Officials Hope Steam
er's Death List Will
Not Exceed Five.

Eureka, CAL, June 15.-Forty-two
of the passengers and crew Of the
steamer Bear were unaccounted for
tonight, nearly twenty-four hours
after the San Francisco and Portland
Steamship Company's vessel had run
on the rocks Of the Mendocino coast,
Northern California, in a dense fog.
Officials Of the company expressed
hope that the death list would be lin
tied to the five bodies recovered by
sundown. At that time there were
1874 survivors here and twenty-nine
at Capetown, thirty miles to the south
These, with the five known dead, ac-
counted for 1s0 of the 21O aboard
the Bear when she struck.
The steamer, a $1,000,000 coast
wise boat, lay high on rocky beach
near Sugar Loaf Reef, swinging in
the long swells. Her captain, Louis
Nopander, and three members Of the
crew stayed aboard until late to-day.
Fourteen life boats got away from
the Bear in good order. Eleven made
the Blunt's Reef lightship, four miles
away. Two landed at the mouth of
Bear River, near the wreck, and one
capsized and was lost.
Fog and a strong current were the
only reasons given by the ships Of
ficers for the tragedy.

THE BAPTIST PLow.

R. a. McAdams, Of Due West, was
in the city Saturday exhibiting his
recent invention, the Baptist plow.
It gets its name from the fact that
every six feet it scoops out hole in
the cotton or corn row, and then
builds dam across the furrow.
This hole with the aid of the. dam
holds all the water which falls be-
tween the rows and keeps it from
running off and washing the land.
The plow is on exhibition at Dargan's
up-to-date store, where everything
else in the hardware line may be
found. Call and see the plow. It
is worth while.

WILSON SHOCKS s.
PARTY'S GUARD

st. Louis, June 15-President vii
SON is taking charge Of the re-organi-
zation of the Democratic national
committee for the coming campaign.
This morning something of a sensa-
ton was caused among the leaders by
the report, afterwards verified as q
practical certainty, that the new
chairman Of the committee to succeed
VIM. F. McC Combs would be Vance
Met Cormack, Of Harrisburg, Pa.
Mccormack is a progressive" DEM
ocrat, identified with the A. Mitchell
Palmer wing of party organization IN
the Keystone State. It is said that
the President selected him largely
on the Recommendation Of Col. e. b.
House, Of Texas. Nj.
Another sensation came this after
noon when the news got out that the
President has personally fixed upon
Representative Carter Glass, Of Vir-
ginia, chairman Of the banking and
currency committee Of the House, to
be secretary Of the national commit
tee along the Mccormack regime.
Perhaps anticipating that Glass would
be disinclined to accept the position,
the President in . personal telegram
urged him not to refuse.
Urged to Accept.
Representative Glass will probably
accept in Difference to the Prea-
dents wish, but for the way in which
the matter is presented, as veritable
personal draft upon him by the Chief
Executive, the Virginia Congressman

been filed by men Of such national
prominence as the principal author Of
the federal Reserve Act. Mr.. Glass is
now in attendance on the National
Convention, both as delegate from
his own district and as national COM
mitteeman for his State.
Some soreness exists among what
might be determined the old guard Of
the Democracy because it has not
been consulted, as it thinks it should
have been, as to the selection Of the
new chairman Of the national COM
mittee. The picking Of an advanced
of the original Wilson
type without any obligation on his
part to the older leaders does not fill
the latter with joy, though they are
not talking about it for publication.
The selection of Glass, another origi-
nal Wilsonite, as secretary of the
tends to confirm the i'm
preston that the President is run
1ing this campaign to suit himself
and is picking lieutenants whom he
Knows to be of his own way of think
ng all along the line.

istence of the average family. II only
those long winter evenings Of en-
forced monotony could be used to ad-
vantage! But there seemed to be no
help. To be sure, there were oc-
casional school entertainments, but
few of the older ones were ever pre-
sent. Many could not come because
of i'll health, babies, home duties, or
as was often the case, deficiency in
wardrobe. There was, of course, the
school library. But what interest
could most of the books have to the
fathers and mothers with such a
limited knowledge Of reading, and a
still more limited range Of expert
ence?' Beside the interests and
pleasure Of the older ones there was
to be considered the amusement Of
the younger generation which de-
manded entertainment at any price.
The crying need was for some form
IF refining enjoyment which would
reach all and have its appeal to all.
While giving the matter serious
thought the idea of a circulating Vic
trola presented itself. Why not? AS
soon as possible an entertainment
was given at which was raised suffi-
cient money to purchase small Voc
trola, and modest collection Of re-
cords. The effect was wonderful.
Each family could hardly wait its
turn to claim the Victrola, and while
the Victrola was at the house it was
the occasion for friends and relatives,
far and near to come and spend the
evening. The enjoyment and appre.
citation shown were remarkable. Few
If. any, had ever before heard real
music, yet many Of the favorite Sc
lections were from an artistic and
musical standpoint the best.
Through this circulating instru-,
ment hopes are being stirred, the best
in the heart is being brought out as
never could be done by ary other
method in a thousand years. The
people are awakening at last to
vision, and without vision the peo-
pie perish
Our experience has convinced US
that no school community should be
without Victrola or other similar
instrument. Many schools in large
cities have found it indispensable for
games, folk dancing; marching and
for the appropriate celebration Of
school holidays. Too, a number Of
selection have been used with great
success in correlation with the regu-
lar studies, particularly geography
and history.
In this connection, we should like
to present a plan which, as far as our
knowledge extends, is entirely unique
It's successful operation will without
doubt set the example for schools in
other sections. Let there be in
each county a teachers musical or

Musical Education in Schools.
(By Elizabeth Breazeale.)

The wave of enthusiasm for COM
munity and extension work which
is sweeping over the entire South
has never been equalled for pure al
truism and democratic sympathy by
any movement in the worlds history.
In this as in all other issues, how
ever, we are in grave danger of al
lowing ourselves to become so eager
and absorbed in perfecting the means
that we will lose sight of the end
towards which we are striving. To
be specific, it is not enough that the
boy become successful farmer, the
girl a good cook; yet too often the
result of our efforts to leave with
those. whom we are trying to help
the idea that health, prosperity and
physical comfort possess in them
selves absolute value. It is not
enough to insist on the efficiency and
material progress of the individual,
The human animal is possessed OF q
heart and unless the education of the
heart proceed hand in hand with that
of the other faculties the outcome
cannot but be disastrous sooner or
later. !
Nothing offers a more vital or more
perplexing problem than this, and its
solution depends on the teacher,
particularly the teacher in the rural
community. The writer's experience
in trying to find a solution may offer
suggestions to others who are work
ing along similar lines. In our work
as principal of rural graded school
in the upper part of South Carolina
we became daily more and more
appalled, by the drabness, the sordid-
ness, the meagre monotony Of the ex-
