SCHOOL PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED AT
 MEETING IN NORTH

Miss Elsie Toles, state superinten- dent of schools, returned yesterday morning from Flagstaff, where a meeting of the state board of edu cation was held. Following that meeting there was rural schools conference, the second of these meet ings. at which various topics re att ing to the improvement O. the schools were discussed Among them was the qualification of teachers, the law passed bv the late legisia' ire ? Ittlng into the hands of the state board the business of making regulations re- gafdirg the issuance of certificates matter tat had formerly been rigidly fixed by statute.
 The subject of a uniform system cf kccoL Lnting for rural schools was also discussed, along with the sub jeet Of budgets and a syscen. of re- ports for the better conveyance to the rUbiic and the federal govern ment of information concerning the condition of the schools
 There was a consideration of the county unit system which in view of the opinion of the attorney general of the unconstitutionalityo of the law passed by the late legislature pro- viding for the installation of the unit system, was rather academic but it was developed that sentiment had veered strongly to the principle of the system, of which Miss Toles has been from the beginning a strong ! advocate. The amendments which had been made in the legislature had perhaps made the law unavoidable and other defects had been developed so that there was little to be said in favor of the law since it had been pronounced invalid. But the hope was expressed that the system would yet be established.
 It was admitted by the single | speaker against the system that the present district system is inde- feasible and must be displaced
 In relation to the proposed ac- counting system. there was a lack of time for the development of one so that that matter was left to 2 l committee of which Superintendent Jones of this county is Chairman.

Public School Music

Mattern asserts that music in the public schools has suffered because of poor methods used by teachers" It is true that the present day schools are not giv- ing the essential studies that are of lasting character to their graduates, in material sense. The present day courses are planned to take care of the "school ahead" in other words the primary school prepares for the grammar grades, the grammar grades for the high school and the high school for the college, and the college for the special line in which the graduate, after he or she has spent some sixteen years in school ing, is ready to take up their life's vocation: and if the vocation Is la bored out successfully the college graduate Is the one who receives the most benefits under the present sys- tenn According to Dean West, one quarter of the enlisted men during the war were illiterate.

The war office view Is that it is better for the horses to be killed humanely and scientifically than to be left in the hands of the natives who would not care for them properly. and no one would suggest turning them adrift in the desert.

c.ru.o and the Future

Caruso's voice is now a thing of the past, and those of the present generation will derive consolation by memories and through the medium of the talking machine. The little talking machine that most everyone had some fun out of and some de- spised has made a sudden lunge for
 ward in the passing of Caruso, from the realization that the science of mechanical reproduction is a most acceptable substitute in an event lik~ this where a wonderful voice iJ stilled forever. There is rush on for Caruso records, and it Is said
 that several songs have not as yet
 been released by the Victor Talking
 Machine company who are the ex-
 elusive makers of Caruso records.
 Some master records of the great tenor have been entombed to be taken
 out and played a ehundred years
 hence. This sounds quite exciting
 at this time, but if musical science continues as it has the past quarter century, in a hundred years these
 records will amount to little more
 than an old relic like the first steam engine exhibited at the Pageant of Progress at Chicago recently. It is not unlikely that in a century whole grand opera may be kept in storage and released by radio to any, one in the home or while traveling, probably on the same system now l being tried by the Chicago police | force.

 Caruso's "Musical Bones"
 Some years ago prominent Lon- don physician startled the musical world by saying that Caruso had musical bones At least. that was what he was quoted as saying. There are, in truth. no musical bones.' but there is the possibility of human being possessing organs made of ex- ceptional resonating property, which is dependent, perhaps, on the quality and constructive essence of the cells from which they were made. I know from personal knowledge, that parts of Caruso's body had a power of resonance which was startling. By tapping the mastoid behind his ear sound was produced that could b@ heard considerable distance. He himself used to astonish persons by the loud noise he made by humping the lobule of the ear. Of his bones I would say that they were com posed of very fine, compact, resound- ing matter. That this had bearing on his singing is not surprising, when we consider that in some musical in- struments the particular wood of which they were made has a striking influence on the resonance of the tones produced. the quality and vol- ume of which according to manu- lecturers, is even related to the num- Der of years of seasoning of the wood. l The same string on one violin pro- duces an inferior tone, on another a glorious one. The vocal cords might be likened to the string, the body to | the violin.
 Resonance from All Cavities
 T believe the human body con- &-sl. san @f e cavities. The resounding property of the masque, head. chest, abdomen everything pertaining to the frame. and even the legs and arms-depend- ing on the nature of the cells aud the construction, deserves deeper scientific study than so far accorded and l regard Caruso as an exemplar of the part they play in song.
 "Caruso had the sense of singing and had music in his blood. He possessed perfect control and equili- brium in the distribution of his breath, and the rare gift of the clear est enunciation. The meaning of his words was the life of his singing. He 1 always spoke first everything hs sang; then he sang his words as he had spoken them. Thus, his singing 1 was always sincere. artistic and spontaneous.
 1 Singers like Caruso are not pro- duct which nature ever will bestow lavishly on the world. A voice com bining the quality. volume and range of Caruso's in all probability never existed before and never will exist again."

caruso's Voice

AdTuSO8 NOtC0
 Musical Americas last issue gives a detailed account of Caruso's voice. pr. Mario P. Marafioti, close friend and medical advisor of the tenor. de- clares that Caruso's vocal cords were soft and too large, that his arch ana palate were not exceptional and that his bones and cavities vibrated like fine wood from a Stradavarius vio- lin. The write up reads in part:
 "Caruso's throat was often con gested, especially his pharynx- He smoked too much, and seemed reluct- ant to accept advice on this point Sometimes the vocal cords, too. were congested. On such occasions Caruso used to sing better than usual. His exclamation was that he was more careful and not as generous as usual in giving his voice. He had a Won derful power of recovery and an even more wonderful will power in relation to his duty at the opera. He would 20 to any length not to disappoint the audience or the management.
 Vocal Cords Large and Soft
 "There was one peculiarity aoout his vocal cords. They were too DIE and too thick for tenor voice. ana their consistency was rather solt' This last circumstance partially ac- counts for the characteristic mellow ness. and the velvet, flute-like qrai- ity of his voice; and the large, ize or his vocal cords for its extraor dlniry range. He could sing as bass snd a baritone as well as both a dramatic and a lyric tenor.
 Remarkable Control of Tongue
 "Of the other physical factors com monly considered in connection with singer, it can be said that while the palate was we'll arched and more so than with some singers, it was not exceptional and I have looked into mouths of many other vocalists with more in their favor in this respect. Caruso had a really remarkable con- trol of his tongue.
 Tt was his servant, and, without constraint, he could shape it any way he pleased AS a stunt she used to keen the center of the tongue flat, and curl the end and the sides up so that it was cupshaped.
