RANDOLPH COUNTY CONSOLIDATES MANY ONE-ROOM SCHOOLS
Rapid progress in the consolidation of schools and the passing of the oneroom school In Indiana is clearly indicated by reports compiled by the rural school survey committee, appointed by I N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, of which B. J. Burris is chairman. These reports show that since 1890 3,990 one-roora schools have been consolidated into 1,002 schools. In 1890 there were 8.853 one-room schools in the state and the number has been i educed to 4,880 in 1920, with the abandonment of 3,990 schools, a reduction of 45 per cent. Progress in Counties. The reports show that of 115 oneroom schools in Randolph county in 1890, only nine remain. Montgomery county in the same period of time has abandoned 91.1 per cent of the one-room schools in favor of consolidated schools, and the percentage abandoned iri Marion county is 90.8 per cent. Only nine one-room schools remain in Marion county of the 98 schools in existence in 1890. Rush county in 30 years, has abandoned 8812 per cent of its one-room schools; Delaware county,, 87.8 per cent, and Wabash county 85.5 per cent. In some counties, however, little progress has been shown. Harrison county had 135 one-room schools in 1890 and still has 128 such schools. Other Schools Slower. Only two one-room schools have been abandoned in Orange county in 30 years, and in Monroe county, only one district school has been closed in the same period of time, and there remain 92 one-room schools. Crawford county has 75 one-room schools, the same number that was In existence in 1890. Martin and Pike counties, according to the records, have more schools of this type than they had 30 years ago. Martin county had 88 such schools, and now has 96, and Pike county had 76 and now has 85. The largest number of one-room schools now are in Washington county which has 117; Green county, 110, and Allen county, 109.

MRS. ALICE McCLUSKEY, prominent Lewiston woman, who says she wishes she could have gotten Tanlac twenty years ago, as it would have saved her lots of suffering. Declares she is now well and happy and that she wants everybody to know about it.
"I have been trying for twenty long years to find a medicine that would overcome my troubles, but my efforts failed me completely until I commenced taking Tanlac," was the remarkable statement made recently by Mrs. Alice McCluskey, residing at No. 66 Park street, Lewiston, Me., a well known and most highly respected woman of that city. "I just feel like I would give the world to meet everyone who suffers as I did and tell them about this medicine. If I could only have gotten Tanlac twenty years ago it would have saved me a lot of suffering and money. "My principal trouble was indigestion, and for many years I could not eat meat or pastries for I would always suffer afterward. I would most always have a distressed feeling after eating and nothing seemed to agree with me. Then to add to the rest of my suffering, I contracted rheumatism in my shoulders and hips and the awful pains I suffered can never be told in words. This trouble finally got so bad I could hardly walk and my arms pained me so I could scarcely raise my hands to my head. I even had to give up my house ork and was hardly able to get around at all. "You can imagine how happy I was when, after taking only a few bottles of Tanlac, I found such a wonderful improvement in my condition! Why, it was just the medicine I needed all the time, and I continued taking it until now I am perfectly well again. I can truthfully say that I am enjoying as good health now as I ever had in all my life. I have gained about 14 pounds in weight and can again do all my housework without the least trouble. I don't get tired like I did and after doing my work I can get out and walk for blocks and feel just ftn when I get back home. I earnest

GALLI-CURCI HEARD IN GREAT "RIGOLETTO" DUET WITH DE LUCA
DeGogorza, Elman, Braslau, Destlnn, McCormack and other famous Victor artists also give noteworthy interpretations
f"TrPTitw !! mill ii i it
HE duet. "Piangi Tanciulla" (Weep, My Child), from "Rigole tto," is without doubt interpretative of one of the saddest situations ever conceived. Yet, the music is the most lyrically beautiful Verdi ever wrote. This duet, as you recall, is between Rigoletto, the hunchback Jester,
and his daughter, Gilda. on her return home after suffering at the hands of the Duke. The father calls on his heartbroken child to weep, and falling into his arms she gasps out the terrible story of her wrongs. In a new Victor Record the duet is sung by Galli-Curci and De Luca with wonderful effect. Every note of his rich, powerful baritone seems laden with an emotion deeper than pain, while above it, exquisite and clear, rises GalliCurci's soprano. This is indeed an extraordinary record. Many a lover has poured out to the moon those utterances of the heart too sacred and deep for the confidences of the human ear. Many a philosopher, wearied with speculatitn, has found peace of soul in the moon's full light Many a poet, seeking vainly through the day for inspiration, has found it in the magic of a moonlit night. "A La Luna'r (To the Moon) is a Spanish tribute to the moon sung by De Gogorza on a new Victor Record. It has a simple, slow but languorous strain, shrined among deep folds of orchestral harmony. It is sung by De Gogorza with his usual perfection of style and with profound emotional power. "Kol Vidre," sung in Jewish synagogues on the eve of the Day of Atonement, has been described as the "saddest music that man ever taught his lips to hymn or 6ound." The music, which dates back from the ninth or tenth century, is found in many variations. The form used by Max Brich, however, in his wonderful violin arrangement, is the one generally accepted by the world of music. Mischa Elman, on a New Victor Record, interprets it with a depth of feeling and plays it with the power and beauty of intonation possible only to an artist steeped in its history and its traditions. Considered simply as a violin melody, it is little short of marvelous. "My Jesus, as Thou Wilt" is another new Victor Record of a re ligious character.
This is probably one of the most beautiful hymns ever written. It was originally taken from a famous passage in. the overture to W e b e r's "Freischutz," but since has become a

sintzs it with rare sympathy and power. m McCormack Sings Song of Irish Homeland A song of peculiar significance to John McCormack is "That TumbleDown Shack in Athlone." which he sings on a new Victor Record. Athlone is the singer's own birthplace in Ireland. This is one of the songs which have endeared McCormack to so many thousands on both sides of "The Water." and contributed so much to his fame as one of the great balladsingers of modern times. It has a pleasant, flowing melody, calling for but little display on the part of the singer until the close of each stanza, when there is a long, clear upper note of unusual sweetness and purity. Mme. Emma Destinn. besides beinjf a great operatic soprano, is a woman of other talents.
She began her career as a violinist and she composes songs and
.music. fosledui Sliv" ( I a
Tears), which
she sings on a new Victor Record is of her own composition. It is the song of a lover who forsees the end of love and lets his fears of disillusion and forgetfulness be known. But for all its sorrowful
implications, the musie of the SOnfr is remarkably fresh and brilliant, at times even cheerful. The Philadelphia Orchestra has achieved a triumph of the recording art on two new Victor Records of the great overture to Wagner's "Rienzi. The overture marks the composer's, long fight for his soul. It opens with a prolonged, sweet, piercing trumpet note a signal of revolt against tyranny
the kind of tyranny that sent Wagner's self into exile. In the first record is heard Rienzi's Sy'emn prayer in the Capitol at Rome, while the torches already nickered outside the wall. The second record has within it all the pomp and splendor of the great scenes through which the "Last of the Tribunes" fought for justice in the world. Alfred Cortot. the pianist, is recording on Victor Records a series of Albeniz's remarkable Spanish dances. His latest is the Malagnena, in which a mandolin-like rhythm is repeated at brief intervals. The Malagnena is danced in couples. In the record, M. Cortot. through the magic of his touch, enables one almost to see as well as hear the pulse and throb of the mandolin, the graceful sway of living forms, the bronzed and taciturn men and the women with their creamy skins, glittering night-black eyes and hair. Some Songs for Children as Well as Grown-Ups Edward MacDowell often wrote beautiful tone poems for children. "To a Water Lily," sung by the Florentine Quartet on a new Victor Record, is one of these. It is a favorite, too, for interpretative dancing. On the reverse side of the record is Mendelssohn's "Spring Song."
Among the songs in a popu1 a r vein for grown - ups, on new Victor Records, are "I
Might Be Your Once-in-a-While" and "You Are Free," both sung by Olive Kline.
The former is the frank confession of a girl that her heart Is too big to be given entirely to one suitor. It is such a charming song, however, that one can easily forgive
the girl for being so diffuse in her affections. "You Are Free" was ore of the big hits in the operetta, "Aple Blossoms. Another new Vfctor Record connins nine dainty little songs used in a r ?Jern course of music for c'lildr-n. Thev are "A Wise Bird," "Cvckoo Mtus'ic," "A Star Child." "Pretty Tulip," "The Blacksmith" "Butter cups," "Tick-Tack." "The Violet" and "Our Flag." They are sung by Laura Littlefield. Two splendid vocal quartets "Now I Know" and "I'll Always Be Waiting for You" appear on a new Victor Record. The first, sung by the popular Shannon Quartet, has a tuneful and catchy melody with the rhythm of a rather slow fox-trot. The other song is in a kind of slow waltz tempo a song of that waiting which, if it "makes the heart grow fonder," spares it nothing in the way of sorrow tor the absent loved one. It is sung by the Peerless Quartet. Al Bernard, the "Boy from Dixie." has gained recoEnition as one of the best "black-faced" comedians ever developed. His first recordings as a Victor artist are "You Know Vvjat I

A Few ffew Fox-Trots Dance Novelties
and
Now it's the Yerkes Jazzarimba Orchestra. This is the name of a very funny round-up that uses the marimba, a curious chop-stick sort of instrument, to "make jazz" with. On a new Victor Record this orchestra plays "Behind Your Silken Veil," a medley fox-trot, and "Roses at Twilight." a medley waltz. The latter is one of those slow, dream-suffused waltzes that float you for a time into a "world of things as you would like them to be always." "You'd Be Surprised." a medley one-step, and "Keep Movin' ". a foxtrot, are this month's offering by the All-Star Trio on a Victor Record. The proper place to try this record would he in a Court of Domestic Relations. Ten bars and the "tragedies" of the average couple would dissolve in smiles and laughter. The ever-popular Joseph C. Smith's Orchestra has made a new Victor Record containing "Apple Blossoms," a clean-cut. snappy one-step, and "Carolina Sunshine, a slow and full-har-monied waltz. The one-step has all the sparkle and dash of a regimental march, and all the delightful finish ,of an artist-recording-. It introduces "Little Girls. Good-Bye." and "The Second Violin" among other brisk themes. "Carolina Suhine" is filled with fins harmonic passages, melody interweaving melody in rich and suave effects. "Mystery" and "Oh I" both medW fox-trots, are the first recordings of . Paul Biese and his Novelty Orchestra in Victor Records. These two num-, bers will rock you not to sleep, but up and down the waxed floor to two of the most irresistible fox-trots yon r ever footed.
