music MEMORY" CONTEST DEPARTMENT
BY MISS HARRIET r. HERMAN
Supervisor of Music, Glasgow Public Schools

The value of music in education is
becoming more and more clearly recog-
nized. This is evidenced by the in
creasing time being given the subject
in the school curriculum, the credits
for private study being granted in
many places and the frequency of pub
lie discussions on the subject. The
value is of two kinds at least-first
as a mind teacher; second-as a means
of preparation for a broader, fuller,
happier life. It is in this last phase
that the music memory contest ex-
cells, though the former value is
easily recognized.
The cooperation of every citizen in
terested in bringing music, ga divine
art" to its proper place in the COM
munity is earnestly solicited. Fol-
lowing issues of the city papers will
bring more definite and concrete in
formation regarding the contest, the
prizes, the list of pieces chosen, OPP
portunities of hearing the music and
the date set for the beginning of the
contest.
A scrap book containing each ar
ticle which appears in the local papers
will be an excellent means of assis-
tance to each student interested in
the contest and will doubtless prove
inestimable during the coming weeks.
Let US aim to make this contest a
definite step toward Better Music"
in Glasgow.

the place where the laws are made.
Dublin is also noted for it's manufac-
turing and commerce. We visited
many great buildings in Dublin.
After seeing Dublin we might have
crossed the Irish channel from Dublin
to England but we wished to see some
thing of north Ireland before visiting
Great Britain so we took the train
for the Giants Causeway and Belfast,
where we can get a ship which will
land us in Scotland. We travelled all
day long through a beautiful country,
passing many towns and numerous
villages.
At last we reached Portrush, a town
situated On the extreme north coast on
a bold headland. The next morning
we took the train for the famed Giants
C%auseway. It has a very curious for
nation. W. travelled around looking
at the many different shapes. After
a time we hired a boat and were
rowed out for a view of the Causeway
from the sea. The columns extend
far out into the sea. Our boatman
told US that this causeway was built
because of a quarrel between Fin Nc
Coul, the champion giant of Ireland,
and one of the champion giants of
Scotland. The Scotch giant dared ali
the world to come and fight him. He
had heard of Fin, and had sent him
a message that if it weren't for get
ting wet he would cross over 70 Ire
land and give him a drubbing. Upon
this Fin applied to his king who gave
permission to build this great cause
way from Ireland to Scotland in order
that the Scotch giant might come over
dry shod to fight him. The boastful
Scotchman did come, and Fin gave
him a whipping and sent him back
home. After that there was no fur
Their need of the causeway, and &C
cording to the story it was again
thrown down into the sea.
After visiting the causeway we
went to Belfast. Belfast is a beau
tiful city, about as large as Washing
ton, lying on an excellent harbor which
gives it connection with Scotland, Eng
land and all other parts of the world.
In Belfast there are many interesting
things to see. The first one we visited
was the great shipyards, where some
OF the finest of ocean steamers are
built. We next visited the vast mills
for weaving cotton and linen. One
of these linen mills is the largest in
the world. Its buildings cover eight
acres, and more than $4,000 people are
employed by it's managers to turn the
flax into cloth.
After visiting Belfast we went
through Scotland and England. Now
we are ready to take a trip through
France, but these trips will be re-
ported later.-Inger Christophersen.

SMALL BUT IRATE MOTORIST
TEACHES ROAD HOG LESSON

Twin Bridges.-The rare privilege
of seeing a "road hog" get what was
coming to him was accorded a number
of persons who happened to be in the
vicinity of a local garage when a
large car, followed by a smaller one
stopped for gas and oil.
The driver of the larger machine, a
heavy, well-built man, alighted to get
water for his car. The driver of the
other car, a small man, walked up to
the other and said, "You are the guy
that forced me into the ditch when
you passed me, and you did not blow
your horn when you came up behind
me-
A few words passed and the big
fellow made a dive for the other, but
the little fellow met him with two
straight lefts to the jaw, followed by
a good right. A few more good blows
gave the little fellow the opening to
put three smashing rights in success
sion to the big fellows jaw and con-
WINGED him that he had "enuf."
"Now," said the little fellow, "the
blow your horn and think twice be-
next time you overtake a car, you
fore you force the other fellow into
the ditch when you pass him."
The occupants of both cars were
strangers, and before the dazed by
ISLANDERS could fully realize what had
happened, both cars were on their way,
one going towards Dillon and the 9TH
er toward Virginia City.
WELL" said one of the bystanders,
that little guy should have a bonus
and a pension for life, and if l ever
see him again he will get the best
cigar in town."

A Trip Through Ireland.

We are trying a new way in geo.
graphy to make it more interesting
in the seventh grade. AS we study
the different countries we find other
stories about them in other books.
Different pupils are guides taking the
rest of the class on trips through the
country by mean of these stories that
they tell. The last week we have
been taking Ia trip through Great
Britain. When we left for Europe
we boarded a big ocean steamer. 1t
took us about five days to cross the
ocean. We landed in the harbor of
Queenstown, Ireland. AS we travelled
about in Ireland we saw much beau
tiful scenery. We stopped at a city
called Cork. 1t is the metropolis of
southern Ireland. Cork is about as
large as Troy, New York. After we
visited Cork we took the railroad
through southern Ireland to Bantrv
Bay, where we went by coach over the
mountains to Killarney. Here we saw
many beautiful lakes and mountain
scenery.
from Killarney we went north to
Limerick and Galway, important little
cities with fine harbors on the west
coast, and then crossed Ireland to
Dublin, passing W. the central plain.
Dublin is a magnificent city. It is
about as large as Minneapolis and it
is n of the most beautiful cities of
Europe. It is the capital of Ireland,

Busy Little News Reporters.

Every Tuesday for our language
lesson we write an article for the pa

interesting which happens on the play
grounds or in the schoolroom. Certain
people have been chosen to get news

that come in the bus write the bus

playground incidents. Our teacher
always writes some things we can
write about on the board to help U.S.

Penmanship Drill,

Every Wednesday we have a test
in penmanship. We are working for
uniformity of slant uniformity of
alignment and correct spacing. We
have committed to memory Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech and in our tests
we write as much of that as we can
in two minutes.
In u last test there was only one
in the whole room of AZ pupils that
deserved an "a" and that was Faith
Smith. The rest were "B's," "C's,"
"D's," and eve some "F's."

A Basket Ball Game.

This is the way we play a game with
our basket ball. We have two sides.
One side has maroon ribbon and the
other side has gold ribbon. We wear
them around our heads so that we
can see them plainly.
One of the leaders has the ball and
she throws it. Then we all try to get
it. If a child with gold ribbon gets
it is is n for their side. But if a
child with a maroon ribbon gets it
is is one for them and so on until the
game is finished. The side that gets
the ball the most number of times
wins the game.-Fern Moore.

Investigations Show Grain
Market Speculation

Recent Investigations o! the American
Farm Bureau Federation have showed
that speculation on grain market was
working a hardship upon the producers
OF grain and that grain exchanges had
become so powerful that it was necessary
for the Government to regulate and con-
troll them-just as necessary as it is for
our Government to control the railroads,
to control insurance companies and to
control our banks.
= This year the American Farm Bureau
federation gave its support to this
demand at the hands Of Congress, and this
bill enacted iate a Law. For the 6rst time
in the history Of our nation, there is Law
on the statute books providing for the
Federal regulation Of the grain exchanges
Of the United States.
The Federation has assisted in procur-
ing legislation providing for the regnla-
ton and control OF our Live Stock markets.
At the present time the commissions on
the Live Stock Exchanges which the pro-
duoer is compelled to pay are from 81 to
100 per cent greater than those existing
