SCHOOL NEWS
Rural Week a Big Success.

|
Last week was rural week for the
Normal students who are preparing
themselves for rural teachers. This
idea was conceived by the fertile
brain of Prof. Pittman who felt that
the training teachers ought to get in
to the typical rural school. Arrange
ments were made with the officials Of
five counties and as a result one hun
dred twenty-five of the students spent
a week observing and working in
rural schools.
Superintendent Crowley and Pro-
fessor Pittman visited seven of the
fourteen schools on Thursday and Su-
pervisor Moore with members of the
rural supervision class of the Normal
visited the various schools during the
week.
On Saturday the visiting students
and i'll most cases the teacher they
had been with, Superintendent Crow
ley, Supervisor Moore and Mr.. Even
den Of the Oregon Normal met at
the Elkins school for a rally. About
thirty people of the Elkins vicinity
helped to make up the audience.
Superintendent Crowley called the
meeting to order at $50 and made a
pleasing address of welcome. This
was followed by singing, which was
led by Miss Grace Williams. Super
visor Moore then gave an address on
professional Preparedness and Per-
formance," which was full of good
advice for the teachers.
The balance of the morning was de-
voted to discussions by the teachers !;
each visiting teacher gave the good
points about the teacher and school
she had visited. These talks were an
swered by the teachers who told of
the assistance rendered by the stu
dents.
Every one seemed to be happier and
professionally stronger as a result of
the week. work and many expressed
their desire to have two weeks Of the
same work next year.
The following program was given in
the afternoon by the Normal students:
Reading, Miss Rorick; club drill,
Misses Levens, Filbur, De Carrie, Ar
mold, johnson; solo, Miss Pratt; SUI
pervisors' talks, The School of To-
morrow, Miss Lloyd, Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Bowman; ukelele trio, Misses
Tomlne, Dawson and Rorick; a
playlet, "Tattle Tales" student
group; song, America.

Jupiter, the god of mythology, who
was supposed to control the rain and

only throw the bolts of lightning, but

CHORUS TO SING CREATION
Rev. Mackenzie Tells of Great Ora
torio: More Voices Wanted.

The great standard oratorio, 'The
Creation" which has proved second
only in popularity to "The Mes
siah" by Handel, was composed by
Haydn. "Never was so pious as
when composing "The Creation" said
HAYDN. ~ knelt down every day
and prayed God to strengthen me for
the work" "The Creation" met
with immediate success, and has been
sung in all parts of the civilized
world.
Five characters are represented in
"The Creation: Gabriel, Uriel, Ra-
phael, Adam and Eve. The overture
represents chaos, out of which order
is gradually developed. A short reel
tative by Raphael, "In the begin
ming" leads to chorus, "And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters" reaching an impress

downpour came, the company went to
the location. Mr.. Peters and Miss
Stedman were in one car and one had
just remarked to the other that it was
to get a lightning effect
in that flood, when bolt came out of
the clouds, hit the tree and sent i;
crashing in front of the automobiles.
No one knows how it was done but
Henry, and after he had been ques-
toned while the members of the com
pany were drying out, along about
three in the morning. he refused to
tell. but it was said to be the most
realistic lightning flash ever on
the screen-not even excepting the
real article.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1917-02-27

sive climax at the words, "And there
was light" The whole of the first
part is given to the establishment
of order among the elements. Raphael
describes the making Of the armament
and the separation of the land and
water in a recitatiye, leading into
the beautiful aria Rolling in Foam
ing Billows," in which the music rep
resents every effect of the water,
from the roaring billows to the mr1r-
muning of the limpid brook. Then fol-
l. lows the aria by Gabriel: With Yer
dure Clad" the establishing of night
and day described by Uriel, leading
to the magnificent chorus: "The
Heavens are Telling" in which full
chorus and orchestra are employed
with splendid effect.
The second part relates the creation
of the various living creatures: birds,
fish, four-footed animals, down to the
hosts of insects, and finally the worm.
Then comes the creation of Adam and
Eve in the beautiful air, "In Native
Worth - This part ends with Choir
us of great power: "Achieved is the
Glorious Work" in fugue form, and
closing with "Gloria and "Halle-
lujah" of majestic proportions.
The third and last part is devoted
to the praise of the Almighty for the
work accomplished. This part con-
tains the pleasing duet between Adam
and Eve, "Graceful Consort." The
oratorio ends with the chorus: "Sing
the Lord We voices ALL" laudamus
of great beauty in which the solo
voices are set off against the choral
and orchestral parts with striking ef-
feet.
This glorious oratorio is offered to
the musical people of Dallas by Mr..
Joseph Finley, musical instructor OF
the Dallas public schools, at a cost
to those taking part so small as to be
merely trifing. 1t is the opportunity
of life time to study so grand q
musical composition as "The Orator
TO- and Mr.. Finley, who has taught
this oratorio to twenty large Choir
uses, is unusually competent to give
the Dallas singers full value for their
time and energies. The oratorio is
being rehearsed every Friday even
ing in the auditorium of the High
school, beginning at 7:3O p. m. sharp,
and continuing for an hour and thir-
ty minutes. Every singer in Dallas
who has ambition to master the work
of great master composer like
Haydn, is invited to join the chorus
at once. You will never regret the
time and effort bestowed on so grand
musical composition as Haydn's:

Latest War News

In the region of Riga the German
forces drove back the Russians fol-
more than a mile and captured 1900
men. In turn, the Russians gained a
considerable victory over the Bull
garian forces on the Danube.
The big battle between the Ger
mans and Russians over the frozen
Tirul marsh southwest of Riga con-
tinues undated. Further progress for
the Germans along both sides of Aa
River is reported by Berlin, which
claims an advance over a front of
about six miles and the capture of
Russian fort, positions, together with
the fourteen officers and LIZA men
and thirteen machine guns. Petro-
grade admits that southeast of the
river the Russians have had to fall
back third of mile, but says the
attacks by the Germans on the
marsh were repulsed.

The State Fair Secretaryship.

Col. Ike Dunn. of Danville, de-
clined election to the position of
State Fair Secretary at the meeting
of the State Agricultural Board at
Frankfort this week, and Fount Kre-
mer was elected Secretary. Col.
Dunn was out of the race when he
found that the secretary would have
to give all of his time to the office,
and the clever Colonel is too busy
getting high prices for tobacco grow
ers on his market at Danville to de-
vote all his time to the state fair.
He would have made an ideal secre-
tary, however. Many friends here
were disappointed when popular Bob
Elkin, of the Lancaster Record, did
not land the place. 1t looked like it
might have been a good move to have
picked newspaperman of state
wide acquaintance like Bob Elkin for
such a responsible position, rather
than man who is practically un-
known out in the country districts.
The Blue Grass fair at Lexington
made a ten-strike when it named
Denny B. Goode as Secretary. There
isn't a country newspaper man in the
state but would work his head off to
help Denny make a success of his
Lexington fair and the same would
have been true had Bob Elkin been
placed at the head of the State Fair.
