hi i {i Rf EXTEND N. U. MUSIC SCHOOL CURRICULUM ee ee seen ee. Offer Degree in Community Music Work President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern university announces a reorganization and expansion of the courses in public school and com- munity music at Northwestern Uni- versity School of Music, leading to the degree of Graduate in Public School and Community Music and the degree, also, of Bachelor of Music Edu- cation. In one case this will mean four years of special musical work and in the other five years. Prof. Os- bourne McConathy, director of this department of the school of music of the North Shore university, in com- menting on the departure said that the aim is to give an opportunity to prospective students to obtain "the most thorough professional training in all lines of study involved in this branch of music education," continu- ing as follows: "The present department at North- western University School of Music was organized in the fall of 1913, of- fering a two-year certificate. In 1916- 17, a third year was added, offering a diploma. During this period 258 stu- dents have received our diploma, and among the positions held by our graduates are the following: Super- visors of Music, 112; departmental teachers of music, 37; high school music teachers, 10; music directors and assistants in colleges and Normal schools, 39; also, four supervisors of music and art, thirteen teachers of piano, voice and violin, eickt kinder- garten, grade and hig¥ school teach- ers, two professicnai performers and various. other positions in music edu- cation in America. This graduation season forty students are receiving eur certificate and fifteen our diploma in music." BR Prof. McConathy, beside el rd ing work at Northwestern, also directs music in the Evanston public schools. At Northwestern University School of Music he is assisted by Alice Eliza- beth Jones, instructor in public school music methods, and by Charles Eliott Fouser, instructor in history of music and public school music 'methods. HARD MANUAL LABOR IS BECOMING A LOST ART BY F. W. FITZPATRICK. Little immigration is allowed, labor unions have almost killed apprentice- ship and skilled workmen are growing beautifully few. Take our carpenters for instance, appallingly few do any thinking in laying out work and ver- ily most of them are little better than wood-butchers, and so with most of the trades. Perhaps the unions are right but I cannot see it and I know that in building work at least the quaiity is far below par. More than that, hard manual labor is becoming a lost art, a lost habit. Our American men decline to delve and dig into real what might be termed "sweaty" jobs. They want light machine work or better still, to sell something, "work with their heads" rather than their hands. And yet there is a stack of hard labor we cannot do by machine--yet.

M. Peterson gave some definite instructions to his de- partment relative to 'keeping the house in order" at the lake front. Not the least among these instruc- tions is the carefully guarding of the conduct of bathers and picnickers. Instructions affecting the beach, follow: The officer detailgd to watch the beach and park will enforce the fol- lowing regulations: No dressing or undressing except in the bath house. Place all clothing found in bushes and elsewhere in charge of bath house attendant for redemption at regular fee or bring same to station if bath house is closed. No fires or picnics allowed south of the pier or on private property. No ball playing or games by older children or adults on the beach or on the Village Common. No loud talking or boisterous con- duct. Require all picnickers to pick up paper and garbage at once.

Burial was at Memorial Park. Mr. and Mrs. William C. Boyden and their daughter, Margaret, have gone east to attend Harvard Commence- ment. They will be at Hyannisport for the greater part of the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Coolidge are honeymooning at Colorado Spgs., Colo. contract labor, not immigrant Chinese, not slaves, but just contracts with them for so long at so much to do, certain hard manual labor, whilst living in colonies of their own pro- perly managed. hygiened, etc., etc., by our folks under proper governmental supervision. It was unpatriotic and all that sort of thing! But, by jingo, here are the highest authorities in the land now suggesting that very thing to help us solve our ship pro- blems. We cannot compete with foreign shipping, yet we should have our own, so presto, the wise ones say "let's sail our ships officered hy Americans, but since American labor is so high and cannot be had at that, let's put on Chinese contract crews, fed and cared for better than they are at home but enabling us by the reason of a lower standard of wages, etc., etc., to meet all foreign competition." And, mark my words, they will put it over too, quite properly and sane at that. And why not do the same on the railroad and all such mass manual work? They won't compete with American or union labor for the latter will not do that sort of work, so there you are.
