TURNING POINT
OF BATTLE
REACHED
u. S. MILITARY EPERTES LOOK
FOR COUNTER STROKE.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27.-Belief
that the turning point of the battle in
France is near prevailed Washington
today. American military observers
centered attention on the front held by
the French.
In anticipation of the powerful coun
ter thrHst limited at in the British press
some change may be expected soon
and this has strengthened the view
here that the steady British withdraw.
al is a part of a defensive battle plan
the ultimate object of which is the
launching of a powerful. counter often
sive.
The most probable place for such a
movement it is believed is from the
thanking position the French held last
night along the left bank of the Disc
river.
The war department today awaited
confirmation from General Pershing of
statements that American troops were
fighting with the British and French
It was pointed out that the. American
heavy artillery and tank detachments
in training in England might have
gone forward in replacement of de-
tachments.

AN ACCREDITED MUSIC
COURSE FOR MM|LLAN

A music course has been added to
the already up-to-the-minute curricu-
lum Of Mcmillan for The coming term
Of 19IS-l9. Mrs. Abbie Snoddy will
head the new department Of piano
music, and the selection of a violin
instructor is under consideration.
The curses will be accredited, and the
units given will count toward the
graduation Of the pupil.
The piano lessons given by Mrs.
Snoddy will be as distinctly individ-
ual as private ones; for each pupil will
receive personal attention. The in
structions will be given in the McMil-
Ian auditorium. A nominal fee will be
charged.
Mrs. Snoddy is not only a talented
musician hereslf, but has had wide ex-
%perience in teaching children of all
ages and for some time has had large
private classes in piano. 1t is indeed
fortunate that the local school board
has been able to procure as instructor
for the new department; for she is GER
tain to make that branch Of the school
a success. L. B. Hawthorne, principal
fof the school, is always found at the
root of any aggressive movement for
better educational systems and so,
again he is said to be the originator
Of this idea for Mexico.
In regard to the new course and its
installation in the school, Mrs. Snoddy
says: "The plan for giving credit for
study in instrumental music was first
tried successfully in Chelsea, Mass,
high school some years ago, and since
then various schools in Texas, New
York, Illinois and Missouri have
adopted the same system. AS n
superintendent says: We give u
boys and girls credit for sewing a
straight seam, baking a loaf of bread,
or saving and hammering accurately,
so why should we not give them credit
for playing a piano or violin?' Music
rains the fingers, improves the men,
cry and develops both the brain and
soul, and educators are coming more
and more TO recognize its importance
from the intellectual as well as the
artistic standpoint"
