MUSIC TEACHING
IN y. S. SCHOOLS
Sooner or Later Its Culture
j Value Will Be Recognized,
i Declares Report Today Of
Federal Education Bureau.
Washington, D. C.—That seventy
five per cent of the pupils in the
grammar grades In one hundred and
nineteen public: schools out of 433 can
sing an ordinary hymn at sight, is dis
closed In a report today by Federal
Bureau of Education on its investiga
tions of music teaching In American
schools.
The Inquiry develops the fact that
about 90 per cent of the schools re
quire music, practically all of which
have the course graded The weak
ness of the present system, It Is de
clared, Is that only a small per cent of
the grade teachers are required to
pass an examination In music. The
work Is done largely through super
visors or directors of music.
The order of popularity with the
student In regard to music reverses the
order that the school authorities de
sire. It Ih pointed out that students
regard music first from the stand
point of appreciation, then history and
finally harmony.
"The less formal and academic tho
plan the greater the popularity," tho
report slates. Discussing the findings,
Commissioner Claxton, of the Bureau
of Education says:
"Although not recognized in the
course of study of our earliest public
schools, music has within the last 25
or 30 years been Introduced to some
extent Into the schools of most pro
gressive cities end of many towns, vil
lages end country communities, though
by many It Is still considered unes
sential and a fad. Sooner or later we
shall not only recognize the culture
value of music, we shall also begin to
understand that, after the beginnings
of reading, writing, arithmetic and
geography, music has greater practi
cal value than any other subject taught
In the schools."

club-owners, he said, had objected to
cutting the prices as It would de
crease the amount given the players.
According to the proposed change,
however, the players will share In the
first five insetad of four games, so
their total will not be decreased

Statement From Journeymen Plumber in
.Regard to Board of Health Rejecting
Plan for Plumbers to Stand Examination
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir—-I learn through the columns of
your paper, under date of November
26, of the action taken by the board
of health in turning down the Journey
men plumbers of Augusta. Kindly al
low us to correct the heading of your
article, as the board of health has not
turned down the journeymen plumb
ers. but has tabled a proposed ordi
nance which would have been a great
benefit to the health of the entire com
munity.
The said ordinance was to create a
hoard of examiners composed of one
master atul one Journeyman plumber
and the chairman of the board of
health, leaving the balance of power in
the hands of the said chairman. The
duty of the said board was to ex
amine all journeymen, either in whole
or partly in writing, as to their prac
tical knowledge of sanitary plumbing.
It Is true that this proposed ordi
nance was originated by the journey
men plumbers of this city, and they
deserve much credit for making an at
tempt to expose the rotten, unhealthy,
unsafe, dangerous and Inferior class
of plumbing that Is now being in
stalled by the majority of master
plumbers of this city. If the board
of health had seen this work go in
the business houses and residences as
the journeymen plumbers have they
would have done anything else than
tabled this matter.
No attention has been paid to the
pleas of the Journeymen plumbers, the
man who knows the condition of the
present system. The majority of the
master plumbers do not know them
selves how tills work Is being Installed,
hut generally leave It to the ability of
the plumber doing the work.
At a meeting of the committee cf
the hoard of health recently held to in
vestigate this matter the journeymen
plumbers were invited to be present
In behalf of the proposed ordinance.
The entire membership of the Master
Plumbers' association, with one excep
tion, were on hand to fight same. The
question wa| asked each of the master
plumbers if he could see any specific
cause why the proposed ordinance
should not be passed. The only ob
jection was that It would force some
of their present employes to learn
more about sanitation or quit, or, in
other words, acknowledging that these
men were incompetent and could not
stand the examination. Still they ask
the people of this city to allow them
to force this class of workmen on them
and Judging from the action of the
board of health they are to do so.

Jacksonville, Pl*.— Search for the
mayors of Admn A. Boggs, tha Miami
lawyer and his daughter, Marjorie,
was continued today by the police and
sheriffs forces, according to advices
received here from Miami. Every
possible clue, and these are few. Is
being followed in the hope of some
solution to the mystery.
The prominence of the late Mr.
Boggs ha* made the search for his
slayer a state-wide hunt. Every po

ties,
Authorities at Miami today were
positive that an aie found hidden
under shrubbery near the Borrs home
was the weapon which the murderer
used. They are equally positive that
the motive was robbery.

the Swedish press. Five Swedish

The contract for building that por
tion of the levee between Fifth Street
and East Boundary has already been
let to A. J. Twiggs & Sons, and as
soon as the right-of-way can be clean
ed off work will start on it.
Mr. Nlsbet Wingfield, city engineer,

In addition to the reserved seats
there are hundreds of seats available

Do the people of a city of this sizt
and class wish to do such? Are there
going to be any protests made? It
was proven to the committee of the
board of health beyond a reasonable
doubt that something should be done
to protect the lives and property of
the citizens of Augusta from unhealthy
conditions caused by unsanitary
plumbing. The board of health is con
tinually warning the public to sw 7 at
the fly. Yes, If you find a-fly around
the house take a day off if necessary
and chase him around the premises
till he Is killed. He can give you ev
erything from the toothache to bu
bonic plague. Go Into bankruptcy, If
necessary, buying oil to fill tin cans,
etc., around the yard to exterminate
the "skeeters," but if you have an
imperfect joint or connection in your
plumbing that is leaking the deadly
sewer gas into the house, pull up your
easy chair, sit there, inhale it and
grow fat. It will do you worlds of
good. Exterminate poor plumbing and
to a great extent you have solved the
fly problem.
ested parties have been produced con
ested parties has been produced con
demning the class of work and work
nen in Augusta. If might be well to
slate that till something Is done along
the lines suggested the Journeymen
w ill be heard from. We most emphat
ically deny that we are fighting for
this from a selfish standpoint. Our
selves, wives and families are living
in houses where this poor plumbing ts
often found and we suffer along with
the public, and we are ready at any
time to prove to any committee, court
or jury that what we claim is true.
The property owners should rise in
protest against the present system, as
they are paying just the same as if
it was being done in the proper man
ner and by competent workmen. Why
do the master plumbers fight to keep
their incompetent workmen? Be
cause their profit is doubled at your
loss. The repairs on plumhing in this
city is equal to that of other towns
with good plumbing laws of twice its
size. The public should realize that
to a groat extent their lives and prop
erty are in the hands of the plumber.
There are 26 states and 109 cities,
some of them smaller than Augusta,
that have this examining board and
find It beneficial; in fact, would not
go back to the old order of things
under any circumstances. If necessary
and beneficial In these cities, in the
name of common sense why should it
not he so here?

music. Mrs. T. H. Garrett played the
organ and in the prelude was accom
panied by Miss Hickman on the piano.

T. H. S. PLAYED CLOSE
GAME WITH THOMSON
Augusta Girls Won First Con
test of Season By Score of 31
to 18---New Team Does Well.
The Tubman girls played their first
basketball game of the season yes
terday against the Thomson High
school, in Thomson, defeating that
team by a score of 31 to 18. The
game was much closer than the score
W'ould indicate, for twice the Thomson
girls led in the scoring and for fully
five minutes during the last half they
held the Tubman team to a tie score.
The Tubman team this year suffers
by the loss of three star players, who
were big factors in the winning last
season, but this gave an opportunity
to see how the new material showed
up. Miss Brewer, who is a fresh
man this year, easily made the best
showing of the new players and played
her position at forward in a way that
shows she will be heard front later on
in the year. Sara Morris played a
fine game at side center, while Mar
garet Russell, the fast center of last
year’s team, suffered on account of a
weak ankle and was not up to form.
The Thomson team is exceptionally
strong and the game was intensely in
teresting at all times. They gave Tub
man a good run all the way through
and most of the winning scores were
made at the last. The Thomson team
will play a return game .on Tubman
grounds December 11, when a fast
game is expected.

PRIMROSE AND WILSON
. MINSTRELS.
•The minstrel show was built up
from the historic "first part," the
famed semi-circle, with bones and
tamborlne at the ends,” says George
Primrose, the famous minstrels star,
who la again appearing with his old
partner. George Wilson, in a big pro
duction of Twentieth Century Min
strelsy. “This was found in the first
real minstrel show, and has continued
down to the present day, although in
stead of two end men we now have
twelve. But the old-time company had
but one "bones" and one "tamo,” as
he was sometimes addressed by the
interlocutor or middleman. The old
minstrels were fertile of songs that
lingered in the memory. Whitlock,
the originator of negro minstrelsy,
may he forgotten, but how many of
the older generation have fogotten his
“Lucy Long” or "Mary Blaine." Prim
rose and Wilson Minstrels will be at
the Grand Saturday, matinee and eve
ning. Seats now selling.

RDTARIANS GIVE
$227 TO CHARITY
Subscribed in Five Minutes at
Wednesday’s Meeting in Re
sponse to Plea For Associated
Charities.
Far and away the most (notable
meeting of the Rotary club of Au
gusta was that which took place at
the Albion Wednesday. The "Big
Brother” meeting, as it was called,
was a tremendous success from every
aspect. Each member, with bid few
exceptions, brought a young working
boy to the luncheon as his guest. Toe
boys ranged from 9 to 16 years in age
and included many and various occu
pations and pursuits. They ranged
from the experienced and efficient of
fice boy, w r ell and neatly dressed, down
to the most unkempt street urchin.
About 35 boys were present.
Of all the guests, however, one stood
out as unique. Mr. R. W. Spofford
brought a little fellow only two years
old, the most grimy, bedraggled little
fellow imaginable, whose presence ful
filled another purpose than the one
originally prescribed for the meeting.
Mr. Spofford, in making a plea for
the Associated Charities, set the child
on the table to illustrate the worthi
ness of his cause. The little boy is
one of the children of a widow whe
Is unable to make enough money to
support herself alone, much less her
family.
The most important phase of the
meeting was the action taken on Mr.
Spofford’s speech in support of the As
sociated Charities. Mr. George Will
man made a motion that the Rotarv
club begin a subscription list toward
collecting for the organization, which
was Immediately and unanimously
adopted. Voluntary subscriptions given
in the course of five minutes from the
35 members present amounted to
$227 and the movement was referred
so the charity committee, which will
solicit subscriptions from all Rotari
ans in the city.
It was the quickest and the most in
spiring response to a call of the kind
which has perhaps ever been seen in
Augusta.
