Brother Joseph

We take it for granted that some one some
where, is performing the sad and terrible tasks of
the world. Then comes word that Brother Joseph
Of MolokafS leper colony is dead and with it sud-
denly comes comprehension of the sacrifice and
splendor of such life as his.
The quality that makes men willing to give a
whole life to service is quality few men possess.
Psychologists may discuss it in terms of with
drawal from the world. But without the nobility
OF such life, the world would have been a more
dreadful place for the exled sufferers out in the
Pacific.

TALENT FOR MUSIC

Through tests devised by psychol-
ogists, many interesting and useful
facts have been discovered concern
ing the aptitude of child for vari-
Gus pursuits. If the information de-
veloped by these tests be practically
applied, much time otherwise devoted
to training for activities for which
the child is naturally unsuited may
be saved.
1t is now possible, according to
Prof. Seashore of Iowa University,
to positively determine the musical
talent possessed by any child, even
before he begins the study OF music.
The sense of pitch, time, consonance,
intensity and others may each be de-
termined with mathematical accur-
acy.
Practical experiments have demon
strated that a person may have a high
sense of pitch, with a poor sense of
time, and son on. Only when all the
elements of the musical mind are
acute do we find real talent. When
these purely musical elements are
combined with a high general intelli-
gence the foundation for an excep-
tional musician is found.
Contrary to the general belief,
aptitude for music can not be de-
veloped by training. It must be in
born. A child with poor sense of
pitch at the age of eight will have a
poor sense Of pitch all his life, no
matter how much he may study and
practice. The same is true Of the
sense of time and the rest. Training
only developes that which is possess
ed at birth. A realization of these
facts would save much useless tor
ture for music students and those
who must listen to them, if facilities
for making the tests were available.
Prof. Seashore declares that no
attempt should be made to force an
unmusical child to learn music, as
the result must be disappointing to
all concerned. He says it is trag-
edy to drive an unmusical boy to
practice several hours a day on a

whereas it should average better than two inches

With the torrential downpour Wednesday and
Thursday nights of last week. the gushing water wash
ed the streets clean, and the rivers swollen flowed
more freely, moving much stagnant and filthy water.
The river is unusually low this This naturally
aggravates the sewage disposal conditions. Many
complaints and criticisms have been directed at Red

Redwood Falls is OF it's responsibility in
this respect realizes that the present dis

municipalities it's program for municipal Improvement
and construction is heavy Redwood Falls is not alone
guilty in this respect. Any number of cities are
backward in sewage disposal plants. The time is
drawing nearer when conditions demand action.
However, conditions are not bad painted by
certain persons in newspapers commenting upon
this situation The rains helped considerably to clear
the atmosphere in Ramsey Park. But unless Redwood
