Hy this plan, Professor niehard aon pointed out, educators aim to put county udmlnlsiruttan on tin same, basis as the present city hym hi. A county school bourl whtwu members are elective, munuges the districts of the whole county. This ellinlnaiea the local school board, which has been a great problem in flrpool udmluistraiion.

Like wise, standard teaching require ments are raised and the conse quent better salaries may Induce the professional teacher to remain In the county system raber thpn to seek a city positlon.- This system of school adminis tration is used throughout many states, of which Piatt Is perhaps lite best organised.

Conservatories of music are de clining alarmingly In Ot-rmali). Itecently an Institution with n normal enrollment of 3S pupil went bankrupt, and a itreut mai.y smaller undertakings have been forced to ilnuldute. During the inflation period Ihi-se Institutions were kept above water only by tho fnct that th foreign music students paid five times the. tuition of tho. natives. Hiiice stabtllitatlon bus taken place however, thousands of foreigners havo left (lermany. finding It- too expensive, and the music lovers who remain ' behind can for Hi.-' most part afford to pay only about one-half the pre-war 1 11- tion fee. How desperato the situation Is may be Judgjediby tho furt that the conservatory students arc per mitted lo piny In movie bouses and In cnles, a thing ,lbnt was anathema beroro the war. There is also no objection lo their earn ing money on Ihu side by playing at dances. Ths chief reason for thn plight in which the musical art finds Itself Is the fuel that the inflation period and the war have wiped out the middle class, which he fore the war was the principal supporter of tbe finer arts.
