A Reformer representative was in that town yesterday and witnessed a somewhat unusual morning feat. He is now wondering whether it was put on for his speeial benefit or if that happens there every Friday, like the eating of fish, or the week- ly tub on Saturday night. . } All this. is by. way of introduction to the announcement that they movy- ed a barn up the main street of Port Hope on Friday. They had jacked it up, put rollers underneath and connected it by means of a rope, a block long, to a windlass. Attached to the windlass was a horse which went round, and round, like a bars rel .churn, and as it went round drew the barn closer and closer te the windlass, Then the horse and windlass were moved further up street and the same process was re- peated, The moving was an all-day job and business was phetically sus- pended during the process. That was partly due to interest in the pro- ceedings and partly to the fact that the barn seemed to have the right of way, and blocked traffic. ; The next time we go down, we hope to see Port Hope move the town pump. COULD NOT SEE THE DEATH ANGEL. In London, during the terrible time when the plague was raging and the bodies of the-dead lay in heaps in the open streets, many ter- rified and half-crazed people thought they saw apparitions of flaming swogds held in the air above the city. A woman pointed to an angel clothed in white and brandishing a sword over his head. She described it with such realism that soon the crowd also saw. Defoe mentions an experience of his: "Yes, says one, I see it plainly: there's the sword as plain as can be. Another said he saw the angel and another the face, One saw one thing and one saw an- other. [I looked as earnestly as the rest, but perhaps without as much wiliingness to be imposed upon. [ said I could see nothing but a white cloud. The woman endeavored to: show it to me, but could not make me confess I saw it. So she go to me, called me a profane | and a scoffer told me it was a time of God's anger through which such Aoubions as 1 should wonder and pe : thing in this distriet is gathered, | OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1922 Ii The Realm of Music sh NEA Badan " -- A HINDU PHILOSOPHER'S OPJN- ION OF MUSIC Here is what a noted Hindu philo- saplier had to say recently on the subject of musie, "I come. now to music, the most abstract af all the hvanches of art. In a way, music is no branch of art at all, but art in its totality, for the more complete in expression all dother branches are, the mora musical they become; we cannot define their perfection except by saying it is mus. feal. Great poetry is musical, apd so ig great painting. Not less so is a fine statue, and what is architec ture but fpogem music. In music as in. nothing. else. we come to a realm of thought and emotions that is the quintessence of all possible thoughts and emotions, It is like the flower- ing of the intuition... A single musi- cal. phrase, sometimes even one nate, hecomes like a resolving algebraieal formula for hosts of intricate proh- lems of thought and feeling--it is eternity in a mament, infinity in a point, immortality in death. What we are as man and as God ie more truly expressed in music than in any other art form. In mu- sie is fuller truth about the problem of life than in @ny other seience or philosophy. There are times when the creative musician goes heyond all veils and Browning voices the truth when he says: 'Sorrow is hard to hear and doubt is slow to clear, ' Each sufferer has his say, his scheme of the weal and woe, But God has a few of us whom he whispers in the ear, The rest may reason and welcome --'tis we musicians know." SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, Music appreciation is a subject now, taken up with the public schoo: music. In order to be able to en- joy a concert or a musical entertain- ment we must know something ahout music, that is form, harmony, melody and rhythm, In fact music is a necessary part of one's educa- tion. Folk songs are the origin of a great deal of our beautiful musie, and folk songs appeal to the heart. The listener is just as impertant as the composer or performer, and listening to music should he like listening to anything else, Early in life one should learn the names of well known composers and compositions hen heard. They should be taught the first lesson in musical structure, which is repeti- tion of phrase. Music js something more than mere entertainment--it is something to think about. THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC MEMORY CONTESTS The great impetus to start young people towards the development of music appreciation ic the Music Memory Contest. Whatever may he its faults its great virtue 1s in mak- ing the acquaintance with good mu- sic an exciting and popular pastime. With such an attitude in Canada we may go far. With the too prevalent deadly indifference toward the bet- ter music or the open delight in the poorer music, we should otherwise have long to struggle. The Music Memory Contest mus: not he looked upon as a plea for 2 wild orgy in listening to music. It is rather a statement of valies which oP ir 5. FE . 5 i 8 - % § T- Br a FP oxS ae post 7, - {; at the present time may be obtained from a rather spectacular and wide- spread interest in lisiening to music. It, moreover, maintains that the the principal values of a Music Mem- ory eontest are to be obtained from keeping it, in the early stages at least, very simple. It is enough to have the recognition of the name of the composition, the composer, his nationality and, in addition thereto, the proper spelling. of all these words. Later on, possibly in the same year, possibly another year, there may be more leisurely and more intensive study of other as- pects, which shall censtitute music appreciation in its betier sense. Let us not confuse a Music Mem- ory Contest and a highly developed musie appreciation course. The Con- test may serve as an excellent stim- ulus to the other. It is a tremen- dous dragnet which enfolds within its meshes hundreds of unsuspecting future musie-lovers who might never be touched if it were not for this simple and direct approach to the somewhat forbidding temple, or shall we, to carry out our figure say, the subterranean grotto of mu- sie, MUSIC PREVENTS (CRIME Oducation in musie as an antidote for criminal proclivities was advane- ed recently by Glen H. Woods, dircc- tor of music in the Oakland Public schools, California. There is noth- ing that will improve the taste of the young people of to-day as will a thorough drilling in the fundamen- tals of a classical musical education, said Mr. Woods, The problem school authorities had to face, he said was that of leading the child to spend his leisure time in a man- ner _that would react to his con- tinued development. The children should he taught, not a few mere facts that did not affect their lives much, but rather how to make their lives better; and in no way was this interest maintained in such a large group, and with such solidarity of interest in the group, as by music. A musical education was a prime essential for the good of society. The state was becoming acutely aware of this fact and this was why Mr. Woods was now engaged upon a survey of the conditions in the various parts of his State. Mr. Woods estimated that ome out of every four students would readily be able to identify them with their] respond to enthusiastic work on the part of the music instruetors, so. that say in a eity of 20,000 school ohils dren at least 5,000 of these should be receiving musical education. Finally this student . pladed phonograph close beside the: plane] and attuned them, She would then accompany the phonepraph. version first with the right hand aleme, and then with the left hand, and finally with both hands. In this way she made remarkable progress and, of course, her friends were amazed at the results. IMPRESSIONS OF COMPOSERS BY SCHOOL CHILDREN In a public school less than a 100 miles from New York a teacher had est among the young pupils in the lives of the world's famous musi- cians. In response to a written ex- amination held recently same of the children turned in the following il- Juminating biographies. These are genuine reactions on the part of the children and aside from their humor for the grown ups they serve to im. dicate what impresses the average child mind. "Bach was horn in 1685. He had three wives and 21 children. Then he died. He was a great man." "Handel was born in 1685, When he got blind he couldn't see. Ke never married and the last year's of his life were full of peace. When he was a little feller he used to play in the dark with his nightgown on. Gee, he was a queer guy!" "Haydn was born in 1632, Hie first name was Josepn. Begthoven took lessons off him for 18 cents ried the daughter of a wig-maker. His pictures were taken with them on. He wrote nice music. He died." "Liszt had long hair and 4 wart on his nose. His pictures are awfnl but he was world renowned. He wrote a rhapsody which had bugle calls and galloping horses in it. He had many lovers. One of them was the mother of his daughter, She was a peeress I think. At last he died." Beethoven was born in 1770, He was a fighter. He had long hair and a fierce face. He marked all over his wall and got mad at everyone, His father was dead so there was mo- hody to-punish him, I can play his 'Farewell to the Piano.' He died deaf and sad."
