TEACHING THE CF1ILREN 10 SING
Visit During the Music Period in the Ne,Dark Schools

dotted half and the whole notes.
In the first grade room each
day begins with a delightful per-
iod of song. The little ones play
"pipe organ," each child a pipe,
which sounds the exact pitch when
touched by the player, the teacher
They sing charming little songs
about the bluebird, and The snow
flakes, initiating with the unatfect-
ed grace and delight of childhood
the part of the voice they are
singing. One of the exercises
which the little tots seem to en-
Joy immensely is the clapping ex-
ercise, in accent. The teacher
plays strongly accented march
or waltz on the piano, the chill
dren reproducing the accent in a
loud clap, followed by three or
two soft ones, in imitation of the
piano.
In the fifth grade, the visitor
observed the most advanced work,
as she also found the maximum OF
enthusiasm. Forty odd hands
waved repeatedly, in coaxing Gag
erness for the privilege of illus.
trating the various tests. The par
ticular exercise that occupied the
period on the day in question was
as follows: A child with a tune
different from those already givef
raised his hand. Upon a nod from
the teacher he sang the phras'
which Miss Shepardson wrot'
upon the board. When two side
of the room were filled with doz
ems of little melodies, one boy
Bernard Cohen, was given tn
pointer, and permitted to sing tn
, exercises reading from the notes
The intervals were varied and II
regular but the boy made tn
r round without one mistake.
, Several charming little songs
/ sung in clear fiute-like tones, cor
: cluded the days recitation.

 DOLLARS WORTH OF GOOD

 I had the worst case of rheumatism that has ever been seen in this part of Illinois. Every one so pronounced it who saw me and Hays Specific ac- tuallv cured me. I took three bottles and was able to work. I took about twelve bottles in all and it was worth twenty-five dollars bottle to me.

forbids that we should describe the re sulting conquest scored by My Lady Nicotine.
 During the course of her adventures after she fees from Italy, Peppina be- comes a stowaway on shipboard where she has many exciting experiences ill the steerage. After landing in New York, Peppina becomes a bootblack and the camera has caught Mary Pick ford in the act of polishing the shoes of super" She is also made the general errand "boy" and drudge of gang of counterfeiters who later turn out to be the very men who had kid mapped Peppina when she was baby.
 All the opening scenes of the picture take place in Italy. It is worthy of note that all the characters who ap- pear in these scenes are bonafide Ital- ians who were picked by Director Sid ney Olcott from list submitted to him by Cesare Gravina, distinguished Italian actor, who has already appear ed in several Famous Players produc- tions. Some of these players could not even speak a word of English and ey- cry bit of instruction which they re- ceived had to be translated to them by one of their own countrymen.
 But another purpose was also served by the using of these Italians in the picture. As the story makes clear, Peppina is not really an Italian child, but an American, Lois Torrens, whose parents lived in Italy when she was born. When she was mere baby, she was kidnapped in a spirit of revenge and the Torrens family, after failing to find any clue regarding her where abouts, leave Italy and return to Amer | ica.
 Little Lois is taken to the home of relatives of one of the culprits and forced to work as household drudge, like all the children in the family. Hearing nothing but Italian spoken, and being too young to remember Ter American parents, Lois, who is now called "Peppina," regards herself as a genuine Italian girl.
 In order to stamp the fact that Pep pima is not really an Italian but has simply become Latin in her manners by reason of association with her self inflicted guardians, the bonafide ltal- ians are of inestimable value.
 i But the preparation of Miss Pickford for that portion of the film ill which she plays the boys will undoubtedly cause mingled feelings of triumph and alarm among those in the audience according as they are over-sophisticat ed or oyer-crodnlous. For there is a scene in which the far-famed Pic,,ford ] tv.,sses gre shawn in rte hands O. ,
