VOCAL TRAINING
FOR STUDENTS
UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL
CO-OPERATES IN ADVANCING
WORK OF THAT DEPT.
Miss Mary Petcina, Assistant Superyis-
of Music to Aid Miss Kendrick-
Making Good.

Ever since the middle of the winter
| the public schools of Moscow and the
University of dIaho have co-operated
to some extent in the matter of hav-
ing university students who are pre-
pairing for the profession of teaching
! do practical work in the schools of
the city. One of the most successful
of these arrangements is that by which
Miss Mary Petcina is twice a week
| acting as an assistant to Miss Ken
| drick, the supervisor of music in the
| Moscow schools. Miss Petcina is a
member of the senior class and has
taken a great deal of work in the de-
partment of pedagogy. She has taken
from Mr.. Storer the training in the
| ory and practice in the two-year
school music course. This winter she
was given an opportunity to observe
the work of Miss Kendrick, to teach
under her direction, and she is now
taking charge of some of the music
work in the Irving school and the
old high school while Miss Kendrick
is engaged in other buildings
The plan has been most successful,
and is giving general satisfaction. In
the opinion of Miss Kendrick the
scheme is an excellent one and per-
mite n,ucb cIocar crnarvicioo of +ha
instruction in music and, of course,
much more training for the children.
Every Thursday afternoon Miss Pet
Gina has charge of the music lesson in
the sixth grade in the Irving school.
On Wednesday mornings she divides
her time among the class rooms in
the old high school. After a number
of weeks spent in observing Miss
Hendricks work, Miss Petcina was
given the task of dealing with a group
of pupils who sing in a monotone and-I
whose ear can not detect differences
in pitch and tone. In the endeavor
to improve their musical ear, Miss
Petcina met with gratifying success.
She is now teaching sight reading,
of rate songs, and pitch
memory. She will probably assist
Miss Kendrick in the preparation of
the operetta, Sylvia
Miss Kendrick makes fattering re-
ports of Miss Petcinas skill in handl-
ing children, her tactfulness, her eX-
cellent discipline, her ample training |
for the work, and her great natural |
talent in music.
Miss Petcina is extremely grateful I
for the opportunity to get experience
in her chosen work under so able
and successful a director as Miss
Kendrick and feels certain that what
she is learning will be of inestimable
value to her in her profession.
AS the city of Moscow is thus able
to secure free of charge the competent |
services of an assistant supervisor of
music, it is generally said that the
system deserves the endorsement and |
which the board of
.rustees evidently gives it.

ALL FOOLS DAY.

<AA1A< = " ~ -
The first of April Is All FOOLS
Day, when 1t is an almost uni
yersal custom throughout
: ChristendOm to play more or
less asinine tricks upon ones
neighbOr. OF the origin of this
custom nothing positive is
known. All FOOLS Day is far
older than the time of Christ.
The most plausible conjecture is
: that which ascribes the origin
to the custom to France. This
nation took the lead over all
others in commencing the new
year on Jan. /, instead of Mar.
: 25th. Before the change was
. made the merry making culmin-
ated on the octave of the feast,
: April 1st, when visits were paid
and gifts bestowed. With the
adoption of the reformed calen-
dar in 1854 New Years Day
was carried back to Jan. 1st,
and only pretended gifts and
mock ceremonial visits were
made on April 1st, with the view
of making fools of those who
had forgotten the change of
date. The custom once started,
was kept up after its origin had
been forgotten. It's existence
was helped on by the fact that it
appeals to an integral part of
human nature, which has as
serted itself at all times and In
all Countries
