MUSIC.

An important and instructive contri-
button on the side of the educational
worth OF music comprises the current
issue Of the State Normal Record. the
valuable publication issued by the
state normal college at EN-
poria. 1t is appropriately called
the music number and is q
brochure of "a pages. devoted entirely
to discussions of variety of the many
phases Of this large subject. Among
them is a forceful editorial on the
educational value Of music. as follows:
kinetic principle gives to music its
value and individuality. Where his
tory, mathematics. even the sciences,
concern themselves for the most part
with an intellectual status quo. music
lie an expressive effort. A necessity
for action or practice, technical exc
cution," pertains to music. which is not
in other studies. The pupils musical
knowledge il indeed little more than
the nervous and mental memorial Of
what ne has musically done.
The faction of learning is of the
greatest educational importance. The
step, often too difficult, between learn
ing and it's expression in motion is
here done away with. Learning, in the
arts. is itself expressive. There Is not
in music the usual tulkhead between
reception and motivity. There is and.
for musical success, must be a close
couple between the thing known and
the thing done. To maintain itself at
all it must attain that educational ideal.
the marriage OF knowledge and action.
Music is primarily different in i'm
pulse. It's requirement is truly. though
paradoxically, little else than the sum
Of what one has musically given out.
All studies do not require expression.
Music, on the other hand, helps to sus-
tain the thesis that true learning is an
equilibrium between reception and ex-
preston.

BOYS AND GIRLS ON THE FARM.

BOYS AND GIRLS ON THE FARM.
In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside. the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield. Ohio. Herbert
Quick, the editor, writes a most inter-
esting editorial on the advantages Of
having practical education in rural
schools. Following is an extract from
his editorial:
IF our boys and girls are given the
right sort of education at home they
will not desert us and go to the city.
They will stay on the farm IL they arc
so educated as to feel that on the farm
they may become successful.
I'm an Iowa county the rural pupils
were examined as to what they wanted
to do with their lives. Most Of the
boys. and almost all of the girls. an
swered that they meant to leave the
farm when they grew up.
1.-Two years afterward the boys and
girls in the same schools were asked
the same question. Most Of the girls
and almost all of the boys. answered
that they meant to stay on the farm.
what had made the change? Just
this: the teachers had been given more
practical work to do in the schools.
They had been giving the teaching q
farm slant. They had been working in
the schools on farm matters. and the
girls had been studying cooking, sew
ing, housekeeping, and the care Of the
house and children. And they had for
gotten about leaving the farm. They
had been doing pleasant. interesting.
practical work, and they were happy.
They had come to see that there il
just as fascinating work, just as in
tellectual work, just as big work in the
country as any of them could expect to
get in the city-and much higher work
that most of them could expect.
think few farmers in that county would
begrudge high wages to teachers doing
that sort of work.

CHEWING GUM FROM MEXICO.


I How many people in the United
States chew gum. No accurate gov
ornamental statistics being available. a
conservative estimate may place the
humber at 100000. dividing them
into two classes. the inveterate or hab-
itual chewers and the occasional
chewers. Under the latter class may
be placed school children, who are
not permitted to chew gum during
study hours.
According to the census of 1910
there were in the United states $780,
500 persons between the ages of and
20 years in the 48 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia. OF this number
17,3OO,204 attended school, at least
occasionally, and may be classed as
potentially occasional chewers, leaving
a balance Of 1O,45O,395 as potentially
inveterate chewers Of gum. all under
the age of 20 years. OF course, all of
these may not have been gum chew
ers; equally Of course. inveterate gum
chewers can not be confined to per-
sons under the age of 20. These fig
ures may be taken, however, to show
| that the estimate of 100000 invet-
crate chewers is very conservative.
The latest statistics published by the
Department of Commerce show that
during the calendar year 1918 the
United States imported 13,4O1,315
pounds of chicle. valued at $5.11s.5O0.
Now the word 'chicle' to most people
in this country might be Greek. but
1t isn't. According to the pamphlet
on Mexico recently issued by the Pam
American Union at Washington. d. c.,
the word "chicle" IL of Aztec ORIGIN
and is the name given to the sap O.
the sapote tree, botanically known as
the sapota xapotilla. 1t is this sap
which IL the basis of practically all
the chewing gum used in tint United
States.
The Aztecs Of Mexico are said to
have been the first gum-chewers
known on this. or for that matter any
other, continent. The followers of
Cortex reported that the Indians chew
ed q gum to Quench thirst and relieve
exhaustion. They obtained It from
the sapote tree by tapping. and today
the manner Of gathering the sap is in
close analogy to the process OF gath
ering maple sugar in New England.
