Harmony is the law of life, the quality of harmonious relationship exist- ing between color and form, or between the parts and the whole, or between the worker and his material in any field of labor, constitutes ART. NO ART is so fine as to be unfit for daily use. The principles of ART can be intelligent- ly presented to the understanding of the ordinary individual so that he may see his application to the affairs of his occupation, his business, his profession and in his home. The public school offers the best opportunity for bringing the infiuence of ART into the lives of all the people. Through the mediums of the pencil and colors, the students achieve results which are definite and tangible: the cultivated emotions and trained intellect find expression in those inevitable selections of form, proportion and color which tend to make our material environment more pleasant. ln striving to express his ideals through whatever task comes to the hands, he may make his own life and the lives of others happier, more worthy and more beautiful. lt is being emphasized, ART is expressed in the humblest implement of man as well as in the most lordly decoration. The weaver at his loom, the potter at the wheel, the sinithy at his forge and the carpenter at his bench, may have an equal share in its produc- tion with the sculptor, the painter, the architect and the musician. So ART may be found at any time, in any place: it may reveal itself in small things as well as in great, liearkening always to the universal law of order, perfect fit- ness and harmony, it will uplift all who come in Contact with it. -FRANCES LEE NICHCLS. ll llllllll ll l l l l ll ll lllll l l lllllll lll ll 4 llllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllll llllllllll lllll l lllllll lll

In our own fratricidal war the Yanks and the Rebels would challenge a rendition of the songs they both knew, at least so 'tis told by some of those who remain. Away down South in Dixie was quite popular among north- ern soldiers even while fighting. Music knows no bonds save the bonds of human emotion, XYhen Han- del's Messiah seemed to fail elsewhere he took it to Dublin, Ireland and its first singing there established his fame forever. XYe know little of XYagner's music beyond snatchcs from his choruses. XYe all know much of Verdi because he wrote Il Trovatoref' or rather be- cause the so-called Miserere l0ft have I sighed to rest me j has been so frequently and sometimes so hideously dinned into our ears. It is for us therefore to learn more of the great Authors of Music. XYhen we become tired and worn or something is on our conscience, how pleasant it is to throw ourselves into the arms of a Mother or some one who takes her place, one perhaps who could not begin to sing, I-Iush a bye, darling, don't you cry-Mother is near you and day dawn is nigh. Fear ye not-XYhile Music breathes. -LUCILE CARNEY. HOME ECONOMICS Of all the many classes, In our dear old F. C. S. XYe'll hand it to our D. girls, For being the cleverest. Usually in the grades or before leaving the High School it comes into the mind of every girl what she wants to do for life work and plans to carry this out sooner or later as the years roll on. She may have decided to be a teacher, a stenographer, a nurse, an artist, or a musician. XYhatever the decision has been it is quite necessary to make plans for a better course in high school or co,llt-ge. She would not consider herself capable of entering into any one of these callings without a certain amount of professional training. Probably many of the girls have decided to be home-makers. Undoubted- ly there is no profession of greater importance and requires more careful train- ing than that for an efficient home-maker. It is only within the last few years that it has been considered proper for the public schools to train girls for the work which most of them will be doing for the longest period in their lives -that of home-making and not simply house-keeping. lllll ll I Il l l ll llll l ll
