All the eleven cities of the first class in Kansas have sewer systems; 70 of the 77 cities of the second class, and 40 of the three are so equipped. Of the seven cities of the second class which do not have sewer systems, one has a population of between 3,000 and 4,000, two of them have a population between 2,000 and 3,000, and five have a population less than 2,000.

Dykema Describes Function of Music in F.A.D. Assembly
Worth of Art in Education Explained; "Composition Presents Unity of Life"
Music, its appreciation and expression, was the theme presented by Peter W. Dykema, professor of public school music in the University of Pittsburgh, who annually Fine Arts Day at the all-University convolution this morning.
"All through civilization, the people have been striving for some elemen- tary goal. This is the pressing pressure of this inner feeling and desire. To find something a little more satisfactory, to take things in your own lives which you cannot culminate, such has been the function of music," said Proser- Dykema.
Exlains Value of Music
"How far are you removed from savvery?" questioned Professor Dykema. Explaining the value of music in education, he declared that the function of painter, sculptor, and composer was endeavouring to reveal the nature of art and how it appears as a perfect unity of life was the function of music and all other fine arts. Professor Dykema pointed out that many were only in the cave-man stage of music appreciation, only few were artists with the rudimentary elements of music.
"There are five elements of music," Professor Dykema declared, "rhythm, melody, harmony, form and idea. A person that likes only rhythm is stunted in his appreciation of music, although this element runs through compositions of the master musicians."
Music Is Fleeting
In correlation to the elements, Professor Dykema explained the scale of musical education in the individual's response to the advancement of music as it was developed through history.
"Music is the most fleeting of all the arts," Professor Dykema said. "In the other arts, you can again look at a picture or the sculpture if not made retentive in your memory; but in music the selection that was clearly pleasing to you when played, must be replayed to appraise."
