Cltlxsns Through Leading Organiza'
tIons Favor Measures to Assure
Continued Revenue for State

Montana cannot neglect the educa-
ton OF her youth. or shirk RESPONSE
bility In the proper car Of the un-
fortunates and the delinQuents placed
In her charge. It Is this thought that
rings through every one of the resolu-
tions passed by the innumerable state
organizations In favor OF Referendum
Measures 80 and "a.
The organizations endorsing the
measures include the State Federation
Of Women's Clubs, the State Press
Association, State Federation OF Labor
and many state and county groups of
businessmen, farmers and others. All
express the thought that this state
like all others. must carry out its OBJ
legations.
They point out that intollerable o n
ditions Of over-crowding exist at such
institutions as the State Hospital for
the Insane, State Prison. State Or
phans' Home, State Industrial School,
and others and that the 81 5000, 900
bond issue which will be authorized
by the passage of Referendum 80 will
make 1t possible for the legislature to
catch up or some Of the long neglected
repairs, requirements and needed add
lions at state institutions. They point
out too, that the state no longer can
put off remedying these conditions.
Equally serious are the conditions
which make necessary Referendum 81
for a renewal Of state support for the
higher educational institutions, accord
Ing to the Montana organizations.
They point out that support for state
higher educational institutions expire
this year and that this measure will
renew this support. Without Referen-
dunn "a these institutions will have no
assured support after December Of
this year. This measure, because 1t
will provide a little additional revenue
for the state at a cost OF only $1.2
per capita, also will make 1t possible
to reduce state warrant indebtedness
which nov Is costing the state approx
tmately $3.50 900 annually for interest

That there is q definite connec-
Ton between the study of music
and grades made in other subjects
would seem to be true according
to an interesting survey recently
made of the high schools in
Springfield, Missouri. Several ia
terpretations of these findings are
possible, says the Conn Music Ger
ter in analyzing these figures, but
all of them tend to show that TIE
student who studies music is con-
siderably ahead in his grades than
the average for the school body as
whole.
Four high schools were studied
in the survey, and the average
grades of those in each school who
studied music were compared with
the general average for that
school. The Increase ranged from
"a to 8 points on the basis Of a
hundred percent. Taking the
average Of music students for the
four schools and the general aver
