Music F0R The CHILDREN
nish Free Photograph Concerts
to Rural Schools.

Rural school music by parcel post
is plan recently devised by F. A
Beach, director of music at the state
normal school at Emporia- Rural
schools of Kansas may now have q
series OF concerts lasting three days
for total cost varying from thirty
nine cents to 81.
Mr. Beach's plan is to prepare a pro-
pram adapted to rural schools and
send it out on phonograph records. &C.
companied by the latest make of ma
chine. The entire outfit is contained
in two boxes, and is sent freeSfor three
days to schools which are willing to
pay the postage. More than fifty
schools of Kansas have requested the
use of these machines. 1t is expected
that eight hundred to one thousand
rural schools will be visited with mu-
sic this winter.
The programs were made up from a
group of more than seventy-five selec-
lions. A special committee was ap-
pointed by the normal school last
spring, which visited a large number
of rural schools in the country, and
tested the music. The program is
largely made up by the vote of the
children.
The first day of the rural school con-
cert series is devoted to arousing in
terest in the music. The pieces are
played and the children allowed to
make comment. The second day the
music is repeated, and the teacher dis
cusses each piece and points out the
parts of special interest. The third
day is given to a joint program by
children and the photograph, and the
parents are invited. The children are
taught to sing many of the simpler
pieces, and singing games. The
marches are to develop the rythmic
instinct. The William Tell overture is
used for it's imaginative content. Since
nearly all rural school children have
been found to be infants musically,
simple singing games and Mother
Goose are introduced into the pro-
gram.

mir. WILSON'S STAND
Presidents Position on Tariff Is
Important
Country Can Only Hope That He Will
Recognize the Failure of the I'm
derwood Law and Use His In
huence to Remedy II.

As President Wilson wrote to
James M. Cox a month ago, the
United States possesses in the depart
ment of commerce and the federal
trade commission agencies empow-
cred to collect all the Information the
congress needs to write scientific"
tariff law. The scientific tariff COM
mission" is an inconsequential incl
dent, which cannot be raised to the
dignity of a political issue The coun-
try will not be interested in it, and
for an excellent reason.
What absorbs the attention of the
business community is the presidents
attitude toward the law now in force
Does he still believe, as he did year
ago, that it should be left unamended
until normal conditions" are re-
stored? Is he still unconvinced that
its failure was not thoroughly dem
onstrated by its operation previous
to August 1, 1914? Does he imagine
that the establishment of peace in Eu-
rope will reinstate the normal con-
ditions" that obtained until the end
of July last year?
The Underwood law was discredited
in peace, and war has changed the
situation of commerce and business.
The end of the military struggles
will still further alter our circum-
stances. Already the lessons are writ
ten for those with sufficient wit to
learn them. The menace of an in
dustrial struggle of unprecedented in
tensity is over our manufacturers and
merchants, their workers and all who
are dependent on them. Has Mr..
Wilson recognized it, or is he blind
to the danger on the one hand and in
sensible to the wonderful opportunity
on the other?
With a tariff adjusted to its needs
and its situation, with schedules de-
signed to meet the facts of business
and not the economics of the hustings.
the United States can regard with
confidence the assaults Industrial Eu-
rope will launch when it stops killing
its men; but with the Underwood law
in force, this nation will be at the
mercy of the most skillful and des-
perate competitors ever known.

Tariff Must Be Revised.

That tariff revision is necessary
cannot be disputed. Everything shows
it. That 1t should be performed I'M
derstandingly has only to be stated.
That all the means exist for assist
ing congress in performing its duty
the president points out. There is a
way. and all necessary is a will.
1t is very plain. therefore. that if
congress at the coming session does
nothing with the tariff-lets the reve-
nues continue to run behind and the
treasury deficiency grow-the tariff
issue in next years campaign. II do
nestle issues dominate. will easily
lead the procession.

PLEADS FOR KANSAS BABIES

She referred to the fight against the
