MUSIC PUPILS EXCEL IN
SCHOLARSHIP

Students of music are 25 pei
cent more efficient in their school
work than children who have new
er taken any music lessons, it is
shown in an exhaustive analysis
of school grades of Springfield
Mo-, and high school pupils made
by the we'll known music
center at Elkhart, Ind. Music
study was found not only to i'm
prove the grades, but also to rank
high as a mental stimulant in
other ways.
More han 20 per cent of the
3,47S students in the high and
Junior high schools of Springfield
have studied music for six months
or more. The general average of
the grades of the Springfield high
schools was fuond to be 80 per
cent, while the average grade for
those studying music was three
points higher. Since 70 is the
minimum grade and 80 the gem
eral average, there is a ~differen-
tial of only u points, and the act
ual superiority of the three
points on the part of the music
students in their general school
work indicates an approximate in
crease in efficiency of 25 per cent.
OF the pupils studing music, by
far the largest number take
piano. Violin is next in favor,
and cornet, GARNET, saxaphone
and trombone follow in the order
named.
The relation of wealth to mu-
sic was brought out as an inter
esting sidelight Of the analysis.
Reed junior high school. located
in the poorer section of Spring
field, had three per cent more
pupils taking music that the Jar

in the more wealthy section of the

IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(Rv Stenhen IamesN

Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho leaves for Washington for
an extended speaking tour of the
west and south. Opposition to the
world court and dry enforcement
will be the theme of his address

Mrs. Borah again postpones a
trip to Europe and will remain in
Washington until autumn. Then
she will go west. The wife of
the Idaho senator has been post

She always e~ntertains the hope
that her distinguished husband
will accompany her next year.
He never has. This year a sail
ing date was fixed, and cancelled.
And next year, it is almost safe
to say now, will be one year too
close to 1928-the presidential
conventions and elections-for
the leonine senator to take a va
cation.
Observers in Washington say
that Borah's every action these
days is taken with an eye single
to the presidential election, pos
sibly with himself in the role of
candidate on an independent plat
form. During his long years of
public service his friends claim
that other men of smaller politi-

others scheme for. If ever he is

BEAUTY IN TRAGEDY

Once in a blue moon something
painfully beautiful happens
something that restores your
faith in humanity and makes you
believe in an irresponsible ele-
ment of goodness.
Just now it is the story of fiji
teen Canadian lads chung to
their c&psized canoe through a
chilling night and until only four
were left.
No fighting for the right TO live
among them-no kicking of the
little fellows aside-no appeal to
the law of seIf-defense and sur
vival of the ittest.
The stronger, larger boys swan
calmly away in the dark when
they found that the water-logged
craft would not bear the weight
of all.
Such things go far to compen-
safe us for the mean streaks men
frequently display, for the din
that seIfishness is always raising
and for the chronic whine that we
are inherently bad.
The tragedy leaves heart-brok-
en- parents, of course. But
through the tears their eyes can
not help shining with pride in one
of those rare exhibitions of cour-
age which not only does honor to
the boys who died, but sets an ex-
ample that is bound to make other
boys nobler.-Helena Independ-

 The official announcement that no further regular bulletins concern ing the condition of the Prince of Wales would be issued is regarded q good omen. His physicians have not given any intimate details re- garding the operation he underwent or the condition of his ear. It is thought, however, that there Is no likelihood his hearing will be af- fccted. IL fig pointed out that the incison of the ear drum is not an uncommon operation.
 How soon the prince will be able to leave his room will depend on his general health and the weather It is said that even If he is confined indoors longer than week 1t will not necessarily mean that his pro- gross toward recovery Is unsatlSfac- tory.
