TION FOB THE ASSISTANCE 80 GRANDLY GIVEN THEM BY THE ', MONMOUTH NORMAL VISITORS j ENTERTAINED AT THE MARION HOTEL AND GO HOME IN AUTO MOBILES. In iptta of many local attractions, the second of a series of meetings to promote the establishment of public playgrounds for children was held at the High School assembly Wednesday evening. President Ackerman, of the State Normal school, at Monmouth, came over with Senator Hawley and . about 30 of the faculty and students, with a class of children from the train log school to put on folk songs and dances, and some of the games taught the children In playground work. Rev. P. F. Schrock, of the First Congrega tional church, made the opening ad dress and heartily endorsed the un dertaking to establish playgrounds at Salem. Ex-Mayor Geo. F. Rodgers made a strong plea for a better chance for the children of the city to have an opportunity for normal development along modern educational lines. The remarks of both gentlemen were well received. The subject of "Folk Songs" was formally presented by Miss Mln ette Harlan, musical director of the Normal school, as follows: What Are Folk Songs! Some one said: "Deep In the heart of a people lie many wonderful and beautiful things. Fragments of great poetry, traditions of godlike heroeB and legends of many a noble deed are enshrined In song and story. Every race has an accumulation of"tradltlon, which, as It has passed through many minds and been thereby unconsciously moulded, can bo said to express the spirit of the people, rather than that of an Individual. Running like a golden thread through this mass of tradition are many beautiful melodies; melodies of rii elemental simplicity akin to that of the wild flower and having a direct ness of appeal which touches our hearts at once. These are folk songs, the song of a folk or people. As to the origin: The true folk song has traveled a long way. Its begin ning dates back to 3000 B, C, and has been caught up by some of Its hearers and treasured as a dear reminder of a happy time, Music was handed down by transmission, and as It was sung by the people to one another It lost much of its original character, but In turn gained some charactorlstlo com mon to all the minds through which It passed. Dimly and often Inaccurate ly remembered It passed from genera tion to generation unconsciously al tered a little here and there. Gradual ly It was perfected until every note became golden In Its melodlo value. Only those notes of the niolody were retained In the popular mind which were absolutely necessary to express the musical Idea. All superfloiiB ones dropped silently away. Thus Is a true folk song; and the secret of Its won derful appearance and heart-touching power lies In the fact that It has been practically composed by the spirit of a people which Is deeper and more sin cere than the spirit of the Individual. Robert Schumann has said: " List en carefully to all folk songs; they are a storehouse of most beautiful mel ody, and unfold to the mind the Innate character of the different peoples." "But who wrpte these lovely songs?" asked Elizabeth. Reinhordt. said: 'They are not made at all ; they grow, they fall from the clouds; they fly over the country like gossamer, here and there, and are sung at a thousand places at once. We find our very own doings and sorrows In these songs.' It seems as If we had all helped to make them. Therein lies the reason for the revival of the songs: They are taking hold of our country and will soon be sweeping It full length from East and West, and, If you please, from West to East. And why Is It the folk songs have lived until now? Be cause In them Is pictured the life of the heart, from great estatlc Joy to the deepest depth of sorrow that the sym pathetic heart can reach. In other words, my dear friends, we all love the folk song, because It is in ub .around us, and It is us. Three parts to program. First ,a Russian song, depicting a home scene between mother and daughter, Miss Blanch Frldd and Miss Florence Tate. Second, a Scotch song, "Calle Her rln,' 'which depicts the Scotch fisher women, Misses Lynn, Mickelson, Ellis and Davis. Third, scene In an Irish home, In troducing characters and songs of dif ferent nations adding Misses Peery, Stark, Dunsmore, Dunlap, Copeland. Great Enthusiasm Prevailed. Miss Harlan Is an enthusiastic work er with young people and children In music, and her remarks were received with great approval, and the most pleasing entertainment ever put on In Salem was then given to an audience of about BOO people. Principal Kirk and Janitor Lowrey and a bunch of high school seniors were on hand to act as curtain raisers, and the program was put through in fine style. The folk songs were encored, and when a minister's daughter, who Is a normal school student, wound up the Irish fair scene with nn old-fashioned Irish Jig, the applause grew uproarous. She was recalled, as were others, and when Miss Gertrude Wilcox put on her trained class of playground children, with their games and dances, there was no disposition to grow weary on the part of the audience. The children enjoyed It as much as the adults. There was a large attendance of Sn lem ladles and young people and chil dren, and the normal program delight ed them all. Hon. P. II. D'Arcy closed the even ing's program with a strong appeal for better playgyround facilities for the children of Salem. He told of the good old days when the boys of his time played ball where the court house grounds are now laid off, and enjoyed the hospitality of the old swimming hole on North Mill creok, where fine residences now stand. Those days were ovor and the greater demnnds of growing cities must be met. Mr. D'Arcy put the meeting In the liOBt of spirits and great results are expected to be accomplished. At least one piny ground will be estab lished In this city this summemr, and an effort will be made to secure the same In each district of the city. Meet Friday N ight. The playground extension workers will meet on Friday evening at the Englowood school where a fine pro gram will be put on for the neighbor hood. - Mrs. Wheelock, musical di rector of the Salem public schools, will put on a program of children's musical exercises at the high school assembly on Saturday night of thlB week. A committee will be organized this week to finance the playgrounds movement.

Another water meeting was held last night at the city hall and it now appears as though there will be no more such meetings, at least for the present Chairman Itigdon of the special water committee, decided Inst night that on account of the luck of Interest In such meetings, that it was useless to call an more. At the meet ing last night of First ward citizens, less than a dozen persons attended, the sentiment of that meeting beini; ti use all honorable means to ac quire the waterworks by agreement or arbitration, and although the vole was not unanimous, It passed by a good majority. Mr. Rlgdon Is of the opinion that an election must be called to vote on the question of bonds before condelil natlon proceedings can be commenced and with this thought In mind it is his Intention to make a report next Monday night to the council, favoring such a step. While not discouraged over the re sult of the meetings held In the var ious wards, Mr. Rlgdon feels that proper Interest has not been luken In the matter. A question of so much importance as that before the ptople should have the carefd con sideration of every citizen, who should let his views be known and the meetings were for this purposa. At some of the meetings a large mm -ber were present, and the sentiment was to acquire the water works; but at most of them the plan of arbitra tion as championed by Alderman H. O. White, waS favored. At all, the senti ment was almost unanimous In fnvor of purchase, the only difference be ing the method to be pursued. TOMORROW CIRCUS BAY If! SALEM The Sclls-Floto Conrolldated Cir cus, which comes here tomorrow is a combination of two of the most pop ular bIiows which have heretofore toured this country. For many years now and almost at the same time each season, this attraction has vlBlt ed this city and it can be truly stated that at no time have they given a performance which has not been fully up to the highest Btandard set by the biggest traveling tent shows and thoroughly satisfying In every way. This season tho management prem ises to bring back a circus which Is greatly enlarged and possessing many new features heretofore unknown to the sawdust ring or hippodrome track. These will embrace a horse that goes up In a balloon, a man shot from the mouth of a loaded cannon, 40 clowns, the Troupe De Louvre In poasog In mnrble, the Rhods Royal Company of educated horses, Mlos Emma flick nry, greatest of all equestriennes, the Onliiranio Sisters, an elephant which runs a race with a pony, thoroughly schooled hunters in high Jumping foals, tho Smith Troupe in a very novel revolving trapeze act, the fa mous educated elephants which have no superiors, and added to all of this will bo the conventional fea'uros of the circus which have pleased and de lighted thousand from the bi'dnivug of time. The historic street parade, without which even a circus of this magni tude would not be complete,' has been announced to commence at 10:30 to morrow morning. This will give prospective patrons an opportunity of Judging the consequence of the Sells Floto circus. It might be added that even the parado Itself will present ninny novel features. The circus will arrive here on three special trains and will probably be gin to unload about daylight, and long beforo most of the children arc out of bed. The regular ticket wagons will be opened on the grounds as early as 9:00 o'clock so that those who wish to secure tickets without getting In the crush may do go. ' The management further an nounces that their policy of popular prices will remain the same as In augurated three years go. Twenty- flv cents admits to the menagerls $ietectleWe0!
