"Musical Education in the Schools" is the title of a highly interesting article by Miss Elizabeth Breazeale, who has been teaching during the past session near Honea Path, and who is spending the smumer in Anderson. Miss Breazeale is, by adoption, an Anderson girl. The article referred to was given prominent space in the Southern School News, published in Columbia. In text it is original, and is indicative of careful thought and study. The article is given here in full as follows: Musical Education in Schools. (By Elizabeth Breazeale.)

If only those long winter evenings of en- ^ forced monotony conld be nsed to advantage! But thereseeme<Ltoba no help. To be sure, there were oc- ^ casional school entertainments, but _ few of the older ones were ever pre- ^ sent. Many could not come because of ill health, babies, home duties, or as was often the case, deficiency in wardrobe. There was, of course, the . school library. But what interest could most of the books have to the in fathers and mothers with such a rt limited knowledge of reading, and a > jt still more limited range of expe'ri- I ey ence? Beside the interests andi^ pleasure of the older ones there was j ^ to be considered the amusement of j .pi the younger generation which demanded entertainment at any price. ^ The crying need was for some form n 6f refining enjoyment which would rpreach all and have its appeal to ali U] While giving the matter serious el thought the idea of a circulating Vic- fc trola presented itself. Why not? As ^ soon as possible an entertainment was given at which was raised sufficient money to purchase a small Voc- 4 trola, and a modest collection of re- _ cords. The effect was wonderful. J Each family could hardly wait its - - " ? ? m turn to claim tfte Victroia, ana wmie rthe Victroia was at the house it was che occasion for friends and relatives, far and near to -come and spend the evening. The enjoyment and appreciation shown were remarkable. Few if . any, had ever before heard reai nusic, yet many of the favorite selections were from an artistic and 0f musical standpoint the best. sf. Through this circulating instru- to nent hopes are being stirred, the best ^ n the heart is being brought out as aever could be done by any other nethod in a thousand years.

' WILSON SHOCKS PARTY'S GUARD St Louis, June 16?President WO- :$| ion is taking charge of the re-organi- ' atiori of the Democratic national lommitee for the coming campaign. rhis morning something .of a'sensaion was caused among the leaders by ; he report, afterwards verified as a practical certainty, that the new ihairman of the committee to succeed flm.
