Music Of the Chinese.

Chinese music does not entirely lack
admirers among occidentals There
are, it appears, trained musicians of
our own kind who seriously profess
uncertainty whether the Chinese have
not really advanced beyond US in mu-
sic.

the Chinese were the first in the his
tory Of music to develop a system OF
octaves. circle of fifths and various
other harmonical technics, and these

who claim to have discovered among
the musicians and lovers of music a
steadily increasing sensitiveness to
harmonies the existence OF which was
formerly unknown.

Being dead is not as black as it
Is painted. There are as many good
looking girls In the realm OF the dead as
the living. There are quite as many
delightful people" This statement.
according to Henry Hotchner, theoso-
phist, comes from the bourne from
which no traveller returns" It was
made, through the psychic medium of
youth Of nineteen who died recently.
The lad told of seeking the sidesof his
mother and sisters. Chief earthly
congregating places Of the spirits OF
the dead in great numbers are about
organs in churches and in meetings,
where men are trying ito pierce the
veil which separates them from the
other world" So the medium says.

Ventilate The School Rooms

School children need well ventilated
school rooms. Ventilating conditions
are usually all right in the late spring,
the early summer and the early fall,
As the weather gets cold the fires are
started, the windows come down., the
storm windows and doors are put in

heated school room was very trying.
The new yentilating systems are ef.
forts to improve conditions. A per.
feet system of ventilation Is as yet
only q matter of theory. No ventilat.
ing system has yet been invented
which provides an adequate air sup,
ply. Any In use that does not permit
the opening OF the windows for the
admission OF fresh air Is decided
failure, as any school room in the new
school buildings In West Virginia will
show. for the air is too warm and
very foul. 1t is no wonder that the
children have colds. 1t would be a
greater wonder If they did not. There
Is still great need for open windows
to let out the bad air and let in the
good, pure air.
At best no artificial scheme of ven,
tilation will ever in all probability,
equal outdoor conditions in promoting
human health and happiness.
The temperature of the occupied
parts of school room should not be
allowed to 60 higher than IS degrees
F. at any time when the heat is on.
II the window panes in the room do
not frost when the outside tempera-
ture goes to 20 degrees, there is not
enough humidity.
It takes 5000 cubic feet of fresh air
for one person for one hour.
During the recess periods the air In
the room should be blown out by rails.

the doors. This blows out contagion
OF all kinds. It freshens the air and
makes it bracing. The students have

It's up to Americas and Sumter
county to cough up $3.50 in cold cash
if they wish to continue farm demon
stration work in Sumter county. This
sum must be raised Immediately, or
Uncle Sam will withdraw his demon
stration agent and send him to a
more appreciative community. In or
der to continue the work this sum
must be raised to augment the salary
Uncle Samuel is paying the agent and
to secure the services of an expert
canning club agent.
Several months ago the state agent
of the federal department of agricu!-
ture visited Americas and was assured
that the funds needed would be raised
But the move stopped with that. It's
up to the city to make good its pledge
ard secure the services of the agent
for another year right now.
The work that is being carried on
BY the demonstration agent speaks for
itself. Few if any farmers will deny
that the work is of great benefit to
them. The day of haphazard farming
has gone and the farmers are eager
to learn the modern scientific metLo DDS
The farm demonstration agent is able
and dots help them master the most
up-to-date plans of getting a liveli-
hood out of mother earth.
The proposed work of the canning
club demonstrator is new thing for
Sumter county. But the success Of
the canning clubs elsewhere stands
sponsor for the movement, just as
the boys corn club has kept the boys
on the farm and help make scientific
farmers out of them, SO will the girls
canning club instruct the girls of the
farm and make expert housewives OF
them.
To let the demonstration agent leave
Sumter county and go into some other
community that is willing to help I'M
Gle Sam pay him for his time will be
step backwards. Sumter county and
Americas are on forward march and
cannot afford to take single step
backward.
In case the money is raised the
demonstration agent will devote all Of
his time to the work in the county.
Heretofore he has been working fos
the good of Sumter but three days of
the week Henceforth, if the money
is forthcoming, he will put in six days
work with the farmers Of Sumter.
