HARVARD WILL TEACH
HISTORY WITH SONGS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 6.-Dr
Samuel K. Morrison, who conducts a
course in American history at Har'
ward, has a new wrinkle TO keep his
pupils interested in their studies
When about 100 students enrolled In
the course they were asked to indi'
cate whether they were able to sing
and whether they would be willing
to sing for the class.
The idea of DIR. Morrison is to fix
history in the students mind by the
use Of music furnished by the stu
dents. The songsters Of the course
will sing revolutionary ditties, such
as were sung in Boston when the tea
party was being planned and when
the Boston massacre had aroused deep
resentment.
They will render selections from bal
lads that thrilled our forefathers when
Adams. jefferson and Madison were in
the chair. Local color Is the name
that may be applied to this latest
idea furnished by staid old Harvard
The Washington times., 1921-10-05

suspecting that perhaps they are the
victims Of some sort OF joke. II
is causing considerable amusement
among scieptists in Washington.
The officials of the organization no
ticed in the newspapers some months
ago that Captain Traprock, aboard
the auxiliary yacht Kawa. had land
ed in San Francisco with the strange
story of the discovery Of a new group
Of islands in the South Seas, which
he had named the Hilbert Islands be-
cause he found so many nuts there.
The officials immediately became in
terested in the expedition and were
informed that Captain Traprock was
on his way to Washington to lay be-
fore them evidence of the discovery,
which was understood to be startling.
Traprock, however, never showed up.
Meantime the officials. much excited
over the situation. learned that the
story OF the expedition was coming
out in book form, which 1t has, copies
having been awaited and eagerly read
at the offices Of the organization.
