 Of a million horses. When Sir J. Cowans
 came to the war office he had to raise
 135,D0 horses within IA days. Tn August
 1914, they watched with anxiety the start
 of that machine and for two years it
 was on trial. It grew with the good will of the public, so that the British expedf- tionary force left England horsed as no army ever had been. Those horses were supplied by business people of England and included the best of Leicestershire. The Kitchener divisions required the bringing to this country of some 100000 animals they came from America, Spain, the Argentine, China, Australia, Tunis, Algiers and Somaliland; even Cyprus SUD- piled the useful ass. The horse strength
 in 1917 was 100000. The British army es. tablishment had been kept up to full strength until the armistice found it mo- bile all over the world.
 All this was the result of Britain's com mand of the sea and of her mercantile 1 marine; but the country gentlemen of | England also helped the country in the
 work of buying horses and in manning | remount depots.

Music's Place in
 Public Schools

NNTITH the. advance of modern w pedagogy music is coming into its own as factor in public school and college work.
 American educators who formerly regarded music as something apart from serious study now begin to real ize its cultural importance. In the public schools of Birmingham the music department is all the while broadening it's scope of activity, and what is true of the local school sys- tenn is true of the schools in all pro- gressive cities.
 Prof. Karl Gehrkens, the well known musical instructor and author, born and reared in this country, is con- tributing an Illuminating series of ar ticles to Musical America on "Music's Place in Our Public Schools" in which the divine art is stressed as a great specializing force. He seeks to prove that the study of music in the public schools when competent instructors are employed may have at least four significant results.
 First, 1t exerts definite beneficial effect upon the physical, mental and spiritual life of the individual Sec ond, it provides an excellent type of intellectual training. Third, it has high value as a humanfzing art. Fourth, it should prove to be one of the most important agencies for bring ing about worthy use of leisure.
 Professor Gehrkens proceeds to de- velop each of these propositions Among other good points which he dwells upon is one of general interest to all who have endeavored to promote community singing. He says:
 The potency of music in stimulat- ing sanity of thought and action as we'll as a highly satisfactory social attitude is greater than that of any other art because of the fact that in % many cases the individual himself takes part in it. and by thus becoming . creator he finds it possible to ex- press himself in 8 fashion giving deep personal satisfaction. It is this phase of music that has caused the commu- nity chorus to flourish so amazingly; and by encouraging every child to at- ss tain skill in working with a highly exalting and spiritually stimulating medium for expressing his emotions we are ministering directly toward that ultimate happiness and content ment of the entire world that we all co much desire just now. For this reason nothing must be allowed to dis place the singing period, in which every child is encouraged to take part. and for a similar reason ensemble instrumental work must be encour- aged by the public schools to a far
