to bring particularly to the attention
of this association. The only way
high school orchestra can be main
tanned is by having new members
coming in every year, for the very
simple reason that every year sew
erai members are going out. II the
high school orchestra is to grow as 1t
should and as other orchestras have
grown in other cities about the size OF
Keokuk. interest must be taken In
developing good players. by more
parents and more teachers, and
would make a plea for cooperation
and interested efforts on the part of
every one to whom l am speaking.
There are dozens and dozens of boys
and girls in Keokuk schools today
in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades, who with comparatively little
work become skillful and artistic per
formers on some orchestral instru-
ment.
A conductor of large experience,
Mr. Will Earhart. of Pittsburgh, re
Gently stated that it has been found
by experience that at no time will a
boy or girl learn an instrument so
quickly as during the years he is IN
these four grades in the schools. II
seems to be easier during those years
to learn the technic Of an instrument
than either before or after these
years
With the cooperation Of the teach
ers and parents strong orchestra
can be maintained in the Grammar
school and If the experience of other
cities Is duplicated here, even in
some OF the grade buildings. The
benefits of this orchestral work are
many sided and I wish TO mention
some Of them. First is the benefit to
the child. 1t has become an axiom
with advanced educators and phychol
ogists. that it is the use made of hours
of leisure of children and adults
which largely influence their charac'
ter. and their best development
During the hours of labor every fac
ulty is employed with q specified task
During the hours Of leisure the indf
vidual either selects his occupations
or accepts the recreation most easily
obtained. The practice Of a musica
! instrument alone and with others i
not only an innocent amusement bu
means of the highest culture ant
! of acquiring working knowledge o
the greatest of the arts which music
is. But the player not only benefits
himself BY pursuing this activity
which in itself is only elevating ant
cultural but he is a positive asse
to the home that shelters him to tn
school in which he studies. and Z
the community in which he lives.
Music An Eievatina Recreation
More and more the value of musi
as an elevating recreation Is recos
nized all over the world. In the lare

His opening story was too good to be

to make He asked the advice of his

an experienced after-dinner talker
The reply was, There are but two

Service.

Postmaster Dewey is in receipt of q
communication from the Post Office
Department stating that notice has
been sent the proper officials of Owosso
and. Rush townships Informing them
improvements must be made within go
days to parts of the roads over which
rural carriers and drive. In Owosso
township the road east for three quar-.
ters of mile from the Miner corner
between sections and 8, the mile south
from tho northeast corner of section 8,
the road east to Center street, and q
half mile on the north line of section
east from the center are condemned.
In Rush township the road declared
bad is the two miles running across the
swamp alongside the Ann Arbor rail
road across sections 81 and 80, and a
half mile south on the east side of the
latter section. The order directs that
if improvements have not been made at
the end of go days that recommenda-
tion for change in the service be sub.
mitted to the Department. 1t is thus
incumbent upon the township officials
to see that the roads are put in better
shape if they do not wish to deprive the
residents along these roads, and posi-.

Foundati Walls In.

After experiencing all kinds Of diff.
ficulties in excavating for the founda

tors have finally been able to strike
bottom and have the footings for the
main walls in. The filling in the old
race way. together with the wood work
for the spill ways and water wheels,
etc, made it necessary to go much
deeper with the walls than planned and
the extra expense will be considerable
At one point on the south side the
depth of the wall from the grade down
is % feet and 6 inches heavy timbers
in good state of preservation and
planking being found at depth of "a

for the balance of the outside walls are
in position and will be filled with con.
