LEGAL RIGHT TO REMAIN
IGNORANT GRANTED CHILDREN

Washington, June 2l.-The legal
right to remain ignorant is annually
granted to thousands of children in
states where child labor and educa-
ton laws are backward. According
10 an account of the administration
Of the Federal Child Labor Law soon
10 be published by the Children's
Bureau OF the U. S. Department or
Labor, only 7S3 children out of 1850
to whom certificates were issued. or
less than per cent, had attended or
completed the eighth grade, though
completion of the eighth grade is
generally regarded as necessary TO Sc
cure even the rudiments of an edu-
cation.
Only l of these states has a
compulsory school law for children
up TO 16, even when unemployed, ana
that law permits many exemptions.
Both parents and children, through
ignorance Of the value of schooling,
are apt to take advantage of the
legal right to dodge an education. In
recent study of school attendance
IN Cleveland it was found that 1850
children were so irregular in their at
tendance at school as to interfere
with their studies. and that the rea.
sons for staying out of school were in
many cases trivial. Among foreign
groups, children were kept at home
on bargain or market days to act as
interpreters for their mothers.

Of Columbia require the ability to

WOULD Be LEGISLATOR
is OPPOSED TO COUNTY
AUDITORS BILL, He SAYS

r. A. Baird, prominent attorney of
Healdton, and candidate for the state
legislature spent Sunday in Ardmore
with friends.
In speaking of his candidacy for
the Legislature, Mr. Baird let it be
known in no uncertain terms that
there We're some things that he was
going to fight to a finish, provided
the people elect him to the office TO
county auditors bill which he believes
to be a direct slap at the integrity of
the board Of county commissioners,
and which he alleges was railroaded
through the last legislature to apply
only to Carter, of all the counties in
the state at the behest Of people whom
Mr.. Baird refused to name at this
time.
At the opening Of the campaign at
Newport last Thursday night, he made
public the announcement that he was
going to fight that bill provided he
was elected to the state legislature,
and Sunday he reiterated the state
ment with a little more emphasis.
Under the terms of the law the
county attorney is made county audit
or, and all bills before they are al
lowed by the board Of county commits
sioners must bear his stamp of ap-
proval.
When seen at the Randol hotel last
night, Mr.. Baird stated that he under.
stood that some Of the friends of the
auditors bill were going to take
issue with him during the campaign,
probably would take the stump against
his views of the matter, but that did
not make a bit of difference to his
version of the affair and he would
like nothing better than to have the
question discussed before the public.

ps,cholorr Of Musical Talent.

Not many summers ago il was my
privilege to sit in the classes of Prof.
lCarl Seashore OF the University Of
Iowa. He was then at the University Of
california Summer school. was much
interested in his experiments and
scientific methods of measuring musi-
cal talent. and am enthusiastic over his
book, THE Psychology of Musical

& Co., shall aim to give (mostly in
his own words) brief review of the
nature and purport of this book. ;:
will undoubtedly be found of unlimited
value to music teachers, school music
supervisors, music students, and who
are ever wondering whether William
would learn to play If he we've present
ed with a horn. and whether Susan
Marigold really ought to continue with
her voice lessons, etc. Quoting from
chapter 1: Three branches of the psy-
chology of music are fairly distinct;
the psychology of musical talent, the
of art principles involved
in music. and the psychology of mu-
sical training. The present volume is
restricted to the first of these three
The aim is to describe and explain the
musical mind in such a way as to serve
in the recognition, analysis. rating and
guidance of musical talent.
In no other field does vocational
guidance give so great a promise "
becoming scientific as in music. Among
the reasons are these: Music requires
specific talents: these talents can be
identified and rated by psychological
methods; to certain extent they are

the art; musical education is expen-
sive; misguided talent may entail u
chain of grievous misfortunes.
Surveys in public schools show clear
ly that very little correlation exists
between the possession of musical tai
ent for musical education. In recogns.-
ing the possibilities and worth of genu
inc talent and the futility of trying to
make a precious metal out of a base
one. musical guidance may be looked
upon as alleviating human suffering,

Musical talent is not single talent;
| Il is a hierarchy of talents, many Oh
which are entirely independent OF one

musical mind reduces itself to the
picturing of the relative prominence or
latency of each musical talent we
have the tonal group, the rhythmic
group, the motor group, the intellect

The musical mind is first Of all

is musical to the extent that it is nor

After all, psychology itself will be
the chief gamer. One cannot observe
under controlled conditions in field
so rich and unworked without gather
ing new facts, correcting errors, break
ing views. and deepening insight into
the nature of the mental processes in
music
Pitch, intensity, duration and ex-

of tones in memory of imagination,

As final compliment to Prof. Sea-

BRYANT DALTON FIGHT WILL BE
 CARD TONIGHT.
Coast Boxer and MiSsOurial to Mix Things in Bisbee
 Clubs Ring

Tine Bisbee Athletic club tonight Dalton of Los Angeles and Otis Bry- ant, the speedy Missouri thunderbolt. Both men are in excellent shape and in spite Of the fact that Dalton has been here but two days he is not in the least affected by the high alti- tude. When interviewed last night, Bryant said, Tn Dalton l know am going against one of the toughest boys in the business, but feel confi- dent I will be returned the winner" Dalton said, q am in perfect shape and am surprised at the way I feel in this high altitude. I could go into the ring right now and only hope Bryant feels the same; if so. the fans are in to see some fight
 The principals in the preliminaries also expressed themselves as ready for the tap of the gong and ready for the fur to fly. A knockout is expect ed in the four round go between Bat ting Herrera, pride of Brewery Gulch, and Red Rawley of the motor trans port company stationed at Douglas A knockout would have resulted in their last engagement but for the fact that each had the other groggy in the first round. Red Milburn and Young Dempsey will furnish the curtain raiser, and each is desirouS of fight ing to a decision this time as they have two draws. An opponent could not be found either in Bisbee, Doug las or Phoenix for the speedy Kid Hartman, so another bout has been substituted. Manager French is with holding the names of these two boys but says that they will put up whale of a scrap.
 An early knockout is expected in the main event and for that reason heavy demand has been made for reserved seats, especially by the min- CTS. It has been the experience of the | local athletic club that fighters above | the welterweight class draw better from among the miners than the lit ] tie bantams and featherweights. It seems that the miners enjoy seeing a man who can weld terrific punch, and as both Bryant and Dalton have the reputation of having that punch, a big rush has been made on the ad- vance sale of seats.
 Bryant is still young at the game
 having appeared in the professional ring but 40 times. Of those 40 fights, IS have been knockouts and only
 once has be been defeated. Dalton brings number of recent victories
 on the coast, having won his last four
 or five fights. He recently defeated | Hard Hitting Wright, the negro mid dleweight who appeared in the local
 arena against Speedbal Hayden sever
 al weeks ago. Several wagers were
 offered yesterday that the fight would
 not go the scheduled ten rounds, but
 the money went begging.
