The Entire Nature
of a Child May
Be r e IN O u d e d
7 n rou gh Music,
Say These Music
Educators.

of man or woman cannot successfully
teach all children. There is an excel
lent example of this in the music
school, where one will often find teach
ers and children out of harmony, teach
ers who give up and declare that they
cannot manage the child. and children
who cannot learn from their instruc-
tors. When this occurs the teacher is
changed but the child is never sent
away. SO should il re with all who
wish their children to study music.
If you discover that your little girl
or boy and their teacher are not in
harmony with one another, make a
change in the teacher, and if you have
TO do this twenty times before the
right one is found. do it cheerfully
rather than sacrifice the spirit and
perhaps the future mode of expression
and conduct of your chld's life.
When should a child begin with
music? That is a question asked nearly
every day. The answer is: in the
cradle. II is the serious duty of every
mother toward her child to sing to it.
Yet will you find the nursery song
hummed and crooned in many families
to-day?
True. there are some mothers "old-
fashioned" enough to sing 10 their
little ones, they hum the nursery
rhyme, the negro melody. These things
cling to the child through life, and
they give it the frst "attuning" to
music. One reason we have so many
children to-day who are utterly in
capable of carrying an air, who are
really "tuneless," one might say, is be-
cause of the lack Of this early home
singing.
This musical retrogression is di-
rectly due to the women. Into
their lives have entered certain ele-
ments of social and business affairs
that rob the home of repose, the
twilight hour of peace and quiet,
the close family communion of in
terests is gone, with it has disap-
peared the nursery song, even with
il arc going the nursery tale and
legend that form the basis OF the
folksong. In foreign countries you
will find folklore and folksongs be-
cause the repose still exists in the
home, and until our mothers look
to this side of home life we are 60
ing to remain a people without
folksongs or story tradition.
There is no doubt that the music
school movement mas met with ex-
traordinary success. That the young
folk want to play and love music is
proved conclusively through the fact
that hundreds are yearly turned away
because there is not room for them,
nor accommodation for their work.
This predicts, beyond doubt. that in
some wears we will have a community
of splendid amateurs. Just think OF
il In FIVE years thirty sister schools
have sprung up over the country,
teaching thousands OF students! 1t IS
to say that without doubt
in ten years every town and city in
the country will have a music school.
There must be some human interest
for the sake of our social relations
that shall fuse our separate lives, and,
If signs are to be depended upon,
this fusion of brotherhood will come
through music.

nounces City's "Educa-

TEACHERS'REPRESSION
MISTAKE, HE ASSERTS
Says Maze of Rules Tends to
Eliminate the Inspiration
of Personality.
BY HENRIETTA RODMAN.

That was fine speech Mr.. Church,
made at Columbia on Friday.
"The greatest problem Of education
to-day" he said, sis the injection Of
enough of the living spirit Of the time
to keep the school alive and adaptable
to use.
"All the signs OF the times indicate
that we are repeating one Of those his
toric phases in which the gap he.
tween what the world demands and
what the schools provide has become
so wide as TO compel universal atten-
ton.
I'm 1898 the educational high priests
of the municipality of New York con-
structed a system.
They did not first make any study
Of New York children or their needs,
of the life opportunities open to young
men and women. In the seclusion OF
their offices, surrounded with courses
Of study borrowed from other sys-
TENS, guided by internal logic and the
assumption of inner consciousness,
they built the curriculum of the peo-
pies schools.
ITO the Bowery as well as to Brook
lyn, came this finely jonted. many
/ stored, richly ornamented course %
study for rich and poor, fast and
slow exceptional and subnormal For
each and all the same, unchanging, TN
changeable. This is education they
said. Cut off every day little pieces or
1t. Pass them out. Send the child
home to null over them. Tomorrow
see if they are in his head. At inter
walls we shall send searchers 70 exam
inc how much has been lost
Year after year the protest of in
telligent citizens increased against the
teaching of the schools The knocking
at the doors of the guardians OF this
ancient folderol fell on ears stuffed
with the soft cotton of self-ccm-
placency. A complainant was a dis
turber.
But the right and lawful function
OF the schools is TO train citizens able
to make their own way and 70 con-
tribute 10 the common good. This aim
cannot be reached by rigid courses OF
study and repressed teachers.
THE teacher Of twenty-five years ago
was much more unrestricted in the csc
Of her teaching time than was tlc
teacher of 1912. But may il not be
that with a minimum of dictation there
was an amplitude of inspiration, that
there was less risk Of the teacher be-
coming a cog on a wheel and more
likelihood that the school was vitalized
by the teachers personality, with the
teachers enthusiasm, and that there
was transmitted something spiritual,
without which education is dross?
eve are coming TO realize that an
education based wholly on books, on
suitability FOR introduction to a learned
profession, is a moral and economic
waste for a people concerned, in so
vast a majority, with trade and in
dustry"

i0DIDE OF NITROGEN.
An Explosive So Deadly That to Make It Is Suicide.

An Explosive So Deadly That to Make
 It Is Suicide.
 Explosives are solids which under certain conditions suddenly change into heated gas occupying many times the original space of the solids.
 Ordinary gunpowder when fired turns into gas, of which the volume is 4,OOO times as great as that of the powder. No, wonder the bullet in front of 1t leaves the muzzle of the rife in hurry.
 Today there are scores, even hun dreds, of different sorts of explosives known to science. Some, such as lyd- dite, require a very considerable shock to explode them. Others, such as ni- troglycerin, are fearfully dangerous to handle. for few extra degrees of warmth or a very slight jar is suf1- cient to turn them instantly into gas.
 Of the latter type there is nothing quite so unstable as iodide of nitrogen. It has to be made in alcohol. When allowed to dry it appears as brown powder, and so unstable is this pow der that . touch with feather will set it oR. The experiment has been tried of leaving few grains upon a table mixed with a few grains of sugar. The first bluebottle that flew on the table and began to crawl among the grains caused an explosion.
 The mere jarring of the air by loud shout or a heavy footstep ia sufficient to. o.detonate iodide of nitrogen, and 1t need hardly be added that no one in his senses would attempt to make this terrible stuff. To do so in any quantity would be equivalent to con- hitting suicide.-Pearson's Weekly.

The First Canal Builder.

General Goethals is the latest canal builder to achieve fame, but he has had many predecessors, and the earliest so far as is known was one Naram- Sin, who nearly 5000 years ago open ed a canal from Nippur to the Eu- pirates. This was discovered by Dr.. George A. Barton In deciphering some of the ancient Sumerian tablets at the museum of the University of Pennsyl- vania. He found tablet dated "the year when the divine Naram-Sin opened the mouth of the canal Erin at Nip pur." This was not an Irish canal. so far as is known, but it was great event in the history of Nippur, which gave it transportation facilities with the rest of the world. Naram-Sin was a king of Babylonia, and he is respon- sible only for financing the canal, and slaves probably did the work.-Balti- more American.

Deadly Havoc the Change Will Enact
 Upon Our Poor Planet.
 If the sun should go out how long would it be before darkness would ap- pear on the earth?" asks reader.
 Eight minutes, eighteen seconds and five hundred and sixty-six one-thou- sandths of second!
 At the end of that brief interval of time the blue curtain of day would dis appear as if an almighty hand had snatched 1t of. and the dome of night, spangled with stars, would instanta- neously arch the earth. We would be plunged into darkness so quickly that for moment nothing would be visible. Then the piercing rays of the stars would begin to affect our eyes, and aft CT that gradually, our immediate sur roundings would dimly emerge from the gloom. There would be starlight, but no moonlight, for the moon shines only with reflected sunlight
 At first the disappearance of the light would be the thing most troublesome to us, but as time went on a chill would begin to creep over the sunless earth, and out of the dark and frozen air, all around the globe, a pallid snow would descend. as the atmospheric moisture condensed When days and weeks had elapsed the awful cold of outer space would chill the atmosphere down to the earth's surface and animal and vegetable life would alike perish in the endless winter of universal night!-Garrett P.

BRINGING UP CHILDREN.
There Are Some Curious Customs In
 This Queer World.

There Are Some Curious Customs In
 This Queer World.
 There has been much discussion over the proper bringing up of children, but ideas continue to differ. And the far ther you get away from home the stranger the ideas seem.
 The Filipino father cries out with proud delight as his three-year-old girl baby takes her puff at her first cigar Among the Seri Indians of the gulf of California the father is the last one expected to have any influence on the children. The mother rules the young CT members of the family, and when she must enforce her authority by physical force she calls. not on the ia ther, but on one of her brothers or some other male adult of her family. The father must never chastise his chil- dren.
 A Navajo father administers punish ment to his children very much as any other father does. but the Navajo boy has means of protection denied to white boys. He has only to catch a rat by his own unaided efforts. From the moment he has accomplished this feat, no matter how young he mayS be. his father may not lay hands on him.
 The children of the Point Barrow Eskimos have special training in po- liteness to foreigners. In conversing with strangers who make mistakes in the native dalect children must care fully note those mistakes and repeat them, even to initiating the wrong pro- nunciation of words. To speak correct. ly in such a case is likely to bring pun ishment from the parent of the child | New York Sun.

ACTION OF PEROXIDE.
It cleansss a Wound, but Does Not Aid In the Healing Process.

In the Healing Process.
 'Tt would be well for people to un- derstand what peroxide of hydrogen will do and what it will not do." re- marked a dentist just after extracting two old roots on which large abscess had formed. Tt Is one of the best, if not the very best, antiseptics we have, but 1t has no healing qualities. Many people imagine that 1t will heal a sore place in the mouth. yet that Is just what it will not do.
 q have just injected peroxide and water into the cavities in the gums from which I extracted those roots. l did that to destroy the pus that had been left behind by the 'abscess, for that is the use of peroxide. It unites chemically with the pus and kills the germs that make it. But this is all that it does. And if you continue to use it you will retard the healing in- stead of hastening it. Peroxide. i'm properly used, has injured almost as many mouths as it has benefited. The sore place in your mouth is clean now, and all it needs is something to keer it clean while nature heals it. Perox- oxide will not do that-in fact, it will retard it."
 The dentist then prescribed heal ing wash. There are many such on the market, but. any one having a tooth pulled is foolish to select his oWn.-New York World.

Accord. ing to Mommsen. the "Italf' proper were the inhabitants of the southern part of the country. As to the origin of the name, there is the normal leg end of King Italus. but his name must have been pronounced vitalus and Vitulus, which means a bufl calf, and 1t is easy to recognize in it an al' fusion to Italy as the land of cattle.- Spectator.
