TCTE Atirtiirt The various stages of
the British campaign which has now
broaght them into Palestine are marked
: "by the stations on the wonderful new rail-
cross the Sinai desert. J
of these statKos tell how the
Turks bar ben artvep back step by
step Romani. Katia. El Ariso and Rata
marking the sucresstva phases of their
retirement.
The country In. which the army now Is
operating is on the fringe of the desert
which divides Egypt from the center of
Palestine. So far as army observation
goes it does not flow with either milk
or honey: if it would only flow with wa-
ter the army would ask no more of it.
It has been a battlefield from time im-
memorial a Flanders of the East Mod-
ern Gaza is said not to be on the uune
site as the ancient city with whose rates
Samson made so free. It looks a pleasant
enough town but is a very unhealthy spot
in which to live.
The privileged traveler alights at the
last station of the Desert railway in the
midst of a country of rolling downs not
unlike some parts of Kngland or of the
Central West. Much barley is grown
here.
Inland the country Is flatter and beyond
the Turkish line la a range of hills
stretching away to Beersheba in the east.
The wadis or water courses are the most
distinctive feature. The most important
of these is the Ghuxsa. which varies in
width from about SO yards to fully half
mile.
' Nearly every part of the British m-
rttrA im rfimntftit nn the beah at bath
ing times men from every county ef
England. Scotchmen. Irishmen. Welsh-
men. New Zealanders. Indians and
Egyptians of all types. The scene Is an
unforgettable one and the swim is al-
ways followed by a delectable lunch of
figs and olives fresh from the trees.
The fly nuisance is the army's greatest
Infliction. Drastic measures have now
done a great deal to diminish the evil.
Nothing however can save the soldiers
from tleir other great discomfort the
sand which continually blows into eyes
nose and mouth.
A good many men have been bitten by
scorpions which though not serious Is no
Joke especially If the offender is one of
the large black variety. Tarantulas also
are fairly common but they run away
whenever possible and only bite if drawn
into a corner.
On the whole it is not a bad country
for campaigning. The soldier need never
be cold and never can be wet.
How to Get Credits
v For Study of Music
Granting credits for music study in the
Houston schools has given rise to the
necessity for examinations in that sub-'
ject and Dr. T. W. Horn superintendent
of the city schools has issued the fol-
lowing statement relative to the situa-
tion: "In order to graduate from the Hous-
ton high school a pupil must receive cred-
its for IS units of work each credit rep-
resenting a year's work In some recog-
nized and standardized subject.
"in all good high schools there Is s
constant tendency to extend the list cf
subjects on which credits may be pre-
sented. This does not in any way lower
the standard of the school but it does
give to the pupiis greater latitude in se-
lecting their work.
"For instance the Houston high school
has recently added to the list of possible
credits four credits In French and four
in music. Of the music credits two may-
be secured by taking four years of work
in the high school and two may be se-
cured by doing four years of work in
muelc under competent instruction out-
side of the high school.
"These latter credits are to be recog-
nized partly as a matter of simple Jus-
tice and partly as a means for recogniz-
ing the Importance of the great art of
music. The high school authorities know
perfectly well that not all the good music
in any given community can be taught
in the high school or in any other one
Institution. What Justice would there be
in giving one pupil credit in graduation
for music work he has done Inside the
high school fend then in refusing to give
credit to some other pupil who lias per-
haps done equally good work but has
done it with some other good teacher not
in the high school?
"The view taken by the high school is
a broad one. It does not recognise any
one method of teaching music nor does
It require that any special literature or
any special editions of music be used. It
puts all music teachers publishers and
dealers upon exactly the same basis. It
merely requires that any pupil who ap-
plies for credit in music for work done
outside the high school shall stand a cer-
tain standardized examination.
"In other words it puts music on ex-
actly the same basis as any other sub-
ject with reference to high school cred-
its if a boy comes to school and claims
that he has studied Caesar or algebra the
school does not ask him by whom he has
been taught nor by what method. It
merely allows him to take an examination
on the subject. If he passes this exam-
ination he receives credit for the work he
1 has done no matter where wbea or with
whom he has done it.
"The situation is exactly the same with
reference to music. The Houston high
school has standardized its examinations.
All these are given by our musio super-
visor and are given alike to all appli-
cants. There la absolutely no preference
given to any teacher method or firm."
