HAIL TO MUSIC WEEK.

Music is to me an ethereal rain,
an ever-soft distillation, fragrant
and liquid and wholesome to the
soul, as dew to flowers; an incom-
prehcnsible delight, a joy, a voice
of mystery, that seems to stand
on the boundary between the
sphere Of the senses and the soul,
and plead with pure, unrefined
human nature to ascend into re-
gions of seraphic uncontalned
life.
There was never a more beauti-
full musical treat than the Twi-
light Musicale presented at the
Methodist Church Thursday after
noon just as the SUI was sinking
in the West to close another day.
Meditation from That's by Mas
senet with Mrs. Crum at the piano
and Mrs. Lipsey at the organ was
an exquisite number.
Mr.. Malcolm Carter never play

to flow into the Potomac River, was
continued yesterday for three weeks.
Davis. night Watchman for the Nc
CURE & Rolfe Construction Co., was
arrested after he allegedly permitted a
500-gallon oil tank to run over as it
was being filled from 9,0O0-gallon
tank An automatic valve between
the two tanks failed to close, it is said.
Judge Robert E. Mattingly granted
the continuance at the request OF the
Federal prosecutor, who informed the
court an attempt was being made to
reach an agreement whereby the COM

Arlington Memorial Bridge, which
were damaged by the oil

One out OF every three boys and

Arthur Williams, executive assistant

that present appropria iations will per-
NIT aid to about $4,000 college stu
dents in 1878, a decrease of $4,000,
or one-third, from last year.
He said the number of needy high
school students earning IS or less a
month probably will be cut from about
258,00O to 10000 on the basis Of
present appropriations.
Educators said the decrease may
prevent realization of their estimate
of 100000 high school students for
1878. That number, they said. rep

high school graduates in this country
Ill ,86l 900. Last year there were

Economic Situation Better.
officials said rapid increases in
high school enrolment are due to
the economic situation and to the
American philosophy which leads men
to insist that their sons have better
educations than they had"
Other factors cited were changes in
high school curricula which have in
terested students in remaining the
full four years and development of
junior high schools. The latter have
advanced the grade when most stu
dents drop out of school from the
eighth to the ninth, according to E NJ
