HIGH "A" ORCHESTRA

IS BEST IN NATION, DECLARES BIDDINGS Thaddeus P. Gidditgs, supervisor of music in the Minneapolis, Minnschools, who is making his third visit to the schools here, waxes eloquent on the subject of the local high school

orchestra. Besides declaring that it

is the finest high school orchestra in

the "United States, he says that its program at Nashville, Tenn., last year

was "the most important event that has

happened in the public school musis for years." Music in the local schools, in his opinion Mr. Gidding3 says, flourishes

in spite of many conditions that are distinctly unfavorable. He gives most

of the credit for the success here late

ly to J. E. Maddy who, coming from

the world of practical music and hav

ing the geuius in addition, has in

spired the ambition of the young

people. ' Leading Educator

Mr. Giddings is recognized as one of

the country's leading musical educators. He is also the aHthor of a num

ber of books and in extensive travels over the country has acquired more

than a surface knowledge of facts con

cerning the musical education of young

America,

The statement made by Mr. Giddings

Wednesday about the local schools and the orchestra here follows:

"The Richmond high school orches

tra is the finest high school orchestra in

the United States. There is no other

that even approaches it. This fact

was admitted by everyone at the Nash

ville meeting last year. The orchestra

is even better this year than last, as

there is a better balance especially in

the string section. It is probably the

only high school orchestra that has the

complete instrumentation or the syni

phony orchestra.

MINNESOTA HOLSTEIN COW BREAKS BUTTER RECORD OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 20. May Walker Ollie HolmFtead, a Holstein cow. owned by the Minnesota Holstein company at Austin, Minn., has broken the world's record for a year's production of butter, her figure for 365 days, ending at midnight Monday night, being 1,217.27 pounds of butter fat, the' equivalent of 1,521.6 pounds of butter, according to A. L. Eberhard president of the company. The former record, 1,506.9 pounds of butter, wa3 held by Duchess Skylark Ormsby, a Holstein, whose death occurred a few years ago, he said.

set a new and far higher standard of

possibilities for instrumental music in the public schools. That short program sent 1,200 supervisors home in a

thoughtful mood, determined to raise the standard of the orchestra, work in his own town. This part of the program at Nashville is the most important event that has happened in the public school music for years. "How did this happen. Thi3 is how a stranger sizes it up. There has been a tradition of Orchestra playing in Richmond for a number of years. There is latent talent in every town. It remains only for some one with vision, knowledge, and . the gumption to bring it out. I have visited here twice and gone through the schools and cannot see that music is either

unduly featured or extra time given to it. On the other hand the music in the schools seems to flourish in

spite of many conditions that are dis tinctly unfavorable. Inspired By Leader.

"So what is the answer. It Is In the man that runs it. He came from

the world of practical music instead of from the teaching field. Having

this musical genius in addition to great talent as a teacher and a leader of young people able to inspire their ambition It is no wonder that an orchestra has been developed here that is the envy and the emulation of all the rest of us. "I rather suspect," Mr. Giddings suggested "that the people of Richmond take the orchestral music in these schools as a matter of course more or less and have the idea that other cities all over the country can match these results. Far from it. The situation is absolutely unique. So true is this that in half an hour's program

last spring the city of Richmond was put on the map, and known at once as the home of the best school music. "This is one of the many functions of school music and a perfectly legitimate one. Music is the most important subject in the whole curriculum, and the sooner the school authorities of any city find it out the better. President Elliot, of Harvard, says that 'music rightly taught is the best mind trainer on the list.' No program is complete without music. It is in ad; dition to its great educational value, the greatest advertising medium of the schools. It is the department that can make the schools popular with the community. Two years ago we in Minneapolis were trying to pass a number of amendments to the city

charter; it was the music that did it. The numberless units that went out from the music departments, that got the crowds, entertained them and put them into the right mood and then the speakers told their tales and the amendments passed. "The Richmond high school orchestra does something 'of the sort at every concert they give. ' They did it in a big way at Nashville. All power to them, their leader, and a free hand and support both in and out of tho schools for this most important subject. It is important, now, but wait 10 years and -we will be amazed at the results and the place music will occupy in the educational world. It will come again as it was in ancient Greece, as the most important educational subject. "If any of those who read this are inclined to look upon this as the prejudiced opinion of one who is in the business, all I can say is, 'Wait and see'." ,

not been seen by the bandits. As they stepped outside the house Mullen

drew the revolver from the place of concealment in his clothes and began firing. Mullen was ordered released by Judge John C. Jefferies of circuit court.
