TypesDriting to Music

In certain college in London,
England, girls learn typewriting to
the accompaniment Of fox trots and
military marches. If a girl has a
good sense of rhythm, this system
hastens the early stages of training
In a remarkable way. Gramophone
records are used, and pupils first type
words Of three letters to a military
march in four-four time, one letter
to beat and the space movement to
the fourth. Progress is then made In
words Of different lengths, until final
ly whole sentences are typed. When
speed increases, students type two
letters to each beat. The idea behind
this system is that regular rhythmic
movements are less firing than irreg-
ular ones, which waste the workers
energy.

The Cotton Blossom Singers, quar-
tets sent out from the school during
vacation, aid materially in bolstering
up the funds which run the institu-
ton. Three weeks ago, one Of these
quartets appeared in st. Paul at Cen
trail Park M. E. church, and at St.
James A. M. E. church. There are
four of the organizations on the road.
All the singers in them are students
at Piney Woods, and are working
their way through school.
Deprived of every advantage in
their struggle for education, these
young people are making desper-
ate effort to get all they can out of
school. Their story, different in ev-
cry respect from the one which is
true in Minnesota, should be a def
mite spur to the parents of this COM
munity to see that their children
take advantage of the educational OPP
portunities offered by public schools.

The putting Of railway engine is
a commencement sound, but few
people know by what it is regulated.
Actually the number of pulls made
by locomotive In the course of a
journey depends on the circumference
Of its driving wheels.
No matter what the speed of the
train may be, the engine will give
four puffs for every complete turn Of
the driving wheels. The wheels may
vary in circumference, but the aver
age Is 20 feet %" ''"- "''''t''' -'"''5
With the average driving wheels
and speed of fifty miles an hour, a

ing wheels performing 1920 COM
plete revolutions in the sixty minutes.
