paris are

A serious annoyance to the tourist is
the fact. that the famous city Of Paris
stops every motor coming into the city.

this tax, but a great number stops one

Tourists in France should be warned
not to blow the KIaxon or light the
almost certain to cause arrest, but no
one is ever arrested for speeding in or
out Of Paris. and the pedestrian who
is run over has actually often been
fined for being in the way. Owing to
the great speed Of so many motor cars
il is necessary to drive very cautiously.
Formerly it was not an uncommon
thing for a tourist to be Obliged to re-
main for a considerable length of time
AZ one place in order that repairs might
be made upon his car, but the high de-
velopment OF the best in motor cars to-
day has almost eliminated this object
ionabIe feature. In this connection Mr..
Nutting writes at the close Of q. recent
letter: you Will be interested to
know that we have not spent a cent
on our Stevens-Duryea since leaving
America We have toured Italy and
France, so far making 1900 miles, and
after careful examination Of the
mechanism can find nothing to do. as
it is running like silk, and not a nut OF

a better chance in the first instance OF

light because it will free them from the

Predicts Lower Prices

In the current issue of the Farm
and Fireside, w. S. A. Smith, who is
an expert in such matters, predicts
that the price of farm produce will
go down in the next six months. He
gives the following reasons for this
prediction:
The careful eaman watches his
barometer carefully, and although he
may have clear skies overhead, a fall.
ing barometer always puts him on
his guard. We have in this country
at present a falling barometer, a feel.
ing of uncertainty. We are up against
a readjustment of farm lands and
prices on farm produce. The old
Scotch proverb MANY mickles make
a muckle" has a good deal to it. Ar.
gentine beef may not alone affect the
price of cattle, but when you import,
as we are doing now, Argentine corn,
beef, and mutton, Australian mutton,
Canadian oats and wheat, Chinese
eggs, and all kinds of eggs and DO.
tatoes from European countries, you
can't convince me that it will not
have a tendency to lower in the next
six months the prices on all our farm
produce.

fore them was emphasized today.
The wide divergence of views was
further indicated in senate commit
tees, the judiciary committee failing.
after a solid week of labor, to perfect
the Clayton bill, which they had *
pected to complete last Monday. The
interstate commerce committee failed
again to resume consideration of the
Rayburn bill to regulate issuance of
railroad securities, and it was stated
by a member of the committee that
no meeting could be held before Fri
day. 1t was asserted also that prac-
tically no progress had been made
since last week.

Helena Preachers Protest

Helena, July left the members
of the Order of Elks who come to
Helena, Aug. II and IS to attend the
state convention and put "Hell in
Helena" as they are advised by the
posters to do, they will do it in the
face of protests by the Helena Min
isterial association.
For several weeks the store VIM
dows in Helena have had displayed
attractive posters of the Elks' state
convention on which the phrase is
printed in big letters: Put He'll in
Helena Aug. II and 49," There has
been adverse comment on the advice
from some of the church people in
Helena, but no concerted action was
taken until the meeting of the min
listers a day Or two ago. They then
took up the question of the Elks'
posters and discussed it, and then ap.
pointed a committee to call upon the
officers of the lodge and tell them
that the ministerial association en-.
tiers it's Protest against said placards
as being beneath the dignity of the
Z. p. O. f. and an insult to the high
standard of morality and citizenship
Of Helena: and that the ministers of
Helena, voicing, as they believe they
do. the majority of Helena citizens,
respectly request that the said pla.
cards be recalled"
Nothing is said in the ministerial
protest about the picture of the light
ly.clad girl which also appears on
the poster.

New Banking System DELAYED

Washington, July 16.-Failure of
the senate to confirm Thos. D. Jones
and Paul NJ. Warburg as members of
the federal reserve board within the
next week may lead to complications
which will seriously interfere with the
final preparations for launching the
new banking system. The currency
act speaks of the reserve board as a
whole and bestows no powers on diff
ferent individuals OH that board.
The question has been raised
whether the three members of the
board confirmed by the senate have
authority to go ahead with the work
of setting the bank machinery in mo-
ton or whether they must wait for
the confirmation of the other two
members.

A learned and capable jurist has as
serted that the French method of legal
procedure, which. contrary to our own,
presumes an indicted person guilty un-

system.
But in Holland the courts have, in
some respects. a better system than
that OF h French. The accused in
every case has the benefit of the doubt,
and circumstantial evidence as the
only foundation for a plea of convic-
ton is in disfavor.
The Dutch do not have juries, and
there is no battle Of wits among coun-
sell. All questions. whether by the
prosecution or the attorney for the &C.
cused. are put to the witness through
the Judge after he has weighed the JUS
tice of the interrogation.
This feature Of their system has
some pronounced advantages over our
own. 1t eliminates the practice Of con-
fusing the witness or the accused by
misleading questions. 1t renders i'm
possible the abominable practice in u
courts known as the ''browbeating" of
witnesses. which unfortunately is per-
mitted to an extent that causes the in
telligent observers blood to boil at
