STANDARDIZATION Of sen8@
MAKING PROGRESS
By verna Waterman

Among recent methods OF securing
the beiterment Of rural schools. stand
ardization has come to be considered
one Of the most practical Standard
nation means simply . system Of grad-
ing the efficiency OF the schools and
setting an ideal which they may strive
to attain. In this section OF the coun-
try where II is 50 often imprzticable
TO recognize the one-teacher schools
as centralized graded schools this
plan OF grading seems especially feas-
ible. 1t appeals to the local self-re-
spec; and pride in the school and CON-
munity and stimulates local Initiative.
One OF the most praisworthy features
of the plan is that IL holds excellent
aims before the pupils. teachers,
school boards. and patrons generally.
Some one has said. 1T is wiser to
tempt people to do right than to pro
hibit them from doing wrong" and
Mrs Bradford says. The tempting to
do right is the function that standard
ization tries TO reform"
The aims OF this movement arc
broad and far reaching. On the score
card used in the grading provision is
made for: suitable grounds and well
lighted and comfortably furnished
buildings; the social welfare Of the
children and others in the community
through the use of the school house
as a social center: high ideals. thoro
preparation and strong personality
as a part OF the teachers equipment;
cooperation OF the children in the
care of the grounds and buildings
and in raising the standards OF punctu-
atty and regular attendance.
About half dozen states proceeded
Colorado in this new endeavor to i'm
prove our rural schools. They report
good results from the use OF this plan,
as do also the districts OF our own
state where II has been tried.
According to the Colorado plan the
schools are divided into three classes:
probationary schools which score IS
per cent. approved schools which score
IS per cent and superior schools
which score 80 per cent. At present
Cunnison county has two approved
schools. the school at Marble and
"Fairview" in district ten. Other dis
tricts are making strides toward
Standardization. May the time speed
fly come when. all the schools Of the

MUSIC. IS GIvEN PROMINENT
PLACE At c. S. 4. S.
By MRS. CLARA KELLEY.


In the curriculum of the C. S. N. S.
the musical department functions are of
primary Importance. No other school
of its size in the West may boast the
same position that music is given here.
The 1867 year is nearing its success
full close, -successsu in more ways than
ONE and seven musical milestones mark
its way.
The first Of these was the Annual
Faculty Recital, September %. 1916.
consisting of seven numbers. The work
of C. Davis Brilliant. head of the Piano
Department, and Miss E Alberta
Rogers, head Of the Vocal Department,
was already well known to Gunnison
audiences. but the two new artists. r.
L. Dick, Orchestra and Band. and Miss
Kathryn N. Firebaugh. Instructor of
Public Speaking, were introduced thru
this recital. The numbers given on that
evening proved an suspicious opening
for the musical season.
The big event In December was
was the Christmas concert, given on
December 20, ct the Methodist church.
! All musical classes Of the different de.
partments were represented. The splen-
did work Of the Band, Orchestra, and
the Boys Glee Club under R L. Dicks

the Cecilean Glee Club, whose artistic
rendition of good music has marked
their efforts as really worth while; und-
er the direction Of E. Alberta Rogers.
and the piano solos given by Mr.. Brill
hart's pupils, all gave evidence of the
fact that noteworthy achievement had
been gained.
The crowning number of the season
was the Cantats. liking Rene's Daugh-
ter. /" gwen last Saturday night. The
wealth Of green ferns. and palms, and
blooming plants. and the white gowned
girls, formed an attractive atmosphere
for the beautiful story in song. The
Cecilisn Glee Club was enlarged after
Christmas into Ladies Chorus, and
forty voices took part in the Cantata
The Cantata was preceded by an orches-
ira concert, the quality and technique

THE MT COLLECTION Of
THE STATE NORMAL
(By Henry L. Richter)

During last summers vacation.
while enroute to the coast OF Maine.
Mrs.. Richter and myself visited the
Boston Art museum. This wonderful
building was in the course Of con-
struction when l was last in that city.
20 I was quite anxious to see it in its
completed state II is one OF the larg
est OF its kind in the United States;
SO that now the various valuable col
lections are given space all at one
time. The spacing in the old build
ing was SO inadequate that this was
impossible. The purpose OF mention.
ing this visit is mainly to give the i'm
preston one receives when entering
this stately museum. After ascending
the first stairway in the interior. one
beholds quite an array OF halls hung
with pictures to the right and left:
but looking straight ahead. the eye is
irresistibly drawn to the end of the
hallway. to a most beautiful statue. n
figure balanced on one foot: the set
ting is ideal the lighting perfect. The
visitor is so impressed. from an aes-
thetic standpoint. by this attractive
sight. that an attitude of appreciation
Is created for what he is to see in n
place OF this kind.
Statuary always lends dignity to a
public building; all eastern institu.
tons OF learning have been fitted out
quite lavishly from this standpoint. As
our Normal school is growing. so has
our collection of statuary and pictures
increased. but mostly through dona-
iions. Two pieces OF statuary, one a
bust of Shakespeare given by the Sum
mer school class OF 1914. the other a
statue OF the Indian guide. Sacajawea.
given by the class OF 1915. have been
presented to the school by its gradu.
ates: but the majority Of the collec-
ton has been donated by the women
OF Gunnison. The Venus de Milo Is
gift of the combined women's clubs
of our town: the bust Of Lincoln is a
donation OF the Monday Afternoon
club: and the various fragments OF
casts, several heads, a bust. hands.
etcetera, for drawing purposes in the
art room have been given to the school
BY the women OF Gunnison. A very
good Autograph. a picture represent

of Trinity Church. New York, con-
Quoted the services.
Young Murray, who was leader
in the young social set Of Baltimore,
was in the select draft. his number
being LAG. but his order OF call num-
Der was 9S2, and as only $50 men
were called from his district, it
would have been some months before
he would have had to join the colors.
Coroner John I Hopkins. Of Tow
son, gave a verdict of accidental death
in the case and said from what he
could learn the wet streets were re-
sponsible for the accident.
Young Murray was only married
last January and his widow, Mrs.
Sarah Robinson McGill Murray, is on
the verge OF a collapse and his mother
is also i'll from the shock Of the TRACE
dy. The death of the young man has
caused much sorrow among the
younger social set, where Mr.. and Mrs
Murray were popular. He resided at
81 Fest Eager street, Baltimore.
Mr. Murray was trying out a new
car and it is thought that he speeded
the machines at times. When the auto
skidded and struck a pole he was
hurled from the car to the side of the
road, where he was found by DR..
Trigant Burrow, of Lake Station. Bal
timore County The young mans
neck was broken and several of his
ribs were fractured Ii is thought
that Mr.. Murray was killed instantly.
He was dead when found by the physi-
clan, who happened along a few min
utes after the accident.
Mr. Murray was grandson of the
late Pay Director James D. Murray,
U. s. Navy, and nephew of Mrs.
Joseph r. McComas, formerly of this
city, wife OF the former rector of ST.
Anne's, and Miss Charlotte Murray
and Mr.. Spencer Murray, of Acton"
His mother was. before her marriage,
Miss Eva Murray, who married a

Baltimore Hospital
Mr. Murray was also connection
