Donning School of Improved
Music Study
MRS. FRANK A. RICE
Announces that she has received from Carrie Louise Dunulng a
diploma as an exponcut of the Dunning System of Im
proved Music Study, which includes the Faolten prin
ciples concentration and the Leschetlzky Technic.
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters
aud rhythm sticks. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with
graud staff attached, simplifies notation by uniting these two im
portant factors.
Kach difficulty is presented in such a thorough manner that
a child of ten or twelve years can master transposition, scale
building, melody writing by dictatiou, the Dominant Seventh
and Modulation. The written work teaches the student that music,
as a language, they must learn to write, as well as interpret.
The muscles of fingers, wrists and arms are strengthened by
table technic; ear training and sight reading forms a 'part of every
lesson.
Mrs. Rice will be glad to show you BY APPOINTMENT
the especially made apparatus for teaching this system which in
cludes one class lesson and one private lesson each week, making
a far more economical way of acquiring a musical education.

siyeat una time to try and build
a nospitni, but better to rent a
building for the purpose and
equip it for emergency puprposes
at least. It was decided that
$10,000 would do this satisfactor
ily and the formation of a stock
company would be the best
course to pursue. The members
present wore given an oportunity
to subscribe for this stock, com
posed of one thousand shares nt
ten dollars per share, and a
number signified their willing
ness io taKo irom live shares up

of tho proposed raise in rates of
the telephone company wob
broached and Attorney J. O.

test was mado tho company
would in all probability rccoivo
the raise asked for. Mr. Mon
anan suggested that he appear
and protest in behalf of the
club, to which Mr. Bailey acaui
esccd, provided members of the
club appear also.
After tho meeting had adjourn

The delightful manner in which
the St. Johns Community club
was entertained by tho princi
pal and teachers of "Williams"
school, or better known as
Central school, was appreciated
by all who attended the meet
ing last Tuesday evening. On
entering the building tho cordial
reception tho guests received
from Prof. Van Tlnn nnd the
teachers made one feel at homo
immediately. Bv a irreat deal of
labor and patience the assembly
hall was transformed into a veri
table rustic garden by the use of
Oregon grape, bright hued aut
umn leaves and potted plants as
decorations. The display ot work
done by the different grades was
snlendid. It wns evidence of tho
excellent und thorough training
the children ore receiving ns
thoy pass from grade to grado
in their studies. Light refresh
ments consisting of sandwiches,
fancy cakes and coltce were en
joyed by all. A Member of the
Community Club.

tho dock was in some danger nnr

which will have n capacity for
crushing 100 tons of copra,
dried cocoanut, a day. This mill
will mean imports of copra in
value more than -1,000,000 a year,
and it will mean In value a
finished product of more than
$0,000,000 a year. The demand
for cocoanut oil, crude and re
fined, is so great that it is not
unusual for sinirlo orders to be
received for 50 carload lots, each
car containing ou.uuu pounds.
Cocoanut oil varies in price from
14 to 18 cents n pound, so thnt
one can readily see tho volume
of business in dollars to which
i this industry has grown.
In spite of the fact that all
three of tho regular services are
devoting the greatest part of
their publicity camimitrns to
advertising the advantuges of
their respective vocational train
ing systems, the lure of foreign
lands still holds good. Statistics
compiled at the recruit depot for
tho Marine Corps on the West
Coast show that forty-two per
cent of tho rookies give u desire
to see the world as tho most
attractive inducement shown by
tho recruiting posters, thirty-
three percent nro attracted by
the educational advantages, and
of tho remaining twenty-five
percent three out of five join
the colors because of industrial
depression und two out of five
come in for military training.
These figures were based on the
expressed desire of BOO recruits,
nnd tnlly remnrkubly well with
the experience of recruiting
officors throughout the country.
