SEESGOOD FROM
MUSIC STUDY
Finds Children With Musical
Background Are Better
Fitted For Life
MUSICAL ART FOR HOME

Music confers advantages and
offers opportunities superior to any
other study" says Elizabeth B.
Johnson, of the Delaware State
Music Teachers Association mo
one, who has not studied music, is
in a position to appreciate its man
fold advantages Not merely to
those who devote their lives to
music, but to those who have a
part in the every day work of the
world" says Miss Johnson Boys
and girls who have the advantage
of studying music are better fitted
for their future life 1t may defin-
itely contribute to their success, by
giving them vision and under
standing, and daily inspiration.
Continuing she said, Zone cannot
have anything worth while, with
cut paying for it. The price of
musical ability is regular and con-
scientious practice, with patience,
and untiring determination to win
out. No doubt the criticism of us
as a people, that we lack the inter
est of having good music in the
American home, is somewhat true,
at least in these recent years. Not
SO long ago music of some variety
was always anticipated as part
of the daily program. In families
where there were several children,
trained to play different instru-
ments, miniature orchestra could
be heard OF course mother and
dad would always join in family
sing. If you demonstrate music
freely and lavishly in your home, Z"
Miss Johnson pointed out, sit will
soon spread in your community,
your city, your State, and your
nation. The private music teach
er has had no small part in build
ing a musical foundation for our
boys and girls. To them credit is
due, for making possible various
school and group activities. The
members of the Delaware State
Music Teachers Association, Inc.
have for their objective the promo
ton of the best interests of music
in the city and State and these
teachers are adequately prepared
to teach the various branches OF
musical education"

Plans for putting into effect the
program for Delaware relief under
the Public Works Administration
do not include the building of ad-
ditional camps, as previously an
nounced, says WIS. Corkran, State
director of the Delaware Mosquito
Control Work, at Lewes. In re-
CARDS to the employing of farmers
in the same type of work already
assigned to the two mosquito con-
troll camps in Sussex county, Mr..
Corkran states that the intention
is to employ in the various COM
munities in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties near the marsh areas various
farmers in units of about fifty
men, each fifty men to be worked
under one foreman. Work centers
will be established, probably a
rented building where tools and
foremen will be assembled, and the
farmers will work from that cen
ter nearest their homes so there
will be no transportation problem
involved and they can return home
each night. They will bring theil
dinners to their work in the same
manner as those working on coun'
tv roads with the engineers direct
ing their movements, and be al
lowed to return home at the clos'
of the working period.

TURKEY ADOPTING
 MODERN SYSTEMS
Admiral Bristol Gave His= tory of That Country at
 Second Church Forum

Admiral Mark l.. Bristol, U. s. N, retired, spoke last night at the Second church forum. He, pointed to the surprising progress made in Turkey in adopting modern prac- tices in government, law, education and customs under the regime of Mustapha 'Kema1. Admiral Bristol was in command of the American destroyers in Turkish waters after the war and represented the United States in negotiating the first post war treaties.
 The speaker told of the suffer- ings of the refugees from Asia Minor who fled before the Turks in the war between Turkey and Greece, of the atrocities that were heard of, of Kemaps first victory at the Lausanne conference, of the simplified marriage laws, the abol- ishment of the wearing of wells by women, the abolition of the fez for men and other matters pertaining to Turkey.
 Admiral Bristol's destroyers and those of the allied nations rescued. 274,00O refugees in Smyrna from the Turks, the audience was told. oAuCO 1ACAAldl buCCcCucA HI IldVlHS Turkeys boundaries defined at the Lausanne conference, however, things have changed Turkey has been reorganized and modernized and it's courts have been put on a high level. Civil marriage cere- monies are now recognized and the women's wells are not necessary anymore. The men don't have to wear the fez, the Latin alphabet has been substituted for the Arabic and women are being urged to at- tend schools.
 Discussing reported atrocities by the Turks, Admiral Bristol said there were undoubtedly come but that the reports were inaccurate and prejudiced.

By that time it is exp cted that enough new posts in cities and towns throughout Connecticut will have been formed to insure the at- tendance of over 300 delegates. Therefore, the election ofsperman- ent officers of the state department, originally scheduled for yesterday. has been postponed until the hold ing of the Waterbury meeting.

Defied Cold on Dare

Another story have heard her tell of that first winter at school is about the day a group of boys dared her to take off her shoes and stockings and walk barefooted along the rails between the hitch- ing posts surrounding the school yard.
 It was bitter cold but, undaunted, mother stripped off her shoes and stockings and successfully walked on the icy rails. That night her feet were sore and blistered. Mother, always explicitly truthful, told grandmother just what had happened and I'm sure that, as she listened, my grandmother had an understanding smile.
 Because she was i'll so much, my mothers attendance at school was very irregular until she was 14. Then she entered the Grand Prairie Seminary and Commercial college at Onarga. She was en- rolled as a special student.
 Four years later. at graduation. she represented her class in the commencement exercises and deliv- red an address in German.

school until she was nine years ol school. She had an unusual knowl- edge of reading, but was unable to spell, write or do number work::'
 On her second day at school. the nine-year-old girl was called upon to read. She arose from her seat and, in full, clear voice, read from her primer:
 "Giye me three grains of corn, Mother, only three grains of corn
 To keep the little life. I have till the coming of the morn"
 No sooner were the words out than she sat down again, crying. When the teacher asked what was the trouble, mother sobbed out that her father had lots of corn and could give the little boy plenty.

their third child nrSt daugnLer, was
 well-to-do farmer chiefly of Scotch extraction, and grandmother was a hard d-working, efficient housewife of Scotch and English ancestry.
 It was the i'll health mother suffered as child that made her decide later to become doctor-a de- cison made in the days when it took courage for a woman to study and practice medicine.
 As little girl, she afflicted much of the time with malaria and have heard her tell how her father used to measure out huge doses of powdered qunine the end of knife, one such dose to be taken three times daily. How bitter it must have tasted!
 During these years she became so anemic that she forced to stay in bed for days at time. While other children at school outdoors playing, mother learned to read. Grandmother would tell her the words and their meanings.
 Because of her ill health mother did not go to was nine wears old. Then she entered the Del Ray

Enjoyed Life to Utmost

Besides studying, mother always shared <fn the work at home. Grandmother believed that all young girls should learn to cook and sew and do housework. The summer mother was 15, grand mother found it necessary to be away for several weeks taking care of a sick relative. It was during harvest time and mother was left with the entire responsibility Of the household. She managed it all.

too--as well as taking care of her two-year-old brother!
 In spite of all this, mother had a good time. No party was com plete unless "Alice'' was these. She was a beautiful, slim girl, with au- burn hair, and she had happy disposition and remarkable enthu- siasm for life.

Graduated With H0nOrs

Throughout her years of study at the university, her father con- tinued to disapprove her pursuit. In spite of this Encouragement mother was graduated with hoHors in 1895.
 She was given a post as instruc- tor at the university and continued to teach there until she developed tuberculosis. To overcome this she was sent to Denver.
 It was during her senior year at Northwestern that one day mother was sent by a professor of the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons to obtain some embryology slides.
 The slides had been prepared by Frank Eldridge Wynekoop, who also was working his way through medical school.
 That day my mother and father met for the first time.

Sometimes when something in the books was not clear to her, she would get help from the fam lily physician. He was an Aus trian and a graduate of the Uni- versity of Jena.

 She was IS years old then! She would have begun studying rnedi- cine as soon as she was graduated from the seminary, but her father objected. He said her health would not stand the strain.
 This could not stop mother. She bought a fine set of books on anat- omy (which she still has) and bored over them every evening. Her days were filled with the rou- tine work of the farm.
