"DELIvER THE GOODS"

Deliver the Goods will come to

phrases. 1t is a pure Americanism,
typicaliy so, and is one of those
gems Of trans Atlantic speech that

is instantly recognized by the most

necessary to have recourse to what
is after all American slang in order
to describe q grave and national

gems blood was up, and the result, as shown
in hundreds of modern schools, extended
terms, equipment, etc, forming too lengthy
a statement to be given in detail here, may
at least be expressed in the most cogent of
all terms, money.
During his first year in office the extra
appropriation allowed him was little over
six thousand dollars Continuously waging
his war for more money, Swearingen forced
an increase each year, until last year the
extra appropriation was two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. This year he is de-
manding nearly four hundred thousand dol
lars in extra appropriations and he will
get 1t too.
South Carolina is yet far from a model in
educational work. There are scores of

fore she can rank among the leaders. But

same dollars the greatest educational genius

veal that John Swearingen is blind. He

him for the work he is doing. But back of
those sightlcss eyes, undisturbed by the

from Our tasks, lies vision far more real

healthy, happy children people it, and the

Indeed, some enthusiasts even go so far
as to say that hair and music are heavenly
twins,-both furnished with halo,-and
that to grow hair on an egg all that is really
essential is to teach the egg music, especially
vocal music. The devoteeS of this theory
insist that the vibrations of the voice or in
strument are communicated to the hair fol-
licles, and they in turn secrete a larger
amount of nutrition for the halo. This
theory, however, is negatived by the fact
that many of our best known singers and
musicians go about with the tops of their
heads perfectly naked-that is, after they
lay aside their elegantly constructed wigs.
1t has long been claimed that the ocean
passage on the German ships is attended
with less seasickness than the same passage
at the same time of year on any other lines.
This may or may not be true. The German
vessels pitch and toss with the same debo-
nairabandon, and they have just as good food
as many another line of ships, and no better.
But almost without exception they have
splendid orchestras. And certain accurate
observers have stated that if one is fond of
music, the chances are that he will fill him
self up on it, and incidentally retain pos
session of many more meals than he would
had his attention not been claimed and held
by a very pleasurable form of entertainment.
1t is also alleged that the many wonderful
cures at the baths of Karsbad and other
"Kures" are due as much to the relaxation,
good air, simple food, and excellent music
as to the bad tasting water. The formula
works itself out in this way: To bad water
they add good music result, a decided inn
provement in improbable conditions.
lust what the therapeutic value of music
> may be is of course difficult to deter
mine. So many things enter into "cure"
of any condition that it is impossible to say
what particular thing is entitled to the credit.
But it is no quack S nostrum. 1t will probably
never charm away a tumor, or purge lung
of tubercle bacilli; but it may greatly aid
these, or most other pathological conditions,
by the healthful stimulus it exerts through
the nervous system. 1t is also destined to
play an important part in the prevention
and cure of many diseases fostered by de-
preston or fatigue.
1t may be that the invalid of the future
unlike King Cole of old-rnay omit sending
for his pipe and his bowl, and substitute
something of greater therapeutic value
therefor but he will not neglect to send for
his Fiddlers Three and take the Music Cure
for what ails him.

THE MUSIC CURE

restored the normal rate of vibration in his
patients, that their nerve cells were once
more attuned to the proper pitch andrhythm,
and that this brought about a normal con-
dition of the mind, which in turn reacted
favorably upon afflicted parts of the body.
His method was simplicity itself He
would place mute upon the bridge of his
sweet, brown instrument, and improvise-
as he claimed-a melody to fit each case. In
any event, he rarely repeated his theme,
giving each patient the benefit of an original.
Some of the Music Doctors most remarka-
BILE results were in completely altering the
character of dreams; so that those who had
been harassed by terrible nightmares, or the
exhausting, ngth-robbing fantasies of
the unquiet sleeper, now dreamed-if they
dreamed at all-of pleasant and cheerful ex-
periences. Instead of being chased by a
diplodocus or pair of ferocious ichthyo-
saurs, they now visited the opera, or in
dulged in imaginary banquets of spaghetti
and Chianti wine. Cerratelli's success was
marvellous, and | wonder that his methods
have not been more generally adopted.
However, in New York, less than a year
ago, met world-famous nerve specialist
who was following out the Music Doctors
practice This specialist causes his patients
suffering from stockholders insomnia, or
bridge neurasthenia lie at
ease on couch in dark but well ventilated
room in his sanatorium, while in an adjon-
ing room a nurse plays soothing, quieting
selections upon a phonograph, which is
deadened by having cotton thrust into the
horn. Cello solos, such as the "Traumerei'
of Schumann sacred quartets, and the
beautiful, tender songs of Schubert, he finds
most efficacious in inducing slumber, and
bringing about that physical and nervous
relaxation which permits his patients to ac-
cumulate a fresh store of nervous energy.
In addition to the music, however, he en-
ploys chromatoscopic images-that is, vari
colored lights, thrown on a screen by revolv-
ing prisms; and thus the eye, as well as the
ear, is influenced by what is probably a
form of hypnosis. This practice is so sue
cessful in nervous diseases that it is bound
to be largely used within few years.
AS preventive of certain forms of dis
ease, music must be accorded high
place. For the narrow -chested boy or girl
with tendency toward tuberculosis, and
as a prophylactic measure, nothing excels
a course of study on wind or reed instru-
ment. 1t may be a little rough on the neigh
bors but it will do more to develop lung
capacity and resistance to disease than any
amount of calisthenics or gymnastic exer
cises. And for digestive troubles, especially
where there is lack of tone in the alimen-
tary organs, course of singing and breath

State Superintendent of Education, DIR.
Swearingen began his fight against poverty,
ignorance, and indifference. Thoroughly
familiar with the splendid work being done
in many other States, he fearlessly attacked
conditions in his own. There was scarcely
branch of the existing system that did not
need heroic treatment, and to accomplish
anything he must have money.
1t was an uphill struggle; but Swearin-

DYNAMIC he was, is, and has need to be-.
- The task of providing adequate educa-
tional opportunity for the children OF his
State is a man-size job, as DIR. Swearingen
soon discovered.
South Carolina is rich in tradition but
mighty poor in ready cash. When Swear
ingen entered office the percentage of litter
acy was appalling. In some of the western
counties it reached nearly thirty per cent,
while the average for the State was over ten
per cent.
Under the system then in vogue little was
being done to raise the antiquated standard,
or increase the pitiably inadequate facilities
for properly educating the future men and
women of South Carolina. The money set
aside by law from the tax revenue barely
sufficed to maintain the old standard The
Legislature, from which any additional ap-
preparations must come, was either ignorant
of the imperative need of a radical advance
in the school system of the State, or else in
different to it.

Instead Of seeding timothy alone,

rye, four pounds; meadow fescue, four

about FIVE pounds with the mixture
mentioned above. If the grasses men,
toned above are not available, then a
mixture of twelve pounds of timothy,
eight pounds of common red clover,
four pounds Of mammoth clover and
four pounds of alsike may be seeded.
The grasses should be seeded in the
fall with the winter grain and the
clovers in the early spring when the
frost goes out, or both may be seeded
together with the spring grain. II a
grass-seed attachment to the grain
drill is not available, the seed may be
