The oftener it prode the latter ei- { fect: the better ( a Butt, who { knows C well as Britain, is quoted as saying: "The ordinary Eng- hish view of music is that it is merely something to pass an 'idle hour, like cards or any other me Not ex- {aclty blameworthy, perhaps, but quite [oor of the serious attention of ne serious people Our girls are taught to look upon music as an accomplish- | ment; of its lofty purpose and its di- vine mission they are taught nothing It is merely an idle diversion. With our hoys it is even ~worse. At the public schools, a boy with leanings to music is looked upon as a milksop and gradually drops his study of the art for ic than a solution to the problem of how to kill time, which is only another way of saying to pass an idle hour, if musical lean- ings are smothered or hidden away, then "there is something rotten in the state- of Denmark.'

An announcement of teo great sig- nificance to be passed over without comment appears in the New York papers to the effect that there is being given a series of six Saturday after- noon Symphony concerts for young people by the New York Symphony Orchestra under the conductorship of Walter Damrosch Also the same organization is giving a series of four programmes for children on Saturday mormngs, The New York parents and children are fortunate indeed that such an ar rangement is possible, for these pro- grammes will undoubtedly do much to influence the boys and girls and young people to become lovers of good music. The youthful mind will be educated musically by hearing a good orhcestra just as it is educated in geography by seeing maps. The hearing of music should then be sup- plemented by having the child pro- duce music for himself just as the see- ing of a map is made the most of by actually drawing it.- At school we used to draw the map of Europe putting in the countries, ports, rivers, chief cities, mountain ranges, and all boundaries. The do- ing of this after a close study of the map was a splendid training. In the same way a mother can take her son would have been up-to-date a genera- | 1s above re in ferred to, point out certain details about the rendering of music as exemplified in the orchestra's play- ing and then ask the pupil to strive for STi 4 results in her practising. Another great advantage to be de- rived from such series of recitals, though perhaps more indirect, is sur- rounding the children with this musi- cal environment, the good and iar- reaching influence of which requires no dwelling upo A Favorite of Lloyd George. As is well known Britains Welsh Prime Minister is a lover of music and a staunch advocate of music even in war times. Some of the splendid Welsh hymns are difficult to trans- late, but Lloyd George himself has given the Strand Magazine his Eng- lish version of a favorite hymn. This is of course-a literal translation line by Hines . "If e'er 1 cross the wilderness, I shall forever marvel at Thy grace My soul brought to tranquility After a hundred times losing the day: And the fetters all shattered, And my feet completely free, If ever I am seen thus Eternal will be the praise. i der I am seen, a sinner One day at the end-of my march Wonderful will be the singing And new will be the song Sounding 'Victory! For a full salvation Without fear of losing the battle, Neither in the morn nor yet at eve." Back to Gregory. Healey Willan, organist of St.Paul's Church, Toronto, is giving a series of addresses to organists and clergymen on the principles and practice of Plain Song, that remarkable system of reli- gious music devised or revised by Gregory the Great Of late years a better understanding of the devotional stateliness has grown up, and while there is no likelihood of any Low Church leaning towards a fuller ritu- alism, the meaning and origin of Plain Seng has special interest to all per- A AAA Nervous Breakdown Averted.

The subject abounds in technicali- ties, but there are a few general prin. ciples which guided the development, and these are understandable of all men, of the Christian Era was probably derived in the main from the Jewish Temple ritnal, with accretions of heathen festival hymns "adjuster or adapted" for sacred pur- poses. It became the custom for the singers to seize on the words Hallelu- jah or Amen whenever they occurred and improvise "fancy music" on them, greatly to the distress of the devout. Gregory devised a system of free reci- tative to be employed in the. singing of the service and pinned down the "Hallelujah's" to a more seemly length. In time the portions of the mass specially suited for singing, such as the Te Deum or the Sanctus got entangled with the mathematics of counterpoint and singers and compos- ers used secular tunes until another scandal arose. Then came Pales- trina, who, with a basis of the semi- Greek "modes" or scales adopted by Gregory, wrote a Mass setting that was the beginning of modern ritual music as we know it . Even in late years a new tendency towards florid and "expressional" music was rebuked by the Vatican and musicians were sent hack to Gregory to learn their principles.

Take, for example, the caseNof a young Toronto man who had almost an insane passion for the ditties of the vaudeville stage He compelled his friends to the piano at all times to play these melodies. To such an extent did he make use of the piano-playing ability of his fiancee that she was driven to a state of bore- dom with the music that pleased him. None she less she married him, being a young woman of infinite kindness and forbearancé. The young couple had a phonograph, and for a time the husband brought home rag-time and popular records to no end. On one occasion his wife did the choosing. She picked up an operatic number sung by a distinguished soloist. _ She found a violin record of the Bach- Gounod Ave Maria and a piano rec- ord of the Eleventh Lisza Rhapsody These she brought home and played several times in the hearing of her husband. At first he paid but little attention. On the third repetition he began to get interested. To short- en a long story, it is necessary only to say that to-day the best and finest records are none too good for this young husband, and all the popular stuff 1s stowed away. In like manner, a "song service" en- thusiast belonging to a city church became a member of the choir, the or- ganist being a man of taste and dis- cretion. He, was accustomed to set forth in brief comment the musical merits of the anthems studied by the members . Thus the Gospel hymn "fan" got a new vision of the meaning and the power of music, and had his whole outlook readjusted.

Pathe records. are supreme musically and scientifically because of the method of recording in a long, broad sound wave, and the reproduction by means of a round, polished, genuine _sapphire ball, which completely fills the groove and gathers the music from every point of contact. This combination produces a tone full, rich, natural and with forty per cent. more tone colors than any other record. The sapphire ball nevér requires to be changed, and never wears out the record. The Pathe repertoire of records is superior because not only does it include records by the most popular artists in America, but also con- tains selections by the best-loved European artists who have not yet left, and may never leave, the old world. Such artists as Ruffo, Muratore, Didur, Albani, Cavalieri, Fitzui, Cis- neros, Slezak, Weil, Ober, Urlus, Parvis, Banin- segna, Koralek, Georgini, . Constantino, and many others record for Pathe.
