SCHOOLS
Experiment i'm Aurora County Proves
n Success.

White Lake. April 10.-One of the
most successful centralized country
schools in the state is that in Patton
township. the smallest township in
Aurora county in point of population.
A report just made shows hat the
present enrolment of the consolidat-
ed school is 81. having increased ma
terially since the schools of the town
ship were consolidated last fall into
one school, situated in a central 10
cation. There have been no cases of
hardness, and during the severe
weather of January the school was
closed but two days. The centralized
school has three teachers and the
higher branches are taught in addi-
ton to the grades. Other townships
of the county are talking of adopting
the central school idea. In order to
adopt the plan an election must be
held under the laws of the state, and
three-fourths of those voting must be
in favor of the proposition.

MUSIC MAKES HAIR GROW.
Boston Holds Out Hope For the Bald
Among U.s..

Boston.-Bald men, if you would
have your hair return so in for music.
At least that is the cure prescribed by
Or. II. Kenrick Smith, a prominent
Back Bay physician. The peace, har-
mony and joy Of music are what make
musicians hair grow long, according
to DR.. Smith. He says:
"If fright or grief will turn the hair
white. which we all know sometimes
occurs. why is it not perfectly logical
to assume that the opposite extreme,
that is, the tranquility, peace, har-
mOny and joy Of music would tend to
produce an opposite result?
IAN expert statisticlan, after months
Of labor, announces that only one Of
every hundred deyotees Of music is
hairless. while in every other profess
sion eleven in every 100 are bald. This
may, in part, be due to the habit tradi-
tional TO musicians Of always brushing
their hair backward"
