Rio Janeiro, April 10 (By the AS

Coutinho and scadura, who hoped

most dangerous leg of their flight
from Lisbon to Brazil, made the SOC
miles to st. Paul Rocks in safety but
VIII be unable to proceed because Of
damage to their plane sustained
while landing last night, according 10
a Hayas dispatch from Pernambuco
1t was expected that the landing al
st. Paul Rocks would be attended by
difficulties, as there is only a small
bay or opening between the two
islets on the northeast side. This bay
or cove is only 56 yards across al
the entrance and 400 yards long and
is a dangerous passage for ships ex
cept In moderate weather.
The Portuguese cruiser, Republica
was in waiting for the ayiators al
the Rocks with supplies OF oil and
gasoline. From St. Paul Rocks the
aviators had planned to fly to the is
land of Fernando Norono, approxt
mately $50 miles off the Brazilian
coast, and thence to Pernambuco.

DETROIT AUTO PLANTS
TO MOVE OUT OF CITY
Proposed Railroad improvements May
Result In New Industrial Gen.
ter at Pontiac

Detroit, Mich, April Establish
ment of great industrial center near
Pontiac, 26 miles north Of Detroit, in
which would be grouped two or more
of the larger Detroit automobile plants
and accessory factories from all parts
of the country, is seen here as pos
sibility following announcement by
the Grand Trunk Railway that 1t Is
ready to lower the grade OF its tracks
along Dequindre street from Jefferson
avenue to Hale street, in Detroit, a
distance OF about one. and one hat
miles at cost of S4,0O0,000.
The grade improvements, il is said
here, will drive the opening wedge
for what promises to be one Of the
largest railway improvement plans
within recent years.
Due to high taxes certain automo-
bile companies here have expressed a
desire to leave the corporate limits
of the city Of Detroit and remove to
some other point. Local capitalists
have acquired a 1000 acre tract near
Pontiac as the site for a part of the
new industrial project. 1t is sad the
work of moving one or more plants
will be considered as soon as trans
portation facilities for the workmen
are available.

MUSIC IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
instructor Reviews Work Beng Ac-
compIIshed in Bennington.

The aim OF education is to train
children to become good citizens, and
a certain amount Of time is given to
each subject with that end in view.
Public school music has an important
share also. 1t Is coming into its
own as never before. Music adds
JOY and happiness to the days work.
From the first grade throughout the
High school only the best songs are
taught in the public schools In an ef-
fort to cultivate In the children a
genuine musical taste.
In the first grade pupils memorize
the songs and sing them with whole
hearted enthusiasm Similar work
is continued throughout the primary
grades.
In fourth and fifth grades two-part
work Is studied. Pupils are taught
music appreciation and in this the
yictrola plays an important part. At
present the school owns 60 records.
We also have access to the State rec.
ords.
This year the sixth grade pupils
gave concert which was we'll at
tended. Many parents gained some
idea Of the good work being done
daily by their boys and girls. AL
though the aim OF the concerts was
not solely to gain money, still with
the proceeds of the concerts given,
the music department has been abe
to buy Victor and a Graphonola, 60
records and set OF music books to
be used In junior high school and
has money in the bank to be used
when needed
In junior high school, music appre-
citation is given once a week. Just at
present the junior high school is pre-.
pairing for memory contest. Twelve
compositions have been played. AT
the contest they will be p aged again
and the pupils will be required to
write the names of the compositions
from memory. Once a week in jun
ior high school there is special study
on three-part music. One week is
given wholly to training the girls,
the next week to the boys.
In high school one period is given
to chorus work. The Cantata, THE
Rose Maid" is being pract ced for a
concert to be given later this year.
The high school orchestra is prac.
ticing two nights a week. 1t has ad.
ded enjoyment to several concerts
and entertainments this year.
The teacher training class is do.
ing excellent work to enable its mem
bers to carry music into rural
schools.
Public school music does not aim
to make musicians, merely to siscov.
er and help develop musical talent.
1t teaches the boys and girls to love
the best music. 1t gives them the
chance to be of service in their
homes. churches and community, and
give them something Of lasting bene.
fit to do in their leisure hours.

NF VI LEAGUE MAY
Y.'.nfIiuIivIDE .'.fIiIi OPENING
FOR BENNINGTON
May Have Look in" on Western
Massachusetts, Circuit
NORTH ADAMS POSSIBILITY
ICY" Ferry of Pittsfield Consid-
ering Western Gateway from
Baseball Standpoint

A local baseball fan has made the
suggestion that there is possible
opening for Bennington to secure
franchise in the Western Massachu-
sets league which has been proposed
at Greenfield. ICY" Ferry, the veter-
an Pittsfeld baseball man Is endeav.
oring to interest North Adams In the
proposal and has made several trips
to the northern end Of the county re-
Gently for that purpose.
Ferry is finding some difficulty In Sc
curing playing field in North Adams
where the American Legion has
team partially organized and where
the Dusty League is once more In eyi-
dence. The proposal that North
Adams be represented In the Western
Massachusetts league is being re
ceived with considerable favor in the
Tunnel city and should It meet with
substantial support 1t might be well
for the board of directors Of the Ben
nington Baseball association appoint
ed at the meeting last week to look
into the possibilities that might arise
from the organization OF the Western
Massachusetts league.
Greenfield only 40 miles from Benz
nington with good road over the en-.
tire distance except for the portion
between Bennington and the Massa-
c,.otts state line and a team could
easily be accommodated in two auto
mobiles which could leave here d.
rectly after dinner and reach the
playing field before $3.50. North Adams
is but one hours ride away by trolley
or automobile.
The baseball situation IN northern
Berkshire county at present is report
ed to be somewhat unsettled but
pronounced change is expected inside
OF a week.
Here IN Bennington there are q NUM-
Der OF problems TO be solved, of which
the most troublesome is that OF play
ing fed, but with the prospect OF
good teams within a radius OF 40
mles the prospects for baseball
should look much brighter.
