phases of Photographic work but
slightly favors child photography.

endeavor to find out how they may
best assist the children who are liv-
ing In this complicated age when the
school curriculum has so increased
that 1t Is bewildering. There is the
type of teacher who resents having
the parent come to school, feeling
that the parent Is interfering. A
teacher of that type can keep away
many ashy and backward mother.
The ideal plan Is to keep In such
close touch with the school that the
boy or girl will see no difference be-
tween home training and school
training.
How are we going to teach these
things to the boys and girls SO they
will dominate and command the
school spirit? We must begin with
them as babies and live with them
from their point of yiew."

of value in the schools 2"
Certainly it is. In looking at any
group of old songs you may no.
tice many which are of great va
ue in building up the spiritual
side of students life. This type
of song is used in schools and for
assembly singing. The best pos
sible selections of old time music
are chosen and twice week the
students burst into song in the as
sembly.
A student cannot study nine
months of the year without some
chance of recreation. One of the
best forms of recreation that can
be offered during school hours is
good wholesome music which is
certainly pleasant to the singers
and listeners alike.
You cannot pass rules to lnstiil
into the student nobility of char
acter, love of school and home, and
patriotism, but by singing you
can bring all of this into their
hearts. Patriotic songs teach the
students love of country. the old
folk songs provide memories OF
customs and characteristics of 9th.
err countries. And lastly the college
songs provide humor and gaiety.
The proper songs will raise the
standard of thot, and give ease to
troubled, hearts. In glee club and
orchestra the talent of the stud.

pleasure to other people.

BASEBALL TALK
By John Soth

Regular baseball practice for
the high school team started Tues
day night with bang when if
teen would-be players donned
suits. A light practice for infield
and outfield and some batting
practice was all that was in order
the first night. Prospects for a
good team seem very bright. AL
tho Kennewich had no baseball
team last year, several lettermen
of the team of two years ago are
still in school and their playing
seems to have improved. Cox, Hud-
nall, Soth, and Paden are letter
men who are turning out. The first
night is too early to pick the team
even for the sports editor but it
certainly looks like it will be a
snappy combination. However,
much practice is needed before the
team is ready to meet Hanford
for the first game of the season,
in two weeks. Those turning out
for place on the team are: King,
Boyer, Campbell, G. Cox, Shep-
