CREDITS ARE GRANTED ON PUPILS TAKING MUSIC Marking a progressive step In the school work of the eitv is the policy adopted by Supt. J. S. Landers, Prin cipal Hamptcn and their assistants in granting school credit for music ta ken from accredited teachers on the outside. Certain conditions are im posed upon the student and, upon satisfactory evidence that these con ditions have been met. the credits are granted and count toward graduation, If a student takes two lessons a week from an accredited teacher and practices for an hour and a half each day. a high school credit Is granted each semester. The same credit is allowed to those who take only one lesson a week but whose practice is two hours da'ly. Certificates that these conditions have been met must be signed by both the teacher and the parent or guardian. In adopting this policy the school authorities recognize music as a part of the education of a girl. The pol icy works to the advantage of both the student and the school and par ents, too, are appreciative ot the ex tra Interest it arouses In their chil dren.

MISS MARGARET WIUSON FAVors I'KN TO MAKE ALL SCHOOL HOUSES SOCIAL CKNTERS WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. "Private Interests are organized; there- fore they are powerful. Only when public Interest Is organized will the supremacy of the common interest be universally recognized. Thus Margaret Wilson, tho president's daughter, summed up thai pivotal point in the movement for the use of the nation's echool- houses as social centers, in an exclusive Interview accorded the Unit. ed Press. Miss Wilson had the opportunity to study the operation of the plan during a visit In Madison. Wisconsin, and she sees In it the closer study by the people of governmental economics and pollt- lea problems. "The machinery for this organization of the public Interest is the common school system, with every schoolhouse used' as a social cen- ter," she said. "Every school building should be made a polling place In its district and when voting, the body of each district should be organized Into a deliberate body for the free discussion ' of puh'ie questions. "It seems to be axiomatic that there should be the same provision for an all sided discussion on th part of the citizens before they vote as there Is for aldormen and state legislators or any other agents of the citizens."

The shooting occurred In the center of the business district. Louis Zancanelll, an Austrian mi ner, was arrested. The police assert that Zancanelll tossed a revolver away as Belcher fell.

He enforced martial law un til he was convinced that all danger of trouble was over.

Every thing was poised today for the BLT Splash in football for this year. The annual Yale-Harvard tussle is on the brink of being called and with these two old rivals ' at each other's throats on Saturday some tall and lofty footballing is always on tap. Yale or Harvard may be booted and abased by other teams' during the season, but when they are turned loose on each other things are dif ferent. A new fire springs up where spirits lagged before, and the team that wins always comes out with an understanding of what it means to be in a fight. Yale is usually represented as a fierce looking bull dog. with ' over hanging Jaw. But the team this year In the early games, qualified nearer I t.i the sky terrier clas.s Way back in this terriers' breeding, however, will be found a strain of the ancient bull dog which the New Haven root ers expect to cling on to the son of John Harvard to the limit. It might be added. Just for the sake of argument .however, that at Cam bridge this expectation Is regarded as containing more bull than dog. Harvard is picked to w n. and should win Saturday. If the Crimson lives up to expectations, Capt Stor er's team will turn the trick of hav ing defeated Yale In two successive years for the first time In history.
