Nature's laws have licen violated inthe production-of . artifi cial tone and nature demands her redress. In the production of the natural tone, none but purely Voeal muscles are called into play, and, says a well known writer: "The voeal instru ment is as individual as to its purpose as the eye or ear. Its normal function- cannot be confounded with any other normal function nor blended with any other physical effort for production of tone and live out its predestined limit of usefulness. This important truth is now being widely recognised and the world is too wise and opportunitic for comparison far too numerous to admit of any claims for artifice as against art." The natural tone is the child-voice developed and matured, possessing o free, liquid and youthful quality, which is its greatest charm. Its creed is the creed of relaxation whereby a tone at once pure, luscious, resonant is produced. Its purity and not its joudness provides carrying quality and the most . sensitive ear is never ofiended or shocked by a tone, pierce ing, over-brilliant shrill: Relaxa tion is perhaps of all its requirements the most difficult to attain and is at once the friend and foe of the wtu- dent, who is afforded, during the first two years of her study, ample oppor tunity for the exercise of the great virtue of patience, for this tone i= a read "Will-o'-the-wisp®* during its foundation period.
