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."

There are some very intense, thrill ing scenes In "The Brute,” which Is a story written by Frederick A. Glimmer that has been dramatized, put into 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.

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, is preparing plans and spiclfications to run the levee just as quickly as possible from East Boundary to the C. and W. C. Railroad, near Sand Bar Ferry.

On the screen there are certain parts of the play that are brought out more strongly and more vividly than In the stage production which proved an unlimited success everywhere it was seen. In addition to the reserved seats there are hundreds of seats available for the night presentation at 10 cents. 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? A JOURNEYMAN. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 26, 1914. YET AT ENIIGMA Washington.

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. Accompanying the team to Thomson were Mr. T. F. Balk, Mr. T. H.

It is a charac ter study of a mountain girl in her changing phases from the almost wild, ragged girl of the hills, awak ened to the realization of perhaps better things in the world beyond her ken, by a chance meeting with a young prospecting engineer to a young woman who after years of simple schooling, becomes a far different be ing.

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.

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.
