THE UNION VOCALISTS

Editors Journal: | heard the
Union Vocalists' on Saturday
night last, and heard GottschaIk and
Patti the night previous, and don't
propose to draw comparisons, but
simply to note effects. Gottschalk
presides at apiano like Prince Roy
al; he sweeps his hand across the
keys with the dash of whirlwind,
and the poor audience sit shivering
and trembling as if they had all just
taken douche bath. Patti, sweet.
beWitching Patti-carols like a.
mocking bird; she trips over four
octaves as easily as lambs skip over
clover blossoms; but after all, She
mocks you with, her wonderful an
tics-you are more astonished and
scared than anything else.
A plain man, plain music suits me.
Simple melody is feast. In that
respect the Union Vocalists'' do
excel. You can just close your eyes
and float away on their melody. The.
soprano is strong, firm and full, and,
the little alto-the purity, sweetness
and innocence'of a child-is discerni-.
BILE in every tone. but being a.
married man, l forbear-only | do
love sweet voice.
The harmony Of the "Vocalists" is
almost perfect. Not since the days.
Of the "Alleghanies" have l heard
it excelled. The effect of four fine
voices melted into one where it is
impossible to tell (which is which,
whether our little alto is singing
that sonorous bass or smooth gliding
tenor, or whether cthe queenly So
prano is doing all of it;-that's the
question!-and near the perfection
of harmony, too.
These singers are strangers tome,
but as children of sweet songs, they
WILDE known and recognized every
where. D

viii Explain Assessment

The tax payers of the Town of
River Falls will be interested to
know that Mr.. Cronk will be in Riv-
er Falls Friday and Saturday of
this week, with the tax roll to ex-
plain to the tax payers the assess
ment made by him and show them
the amount assessed against their
property, BY seeing him before

undoubtedly shorten the session of

an expense to the town. He will
probably be at the office of Jay H /.

School Board Convention

The twelfth annual school board
convention met Nov. IA, in TIL
Ellsworth opera nall. Mr.. Larson,
who represented the state depart
ment, started the people singing as
soon as he had a sufficient number
present to make glad noise. The
teachers present, and many board
members as well, enjoyed this part
of the meeting very much. Mr..
Aasterud had a few remarks to offer
in opening the discussion, chiefly
questions that came to him during
school visits. Mr. Larson's talk on
Powers, Duties and Opportunities of
Board Members and Teachers was
wholesome, sensible presentation of
these vital subjects. He said among
other things that the school board in
way acts as parents to the children
in school. They should confer with
|. the teacher on the progress Of the
school. They should see to it that
she is doing things in an approved
way and then stand right back of
her in working out the problems
that necessarily come up. The teach
err should be business-like in her
dealings with the board. She should
know what she wants and insist on
the board getting clear idea of it's
usefulness. Both teacher and board
should have backbone, not wishbone.
The school is business proposition.
Mr.. Hunt spoke on the Growing
Teacher. The teachers preparation
for her professional work, her
knowledge of her school and helpful
ness in dealing with pupils received
much attention in his talk. Mr..
Hunt is a forceful speaker with vast
experience and this combined with
his unbiased views make him an ex-
ponent of progress in schoolwork.
The first number in the afternoon
was mastery talk on Home and
School Sanitation by DR.. Wood
worth. He showed convincingly that
the much talked Of hygienic and sam
itary measures that we try to heed
in our school work are based on sci
entific knowledge. He discussed the
dangers of impure water and milk
and the fly. He emphasized especi-
ally. the Importance. of good air.
That the doctors talk appealed to
the audience was manifested by the
generous applause. given. !
The talk by Mr.. Hunt on The
School from the Standpoint of the
Child was a plea for better co-opera-
ton and better schools as demanded
by the youth of today who will be
our citizens of tomorrow.
Mr.. Larson spoke on What to
Teach and How to Teach 1t. The
new Course of Study was discussed.
Since Mr. Larson is one of the two
men who framed this new manual
hewas able to give us an idea of the
real functionof SUCH a course. No
teacher who listened to this talk will
be afraid to get outside the text
IN her class work and no one will
hesitate in taking her class outside
the school grounds to learn useful
things first hand.
The meeting closed with questions
and discussion by members present.
