He was one day met at the i Paris Conservatoire, of which he was the head, by a father who came bringing his talented son to gain ad- | mission to the Institution. {ini exclaimed when the man had told Vhis errand, 'What do you want? 1 do not take infants to nurse!" The father was about to give up his attempt, but was told to take the boy to a certain room and have him play whatever he could think of, and not to stop when Cherubini ¢ame into .the room Soon the Director came in. Hearing the boy play, he was astonished at the talent and youth of the performer, and pro- ceeded to question him on the prin- ciples of music. The result was that he at once admitted the boy to the Conservatoire. Cherubini afterward, in telling others about the affair, said, "I had to be very careful about pushing the question too far; for the baby was beginning to prove to me "that he knew more about music than I do myself." 5 When Berlioz was a student In the Conservatoire, he was generally at sword's points with the crusty director. Once, on examination day, Cherubini was running over a piece which Berlioz had submitted, when he came upon a complete rest of two measures, "What is that?" he asked, in usual ill-natured tome, I "Mr, Director," said the pupil, | "F wish to produce an effect which | T thought could best be produced by | silence." | "Ah, you thought it would produg La ¥you supressed two mpasures "Yes, sir."

As Seen by Prominent Educationalist The place of music in the school must finally, be determined by the standard of citizenship that a state has set up for itself. Upon the school lies the double responsibility of train- ing the young men and young women that come within the doors to this TorON apoAtiis wha wT" ith" and rh' a # "Will teach "and preach if to" the' {ture generation upon whoni the 'state depends for its preservation and progress. The state may demand that the citizen be, first, intetligent, that is, mentally efficient; "second, that he be cultured; that is, efotionally re- fined; third, that he Be" physically' fit to perform His diities; ¥nd fourth, that he be socially fit to mihgle with his fellow men, e . Let us examine the elements of these four requirements of ideal citizenship and see how music would. contribute to its realization. The main difference between the education of the middle ages and that of the twentieth century is that the former was based on autherity: the child learned by being told, while the latter follows the path of activity; the child learns by doing. Consequently, the man of the middle ages. acted by authority, worshipped by authority, worked by authority, and learned by authority. The man of to-day worships as. he «chooses, déarns as he ¢hooses and 'works as he chooses. - But this progress' towidrds freedom hds brought with it added responsibilities.

'| part of the aesthetic inheritance of = is {ree to act Re must also gonsider the freedom of bis neighbor and must That means, he must be broad-minded. TFurther- more, that means, he must have a well-trained mind, * It is then evidently the duty of the school to embody its program of studies such subj as lead the pupil to the acquisition of these two essential possessions of the intelli- gent man. ¥ Does a proper knowledge of music lead to the broadmindedness? Human development: social, religious, scien- tific and aesthetic. ~ The system of education that fails to develop the child along these four limes of pro- gress, is but partly 'efficient and fulfills but in part the duty to the state, namely, to develop intelligent citfens. Music, then, since it forms the race, must form part of the edu- cation of the broad-minded citizen. Our second equipment for the in- telligent citizen is that he must pos- sess a mind capable of logical and rapid thought. Therefore, in our educational scheme we make pro- vision for mental training ahd assign that function to th sciences especi- ally. For this reason alone music should occupy a prominent place in the education of the ideal citizen; for music is a combined science of physics and mathematics. A simple and elementary prgblem in scale building, harmony,'of musical an- alysis, presents difficulties the solu- tion of which demand as much energy as any problem in 'any branch of mathematics. Music, when taught as a science, can stand on an® equal footing as a mental discipline with any other subject now found in the school curriculum. What are the requirements of the cultured citizen? Culture is a study of perfection. And how can we study perfection best? Through perfect medium, namely art." 'Music, repre- tering sensation, progress has been along four lines,of | sents the only true €léments of per- fection, external and internal, a per- fect idea or emotion expressed, em- bodied in perfect form. The artist experiences an emotion dénd a desire is aroused in him to unicate it to his fellow men. © If the idea is perfect it must be embodied in per- fect formn lest it lose its perfection, The works of art, then, that bave come down to us through the ages represent perfection in all its essence, Wa can, then, perféct our own na- tures and be imbued with a desire to strive after perfection by coming in close contact with works of an , The state a right to de- mm id, of its ideal that he ve after per n. the means for the acquisition of this trait. The cultured citiven must be imbued with the spirit of music. ' The state may demand' tht the witizen he a.social being, that he lve in! harmony 'with his neighbor' "The One. of the fundamental principles of, musig is harmony, and harmony is the agreement of a number af tones when sounded simultaneously. Substitute 'for the word "tones" the words "human beings' in the above sentence and you have a correct definition of sociability. Music is thus, primarily, a social art. There can be no music where there is no 'harmony and theve can be no dis- cord, "disagreement, where there is no music. An audience gathers to listen to a concert. An Englishman, a Norwegian, a Frenchman, a Rus- sian'and even a Chinaman are sitting side by side. = Their opinion§ on al- most any topic affecting buman wel- fare differ. Yet, while the artist an stage is.speaking to the men his tonal language, they forget their petty jealousies, their commercial or ted in a common -bond' of under- standing, peace and humanity. The state may demdnd that the citizen be 4 healthy animul, that his bodily vitality be such as fits him best for his daily duties mnd pleas- ures. Jat .is the relation of music to physical welfare? The Greeks il re¢ogunized almost three r thousand years ago that music was conductive to bodily health. Since then this be lief has been established on a firm scientific basis so that to-day music and physical culture work hand in hand for the development of bodily strength and vigor. The practice is So very common that I need but mention it here. In many factories over the country progressive em- ployers have installed - musical in- struments in their establishments and they maintain that under the in- fluence of music their employees that it has a marked effect on thei general health.

Often there is only a flut- or an '"all-gone" sinking . feeling, or, again you may experience a smothering sensation, gasp for breath and feel ag though about to die. In such cases the action of Mil- burn's Heart and Nerve Pills in quieting the heart, restoring its nor- mal beat and imparting tone to the nerve centres, is, beyond question, marvellous. Mrs. Frank Arseneau, Newcastle, N.B., writes: "I had awful attacks of heart trouble for the past five or six years, and as I had tried many kinds {fi _-- of medicine without getting any bet- ter, I decided to give Milburn's Heart | |i and Nerve Pills a trial, and to my surprise I found ease from the sec- ond dose. 1 continued taking them until I had used six boxes, and now I feel as well as can be. : "At present my sister is taking ! them for nervousness, and finds great comfort by their use."

Limited, Toronto, Washing Won't Rid Head of Dandruff | The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and tréve of it, no matter how much dandruff you may mave. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times _bet- ter. ¥ S You can 'get liquid arvon at any drug store.
