HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
REPORT ON VISITING OF SCHOOLS
BY Margueretta January

On Monday, January fourth, had the
pleasure of observing the work done in
music in the schools of Ypsilanti, Michi-
gan. The largest State Normal School is
located in Ypsilanti, and the work of the
public schools of the town is of very high
order.
One very interesting phase of the work
there was a High School class in "Ele-
ments of Music. This really included
little elementary harmony, history of
music, musical notation and terminology,
and appreciation of music. The text book
used was one by Prof. Gehrkens, one of
my Oberlin professors. This course is
elective and one credit is allowed. Of
course there is some outside preparation
of lessons required. The use of the
phonograph, by means of which the
student becomes acquainted with some of
the great compositions of musical litera-
ture, is large factor in this work.
The music work of the grades present.
ed no unusual features. The Modern
Music Series is used, and 1 noticed that
there was practically no rote work songs
learned by imitauon) done in grades
above the fourth.
My second day of observation was spent
in the Detroit schools. During the morn
ing session l accompanied one of the as
sistant supervisors on her round of visits
in the grades. The Harmonic music |
readers of the Natural Music course, with |
a set of eharts, are used. There was much |
drill work throughout-quite over balanc-
ing the song singing. Nevertheless it
seemed to show splendid results in the |
excellent part singing done by the Eighth |
Grade.
On Tuesday afternoon 1 was taken by
Mr.. Chilvers, Music Supervisor of Detroit,
to hear his Girls Glee Club in one of the
High Schools, and later to hear chorus |
work in Special school.
feel that the two days spent in this
way were of great benefit to me, and 1
iope to accomplish-witht the help of my
'oys and girls-some good work in music

ORIGIN OF ST. VALENTINES DAY
By Susie Kern-'15

There are many people who think that
the fourteenth of February is only dav
on which to send valentines here and
there, and they do not stop to think of
its true origin.
A long time ago there was a priest by
the name of Valentine who was noted
round about the country for his kindness.
He nursed the sick, comforted the sor-
rowing, and was always ready to lend a
helping hand to anyone in need. Valen-
tine dearly loved the children, never
turning away anyone who went to him
for food or clothing.
But kind and good people cannot re-
main young for ever; so it was with Val
entine. He became too old to 20 among
his people, which made him very sad, be-
cause he thought he could be Of no help
to them; but he soon remembered that he
could write loving messages to the sick
and sorrowing. Soon the people began
to watch for his messages, whenever sick
ness or sorrow entered their homes, and
even the children would say, when they
were sick, I think Father Valentine will
send me little letter to-day"
One day the letters seased to come, and

MILTON NEWS

The extra meetings that have been il
progress since the first of the year, close,
abruptly at the M. P. Church on Wed
nesday evening at midnight, after ver'
successful revival. About sixty person
have professed conversion. After thu
close of the meetings at this church, th,
services at the NJ. +. Church which haC
apparently been tagging during the while
took on a wonderful vigor and on Thurs
day evening following nine persons pro
fessed conversion at this church. Fri.
day evening also witnessed a spiritual
Outpour, and many more conversions
were reported On Sunday twenty-five
persons were admitted as probationers
at the M. P. Church, and twenty-five at
the NJ. r. Church. These meetings have
without doubt, done power of good in
the community, the full extent of which
may become more apparent after awhile.
One of the most noticeable facts of the
influence of the revival in the church
membership was apparent on Sunday
morning. During the winter the morn
ing services at the churches have been
attended BY about two or three dozen
persons each; on Sunday morning both
of the churches were well filed by at
tentive listeners, and that means a good
congre cation. Other facts show the
change, and one is led almost to believe
the millennium has dawned in Milton.
AT the M. E. Sunday School on Sunday
Afternoon seventy-two were present, and
nearly all of these were around the altar.
The mems meeting at the NJ. P. Church
also on Sunday afternoon, was well at
tended, the room being crowded. On
Sunday evening interest was undated at
both of the churches; and a glorious
time was experienced. The meetings
will continue at the M. E. Church dur
ing the week, and also at the M. p.
Church. The men S meeting at the NJ.
p. Church will be continued indehnii ely
The enthusiasm engendered by these
meetings is contagious. 1t is the theme
for conversation at the bank in the stores, |
at the shoe shop, at the post Office and |
everywhere that people do congregate. |
May the good work advance.

and made number of clever plays, the
game resulted in a crushing defeat for
the visitors; the score being rs to 5. The
FELTON, girls were not discouraged, how
ever, and declared that it was lack of
practice rather than lack of ability, which
lost them the game. They are anxious
to play Milford again in the near future,
and hope to win. Whether they will or |
not, remains to be seen; but it is a pleas |
ure to play with girls who are not con- ,
tinually finding fault with the referee,
and accept fair defeat with good grace. !

LAURA D. SALEvAN, II

Recently DR.. Layton Grier gave a beau
tiful loving cup to the school. This is to
be given annually to that grade in either
the high or grammar school that has the
highest general average. The cup is a
large silver one with a lining of gold.
and bears the inscription, Presented by
G. Layton Grier, Annual Glass Scholar
ship Prize" 1t is certainly worthy of
competition.
Mr.. Varney has mentioned an honor
that may be won by the grades of the
high school. The present order of leav-
ing the room at morning and at night is
from the 18th grade down to the 9th, but
the grade that has the best department
and the least tardiness during the en-.
suing month, will be permitted to leave
the room preceding all the other grades.
Both department and tardiness need
much improvement and we hope the stu
dents will realize this need.
