SHOCK TO NEUTRALS
Firm stand of President Wilson APP
proved by Argentine Press.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 22.-The first
statement of American Secretary
of State Lansing caused officialdom
here to close up clam-like. His subse-
quent modification failed to restore
talkativeness. Officials evidently con-
sidered the situation too delicate to
discuss.
Neither the Wilson note nor the
Lansing statements have yet material
ly affected South American markets.
A majority of traders do not ex-
pect any speedy results from either.
Press comment is typical of this
view. Editorials agree that the note
is valiant and sensible and expresses
the sentim entS of belligerent peoples
as well as neutrals." The newspapers
agree that the diagnosis President Will
son seeks is obviously necessary to
cure the present disease.

The desire to be beautiful is a nor

Schools Have OrChGStraS
Profit and Entertainment in Il

Miss Maud orita Wallace, super
visor of music in the public schools
of Mexico, has lately introduced a
unique yet pleasing way to teach
small children time and rythm. The
children are pleased to call it an or
chestra, and such it is, for each child
has his turn at the various cymbals,
triaDgles, castinets, nitingales, cuck-
oos and various instruments with
which to keep time with music. When
the teacher accompanies them on the
piano their Joy is complete. Some
of the boys have drums, and one
boy has put together
some springs and wires in such an
inventive way as to have distinctly
individual instrument. With a doz-
en- or more in the orchestra and the
remainder of the room singing, the
effect is quite pleasing.

Such methods as this will event.
ually result in better marching
among the grade children. One of
the most difficult things to teach is
the military hep. 1t comes only
after a long period of folk dancing
and training, such as the primary
grade is now receiving.
This orchestral experiment will de-
velop time and rythm to the extent
that our youngsters will do better
stepping in the next parade, or the
fire drills which should be inaugura-
ted in our schools. For some time
our schools have been adorned with
fire escapes, and the fire drin is to
be the next innovation.
The above is a suggestion for the
rural schools. why can't any of
them organize an orchestra? There
is profit and entertainment and fun
in it.
