n FEW years ago any one advocat-
~ ing self-improvement by means
Of correspondence instruction was ridi-
culed, but in keeping with the general
trend Of progress, ideas in this regard
have completely changed. Now every
one recognizes the value of cores
pondence course as practical and eff
ficient means of securing the kuowl-
edge sought.
Music, however, to many has seemed
the one subject that could not be sue
cessfully taught in this manner, but
those who have Investigated this means
Of acquiring musical training are loud
in Its praise, many of the features of
the correspondence system being far
superior to the methods used by the
ordinary personal teacher.
Then, too, it is well-known fact, in
giving personal lesson, the teacher
is explaining while the child is more
or less confused in trying to find the
right note to strike and listen at the
same time, and it is safe to say that
half Of each lesson must be taken over
at additional expense and loss of time
to the student.
Lesson Always Before Student.
By the correspondence method the
lesson, thoroughly explained and illus
trated, is always before the student.
No part Of it ever need be lost through
forgetfulness. The courses have been
compiled by teachers Of the highest

The Puyallup & Summer Fruit
Growers Association has orders booked
for 1043 carloads Of canned goods. A
telegram from W. H. Paulhamus, presi-
dent of the association, who is at pres
ent in the Middle West seeking new
markets, stated that he had orders for
between so and 100 carloads Of berries,

the Meinrath district. The district en-
braces Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Mime

all Of which states the Puyallup and
Sumner goods are distributed through
the Meinrath commission house. These
so or 100 carloads for which Paulhamus

gram also states that if he could re-
main away another 80 days he could
bring orders up to 1870 carloads.

Better Baby Plan
Explained
BY LIE MOYNE LIVINGSTONE.

- HE "Better Baby" movement Is
no "Fad," but gradual awak-
ening, individually, among few
thinkers Of the waste of time and
energy on feministic beauty show for
babies, to scientific, educational prop
Uganda for the betterment Of humanity.
When we are lacking in facts regard
ing life, there is sure to be Ignorance.
So with a timid, initiative mother and
father with no knowledge relating to
their offspring many child comes into
the world unwelcomed, often miserably
deformed, and diseased.
As the mother is pre-eminently the
director Of the child, it rests with her
as to its development physically.
Nouristment is the most important part
of a child's life, lack Of which retards
the child's growth, and in after years
a deficiency mentally can be traced to
poor nourishment being the cause.
By standardizing our "Beauty
Shows" we have made the educa-
tional centers for the enlightment and
encouragement Of mothers and fathers
With the magnificent help Of the
Woman's Home Companion giving us
a score card containing tables Of
weights and measures, also the proper
mental and physical development, a
mother can gain vast amount Of scien-
tific data as to whether her child is nor
NAL, and if defective the probabilities
of correction.

grade of proficiency and the subjects
are all presented in their proper order
and in thorough yet comprehensive
manner. Music is now considered as
important part Of child's education
as the literary schooling and the cor
respondence method, having become
practical as well as economical, has
placed it within the reach of every.
one.
1t gives all the opportunity of learn
ing to play well in the quiet of the
home.
1t does away with the embarrassment
and nervousness often caused by the
presence Of personal teacher and en-.
ables many music-lover, who has fail
ed to have these advantages in youth,
to learn to play for his own amuse-
ment. For, who is there that has not
at some time in his life longed to
possess this accomplishment
Music has refining influence on the
family and there is no more pleasant
manner in which to spend a winter 3
evening, than to gather round the fire
side and listen to the mother or little
son or daughter play your favorite
selections.
Wonderful Results Obtained.
Time being one Of the most impor.
tant principles in music is taught sue
cessfully by the aid of ime-beater,
which counts the time out loud for the
student while he practices. This device
will count slow or fast as the student
desires. The rate Of speed at which
the studies should be played is desig.
mated in the lesson and the counting
marked SO there is no chance for con.
fusion or mistakes.
Many of the correspondence schools
furnish all materials necessary, free Of
charge. Also the whole family car
learn to play from one set Of lessons
Music taught by correspondence is nc
longer in the experimental stage and
the wonderful results secured attest its
success. Schools teaching music in this
way are now ranked among the fore.

TO THE MERCHANTS
AND BUSINESS MEN

The city trash wagon is becoming
a heavy burden upon the city, due
principally to the fact that great
deal Of material is being given the
driver that was not intended when
this system was installed. The total
income of the city for street purposes
is now being used up almost entirely
by the business district, and in view
of the fact that such conditions are
unfair and unjust to the residence
property taxpayers, l wish to say that
in the future the trash wagon will be
limited to the actual contents of the
cans now placed in the district, and
nothing in the nature OF garbage,
wooden boxes or pasteboard boxes
will be moved unless the latter are
torn apart and reduced to reason
able size. Please do not ask the driver
to enter your store and carry out
trash, as he will be dismissed from
the service when caught doing this
kind of work. w. w. HARRIS,
Mayor City of Bryan.

incapable, semi-ignorant, headless junl-
ble." H. e. Miles, president OF the Wis

tional education of the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers, criticised pres
ent educational methods at yesterdays

nounced the waste, ineff1ciency and in
competency of the system and de-
clared the manufacturers and merchants

cate the product of the public schools

country annually pay upward of $780,
OO.000.

tice training in the schools and educa-
