out with the result that there is now unanimous opinion among political ob- servers that a vast majority of the Amer ican people do want League of Nations properly amended.
 TO AROUSE PREJUDICE
 The attack against Wilson is admit to arouse prejudice. The word "dic- tator' is frequently used. Capital is at tempted to be made of the enemies num- bered by Postmaster-General Burleson,. and resort is taken to the anti-German activity in which Attorney-General Pal mer, in the wake of war, engaged him. self The charge of administrative ex- travagance is attended by some danger, however, because the great majority of the people are apparently aware of the obvious fact that war is expensive. And, with the exception of unpatriotic for eigners, practically everybody is glad the war was fought, despite it's awful toll of men and money.
 The tactics of the republicans in chang ing their front regarding the League of Nations is due to two reasons. The first already explained, is because it is no longer popular to assail the league. The second reason is that a return to Wilson IS an issue will serve to inflame the German mind and thus render 1t more certain to remain faithful to the republican party.
 It might happen, it is said tonight that the part played by the foreigner "n our midst will be treated tomorrow by the President. Secretary Colby has already gone more or less thoroughly into the subject

 Enn Hauidsnn Rmilhinn


 Washington, october 26.-(SpeciaL )-The President. tomorrow noon. will make what is expected to be his last and most notable contribution to the national cam paign which so rapidly approaches it's conclusion.
 He will address. from the White House, a gathering ot those former republicans, who unable to stomach the reactionary principles of their party and the vacil- lating. wobbly course of it's candidate, transferred their allegiance to the dem ocratic standard, and it's nominee, Cow ernor Cox
 The President, 1t is known, win speak principally on the League of Nations. It is believed that, in course of his ad- dress, he will refer to the recent speeches of ex-President Taft and Elihu Root, neither of whom, in their allegiance to Candidate Harding on the one hand, and the league covenant on the other, ap- pears to know exactly what he does want In the event the President fulflls this expectation, his words will be dra- matic and sufficiently forceful to nail his distin guished opponents more securely to the cross of oblivion than Cox has all ready nailed them.
 On very good authority, it is learned that the President will scarcely, if at all, refer to Senators Borah and Johnson It is indicated that he holds them, in view of their iconoclastc record, as lit tie removed from the editorials of the Hearst neWspa pers

In connection with the address to- morrow of the President it is interesting to note that during these last days of the fight the republicans have abandoned in the main, their formally expressed op- position to the league covenant.
 Ten days ago, it was hinted that the strategist, admitting slight tide Cox ward. instructed the press agents and stump speakers 'to go easy'' on the league, and center their attack on Pres ident Wilson.

band work in the grades is being de- veloped very satisfactorily. And right here let me say. that there is a splendid chance for some good philanthrcpist to donate some instruments for our High School orchestra. as many of the best instruments we had were destroyed in the High School fire.

 And a word about our voice work" Miss Kitts said in conclusion, Miss Hortense Estes and Miss Emma Reid Mitchell, excellent teachers of voice. are in charge and have achieved enviable results. When we find a child with a voice of promise the most careful atten- tion is paid to it's development, and advice is given as to teachers and work. The voice classes are divided into groups of. three with 45-minute lessons. Our Euterpean Club is the outcome of our voice department, last year num- bering one hundred and fifty members. We gave two operas-one of which was the only light opera Henry Hadley, our American composer, has ever written. Our present activities are concerned with our Glee Club and band concert in December which will mark the formal opening of our chorus work under ths auspices of the Euterpean Club"

 "In our piano work in the public schools" Miss Kits said. the students are allowed to take their lessons during school hours with the teachers con nected with the schools. You see, piano is major subject and our students get major credits for piano work. My idea is to place the Birmingham High ern colleges. with the same high stand ards Last year we used the same ex- aminations that are used by all the eastern colleges-those sent out by the New York school boards. This, of course, would omit examinations of our students when they enter eastern col legs, where our major credits would count with such institutions as Smith, Wellesley, Vassr-and the southern col leges like Tulane.

 Miss Kitts continued, "our pupils are not only familiar with the great com posers, but know such technicalities, for instance, with Bach as-modulation, the scale, fugues-style-far better than many grown-ups.

 Tn our regular voice classes we teach
 voice placing, voice building, correct breathing and correct diction. We study sonato and cover every possible line
 of work in this way. In the Central
 High School we have voice teacher of
 excellent ability, a pupil of Herbert Witherpsoon. who is amply able to give the best instruction in voice." Tn our appreciation classes" Miss Kitts continued. i've, study the~history of music, musical literature; we learn the facts about the composers as well as study the compositions. For instance.
 the four classic composers, Bach, Hadyn,
 Mozart and Beethoven, we analyze and study the works of these great com posers-their style, their literature. We
 analyze and discuss the sonatas, sym
 phonies, orchestration. We then follow With the TOrnanllc composers, HHdiiy leading up to modernity. so that when a composition from any great composer is heard, the student
 will not only be familiar with his style. but will know his history, temperament and the incentives he has had in writing his works"
 Just as Beethoven is the greatest classic composer, so we go down the long line, Bach, Brahms, and all the others, making a thorough study of all of them.'
 "Our depreciation classes begin with the polyphonic period and include all other periods up to the present time." Miss Kitts said, "and as an authority on current musical topics we use Mu- sical America, in this way keeping in touch with the present day artists, conn posers and great conductors; the Metro- politan Opera stars, the Chicago Opera stars. the concert singers-we discuss all these and thus our students are fa-
