One writer has since given stronger expression to our belief belief in saying that the development of the subject of music in schools is âdvisable because music is an absolute necessity in the life of the Canadian people, or any other people. If this idea is revived through the press and the seed is sown in all educational •quarters, the Canadian youth has sufficient sufficient ability to insure a gratifying harvest of results.- The country stands to benefit socially and morally from the success of the movement. During our visit to the neighboring republic we noted the attention given to music in the schools of New York, and we are informed that an energetic and general movement is well under way to popularize the slogan "Music in Every Home," in a general, national national and effective manner. * * * * One musical journal makes a very strong appeal for the introduction of violin playing as a school study.

Its growth was due to advertising, and its continued increasing volume is the result of persistent advertising. The report of his address continues; "Persistent and definite advertising was the keynote of Mr. Wright's ad- vertising creed, which years of experience experience had taught him was the cor-, rect method to produce results. Newspaper Newspaper space with handbills carefully distributed, as an auxiliary, constituted constituted the best advertising. * * - * * Spasmodic advertising is of very little use; even large spaces in newspapers newspapers used only occasionally, fail of the desired effect.

To-day we read this item in a labor publication publication : A newspaper reporter in a city which celebrated "pay up" week recently, recently, started a dollar bill out on Monday, with à slip of paper attached. attached. During the week all through whose hands the dollar passed wrote their names upon the paper, and on Saturday evening, Friend Reporter received back the dollar in his pay envelope. Twenty-seven names were inscribed on the paper. In one week the bill had 'served to pa'y the butcher, the baker, and, figuratively speaking, the candlestick maker, and the doctor and newspaper publisher, too, no doubt. Gentle reader, does not this little incident appeal tg your sense of honor, honor, too? "Owe no man anything but love," is the divine 1 injunction, but our object in calling attention to this pretty. "pay up" story has a double purpose. It -vividly illustrates that the real basis of wealth is work. This truth was self-evident in the days when money was not plentiful and people dealt on the barter or trade principle. Later with the gçowth of commerce men developed money as medium of exchange, and to-day too many confuse the'medium with the base. The dollar bill, it is seen, did the work of twenty-seven. But it in itself did not create any wealth. The dollar bill was merely the medium of exchange of value. It did not in- "creàse its value, in any sense. It was still a one-dollar bill. • The twenty- seyen dollars were created by the twenty-seven men. 1 ' And just so, every 5 time ŸÔU dô a dollar's worth of .useful work,. YOU create a dollàr, bring a dollar of wealth into existence existence for you where there was none before, and this whether you are the Medes and Persians. Be on time al* ways is a good injunction. Mày we talk a little here on a question question that interests a very .wide constituency constituency of-readers? It is about the newspaper situation. Every \ sane Canadian, male and female, should be interested in the local newspaper especially. It is well called the "home paper." A live-wire editor, recently wrote this paragraph: Do your city papers say anything in regard to your locality? Do they contain notices of your schools, lodges, churches and hundreds of local local matters of interest' which your home paper publishes? Not an item. Do they say a word calculated to draw attention to your town and aid your entèrprises ? Not a line. And yet there are men-who take contracted views in this - matter, who think that unless they are getting as many fancy from birth ter six years of age, childhood from six to twelve, anti the adolescent period from twelve years to manhood. The trying time in the government of a boy is in the adolescence. adolescence. Onë-third of all the population population of this city is in the adolescent age, and so you see we are dealing with one-third of all the people. "Why should parents relax the reins of guidance for the boy in his teens,, when he is in the most critical stage--the 'street gang' stage. This relaxation is not intentional on the part of the parents, it is only that the boy himself feels the call of the street and the gang and the parent fails to go with him. In a way the gang spirit is legitimate, but the father should in spirit go with the boy and the mother and the home should receive the gang. Recall in memory the pleasures pleasures of your young days when you went with a crowd and have sympathy with your child in that same enjoyment." enjoyment." . Oils Soothe Disease -.
