 An intelligent interest in music of the higher order Is everywhere increasing. We'll rounded educators have long since recognized the farreaching cultural value of musical art. There is no con- plete education without music. That Is an outsta nding fact in the most en- frightened countries of Europe. Music is now coming to he appreciated by all individuals identified with school or col leye work in America.
 Like all spiritual things, harmony has it's psychology. More, it has it's gram mar and its rules of analysis and con struction. Melody that stirs the emo tions is the unadOrned language of the soul. Harmony is intellectual to the last degree. but melody and harmony united contribute to the true and the bea utiful as no other educational force does.
 Hence it is that all institutions of earning are giving so much attention to the serious study of music, especially theory and composition. Some of the choicest literature published in recent years has been on musical topics. The universities are making feature of lec- lures on music more than ever.-Bir- mingham Age Herald.

NEW DIVISION NEEDED

- ~ -ftg
 The movement started in Anchor. age for the creation of a new judic' ial division in Alaska with headquar. ters in this city, is not viewed with favor by the Valdez Prospector, which apparently is fearful of losing p0r' of the business brought there by the court each year.
 The Times does not blame the citi, zens of Valdez for hanging on all the court business they can get until their last breath is spent. They need the business, and were it not such costly charity for the people of this city. the Times would gladly advo- cate allowing Valdez to cling to all the returns it is possible to realize from its last resource.
 However, even in opposing the con- tention of Anchorage that a new di- vision is needed here, the Prospector asserts that no revenue is derived from the business at Anchorage. It thus appears to be a dog-in-the-man- ger proposition with them. They do not want our busness, yet they are averse to letting us keep it at home.
 The fact of the matter is there can be no good argument advanced against the creation of new judicial division for the Anchorage district. Ths vicinity is growing rapidly and the busness each year is increasing, and unless relief soon is offered the burden to our people will become in- to,era Times.
