Music

Music is one of the most wonder
full things in the world. Through it
you can give more happiness to 9TH
ers, and in doing so gain more hap
piness for yourself, than in any 9TH
er way
Thinking people everywhere have
come to recognize the strong, educa-
tional value of music, and the study
of music has found place in all
well planned courses of study.
Music when properly taught slim
ulates as much mental development
as any other subject in the school
curriculum. No other subject, save
literature, is so highly cultural, and
only the finest in music should be
taught.
Theodore Thomas. the great lead
er of orchestra, most truly said
Popular music is, after all, only
familiar music" Let us see to it
that our youth have an opportunity
for the good things in music, and
let us make our public school music

Belief In Progress

That of which men can say 1--WE
know" may be of large compass or
small according to their definition of
knowledge When science makes
the measurements of knowledge
what we know tends to extend in
quantity and diminish in quality.
That is, the beliefs, the innate
knowledge which has nourished the
race for ages, does not meet the
scientific test. And yet the fact that
for generations and in all lands men
have believed that they know GER
tain things is itself colossal item
which science cannot disregard.
In the narrow sense men do not
know that it is the destiny of hu-
manity to make progress and leave
behind one by one the difficulties of
its ascent. Yet they believe it, else
life would be less the adventure and

Visit The Schools

Education week has become ma
tional institution. In the last
weeks issue of the county papers
you read the Presidents proclama-
ton, urging that the week be OBJ
served throughout the country. He
has requested the governors to is
sue similar proclamations asking
that the week be appropriately cell
ebrated in their respective states.
During the four years in which it
has been observed, the American
Legion, the United States Bureau of
Education, and the National Educa-
ton association, have made strong
appeal for the observance of this
week and have contributed many
worthwhile materials and sugges-
tions.
This week should be the time
when the parents and patrons get
more closely in touch with the
schools. We should try to get
deeper understanding of the part
that education has played, is play
ing. and must continue to play in the
life of our nation.
We should pause long enough to
consider that "the child is the
greatest thing in the world, and the
education of the child is the great
est work in the world" The educa-
ton of their children is the most
sacred duty that devolves upon par
ents during life. This duty cannot
be delegated entirely to teachers.
The school is an important institu
tion of the child, but the duties and
responsibilities of parents are pri-
mary and must not be neglected if
the child is to develop into useful
and intelligent citizen. Parents,
teachers, and school officials must
cooperate in all matters pertaining
to the best interests of the children
and the schools.
While every week is an "open
house" week in the M. &c M. schools,
we extend special invitation this
week because the entire nation is

What Is sound Education?

Education presents many prob
lens In the earlier years, to bs
sure, all children need much The
same intellectual experience. Thus
at first we have only the complexity
| of meeting individual differences
among children. But besides this
complexity, as the child advances
each subject presents its own prob
lem OF social Interpretation. What
each child should master in arith-
metic or in geography is by no
means clear, and new definitions OF
the aim and scope of each subject
are continually needed. What
should be mastered in each subject
must be considered from the stand
point of public service and the real
demands of life. not from the stand
point of complete mastery of the
subject. And beyond this is the
fact that children cannot long be
kept in the same educational high
way. The need to separate arises at
least as early as adolescence Here
differences of native endowme mt,
economic condition, and conscious
purpose, force the first fundamental
differentiation of schools, courses
and classes. And besides the neces-
.sity for differentiation on account
of individual differences, society
needs many kinds of thinkers and
workers. There is no general
course which can provide an all
round education in the sense of pro-
viding all that every individual may
need
The public interest goes far be-
yond the need of supplying to all
uniform minimum of schooling De-
mocracy means far more in educa-
ton than the warding off of danger
from illiteracy. 1t is crude and at
bottom wholly mistaken view of
public education which confines it
to "the three RS" The public in
terest is not met by merely elemen-
tary education. 1t is met only when
every prospective citizen may secure
without undue sacrifice that extent
and kind of education which will
make him most efficient in his fun
damental social relationships, in
Guiding his vocation.
But we interpret the modern ideal
too narrowly if we would have it
take no account of beauty, leisure,
and reflection. 1t has been said
that it is crime to teach child
how to read if we do not teach him
what to read. The worlds crime is
planned and executed during the
hours Of unemployment. A social
conception of the ends of education,
therefore, finds reason for folk-danc-
ing, pageahts, and athletics in the
public schools. The common good
demands education for play no less
than education for work.
To provide for every normal in
dividual, whatever his endowment,
an opportunity to prepare himself
for a part in the legitimate work of
the world. a share in it's proper
pleasures, and an understanding of
the meaning and value of life, con-
stitutes sound education; and this is
the purpose of the public schools

lure that it is. Those who see a gol-
den age behind and none before do
not contribute much to life; their
incentive is gone
Now the fact that the wind is al
ways blowing toward hopefulness,
the fact that society as a whole new
er abandons the vision of something
better farther on, the fact that sue
cessive blows and piled up disaster
do not destroy their forelook is
something to consider. The question
is not why men should expect better
things; the question is why they do.
That they do is consequence of a
law written in their natures; and
that law is taken to indicate that
! fulfillment lies farther on. Man is
not able, is not permitted to give up
| to pessimism. Pessimism is self-de-
structive, in principle. which seems
to prove its essential outlawry in
the universe. Men do not know in
strict scientific method whether pes
simism or optimism is the truth But
/ science knows that mems forward
/ looking, onward going urge is one Of
/ the facts of nature.
/ 1t is when men turn their eyes
! from their vision to the actual real
ization of it that they make their
nearest approach to skepticism The
goal so far; the road behind so
short; the method of change so
slow-at times, so overwhelmingly
swift. And yet, succeeding upon
every doubt, comes the wind again,
blowing forward, filing men with
the vitamines of hopfulness, the
urge to progress.
Progress has its method the lines
of which are found in progressive
peoples. Peoples that have conceiv-
ed the benefits of life as the rights of
a class have achieved their rights to
that extent, but having arrived there
was nothing more to strive for, and
the system thus motivated became
obsolete.
Method seems important, because
if the direction of progress is down
ward then failure awaits those who
assume that it is upward. In our
day two main theories Of progress
are contending with results that are
tending more and more to world
wide consequences. One movement
contends for the leveling of all men
down to the grade of the lowest man.
Another movement contends for the
leveling of all men up to the level of
the highest man.
One is the revolutionary method |
which centers in Moscow and whose |
principal agents are Of definite |
breed; the other method is repre- !
sented by the steady growth and |
progress of the liberty-loving COM
monwealths established by our own |
race.
The downward method is wrong, |
apparently, because it does not
achieve even in, partial degree lts
ends: there is an upthrust in the |
soul of man that defeats 1t. The up
ward method seems to be that OF ma
ture and destiny, because 1T IS the
one that takes root and grows, be-
ing fruit in wider liberty and fuller
life. The more universally it is ap-
plied. the more evident it's natural
ness and wisdom appear to be. Lever !
all men to the lowest degree, and
there is no world. Level all men
upward, and you have the world
men have dreamed of and prophets
have foretold
Yet the level is not attained even
by the upward method. The levei
never will be attained. 1t is not de-
sirable; it is not possible. me
