that Chinese be permitted to

Mr. Woodson refused to accede to
the demands OF the delegation,
pointing out that his program had
been arranged and that II was i'm
possible to change 1t at that late
hour. However. he informed the
members of the delegate that he
had scheduled the local Chinese

that they would have the privilege

"Crirne Prevention Is Subject Of Talk

ating 8 lot of musical dyspeptics" by giving the child the kind of songs not suitable to their under standing, she said. If a child is taught something in his under standing, in short time he will get 8 sense of power and achieve ment, the speaker pointed out.
 A teacher of music must know her subject, she must like and be sympathetic with children and must have sense of humor. A sense of humor will take you over many a rough road, Miss Leavitt said.
 Proper equipment should be pro- vided in teaching music, she said, and new songs should be added often.
 Miss Leavitt secuted the idea held by some that teacher who cannot sing or play cannot instruct in music. If a teacher has the essen- tial teaching background, she can teach music, the speaker affirmed.
 She called rhythm the season ing" in music and certain rhythms are out of place in certain songs. A jolly song will often give children an outlet for expression at a time when beautiful Schubert number would not do so because it would not be appropriate.
 In mentioning the effect of music on children or adults, she pointed out that people hearing music in restaurants often prove better con- versationalists because of the stim- uluS of the music.

Board Meets Today

In addition to discussion of budget, the board of education is ex- pected today to decide whether there will be change in the morn- ing and noon recess hours of local public grammar schools, it is ex- pected. Superintendent Harold E.. Chittenden at the meeting in Feb ruary advised the opening time of school be made 8:55 instead of $40 and the closing time for the morn ing session would be Is minutes la ter than 1t is at present. The pupils would return at the same time as at present for the start of the after noon recess and this would mean the noon recess would be shorter than at present. It is felt advisable by the superintendent to do this be- cause of the problem of supervising the large number of students who remain at school during the noon recess. By cutting IS minutes off this recess, it would reduce the problem, he said at the last meet ing.
 No action was taken last month in order to see what the reaction would be. It is expected Supt. Chittenden will today report on this reaction.

Music Helps Children

Music, the language of the soul, gives child outlet for certain things which never find expression in any academic subjects, Miss Helen Leavitt of Boston university and in- structor in music teaching at the Woodstock training school for teachers, Boston, told members of the Naugatuck Teachers league in an unusually interesting and clear talk yesterday afternoon at a meet ing in Salem school.
 Miss Leavitt talked in a friendly non-pedantic fashion and illustrated her talk with humorous but pointed incidents.
 Giving her subject as "Coopera- t1on in Music Education" she ex- plained that many persons think lovers of music are curios and look immediately for something eccen- tric about them. She told her au- dlence to remember in music educa- ton one Is not teaching subject or 8 grade but is teaching a child and children are different.
 The spiritual, intellectual and emotional condition of the child is the teachers first problem. Some children have an aptitude and lik- ing for music, others cannot sing and others are indifferent, Miss Leavitt said. The first element in cooperation in music education is the student, the second is music and the third is the teacher. In music there are three things to be kept in mind, beauty of music: standard music and music suited to the condition of the child.
