One may not jump at a conclusion hast- | fly. | obtained in one city from those ob- ' talned in another. The response {from one gathering of pupils may be much better than from some / other section. But from observation | of music as taught in the schools of Kingston it would be a very difficult thing to arrive at any other conclu- sion than favorable. A member of the staff of this | paper had the pleasure of accom- panying Harry Hill, musical instruc- tor of the Kingston public schools, during one of his regular afternoons of instruction. It happened that Central school was down on the-time 'table for that day. In Mr. Hill's esti- | mation, though he is pleased with | the progress made in that school just { as mu as in any other, Central is rated Mout average and probably | not quite so high as others where | the classes of pupils are not so var- | fed. Yet the response of the chil- | drén there amazed the layman who | observed the regular lessons In pro- | gress. { Little tots, scarcely more than five | years old, striking given notes and tones from symbols and gestures | made by the instructor, and going | through a whole song in perfect uni- | son after being given the key note | but once--that was but one of the | surprising things of the afternoon's | observations. This was in the jun- for first, commonly known as the | "baby glass' or the "kindergarten," | though the latter term, by reason of its Teutonic derivation, has lost in favor in the past few years. Know- ing the processes by which the result | was brought about, "a student of | music would no doubt have been | pleased, but he could scarcely be so jSuipeiaes as one with only a rudi- | mentary knowledge, who had never expected such a group of children to | handle familiar letters of the alpha- | bet as well as they did musical notes. As the classes advanced, and older children were taking instruction, the astonishing features of the little im- promptu tour of inspection became more and more pronpunced. It Is one thing--no small thing at that-- for a class of thirty or forty pupils to recognize a musical note as it is written In the clef on the blackboard or signified by signe from the hands of their instructor. It is quite an- other and more amazing thing to find the whole class striking that note with their voices In perfect ac- cord. In the junior third, books of instruction first came into use, and shading of the voices commenced, one side of the class taking an alto tone while the other sang a treble. It was not parrot work, as some might immediately say, for a minute later the sides would change parts and where alto was before one found treble and treble voices where but alto before sounded. In 'the junior fourth, the highest grade in Central school, there is a particularly large class. Here the room was divided into three different sections. It is difficult for a layman to 'describe the technical term- for what was done, but suffice to say that the three sections adhered to separ- ate notes and shading in the same key and produced a harmonious volume of song that was a treat to hear--and the writer doubts If there is a church choir in Kingston that can go through that entire perform- ance without error and without any previous coaching. One significant fact about the whole tour--a very, very Important one--was the attitude of the puplls toward their, music lesson. In the STOMACH TROUBLES E DUE TO ACIDITY Tells satd, Certain, Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion. ------ Bo-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, sourness, stomach. and inability to retain food are of ten, simply evidence that excessive secre- lon of acid is taking place in the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes Known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the dell- cate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely m the excesy development may be taken in & quarter of a glass of hot or -cold water after eating or when- sourness or acidity is felt. the stomach neu- rmless and inex- use. such as Bisurated Mag- nesia which can be obtained from any either powder or tablet he stomach fo he! suffering from exposure to the gold There may be different results | . very young pupils one expects to find enthusiasm. But when one goes to the higher classes, to older and more | sophisticated pupils. and finds that | they are eager to begin their work on a certain part of the curriculum, and show the same Interest with every session, then there is some- thing unusual. True, it breaks the | monotony of the day, but a great deal of the eagerness was evidently | a love of the music for its own sake. | By such a course of training the | ideals of the children are elevated. That js something which must hap- | pen. Music has one of the greatest | refining influences that could be | found and to those who learn ft, be it | ever so little, it is a life-long joy | {and asset. Many fine voices also, | whieh might otherwise be lost| through lack of notice, natural re-! serve about singing, or improper de- | velopment, are taken there at the | beginning and given the proper! chance. These results were found in only one school. In other Institutions) they are the same, the instructor in- | formed the self-appointed inspector. | | In Victoria schoo! there is a boys' | | choir which will shortly compete at | | the musical festival in Toronto and | for which Mr. Hill has high hopes. | Just whether the teaching of] music in the schools of Kingston is governed by the music itself and the love of it which the children have, or by the excellent instruction of | Harry Hill--or by all those things put together--the writer is not pre- pared to say. It is, however, an amazing success and one of the most | beneficial courses on the curriculum. Few, it any, persons could reach an- other conclusion after observation of | the results obtained. f RADIO BROADCASTING | The following is a list of the sta- tions and their broadcasting .pro- grammes which may be heard local- ly on Friday: 826---KDKA---East Pittsburgh, Pa. 6.16 p.m.--Organ recital. 8 p.m.--Radio Boy Scout meeting. 360--KQV--Pittsburgh, Pa. 9 p.m.--Instrumental and vocal numbers. 476--WBAI'--Fort Worth, Texas: 7.30 p.m.--Concert, 9.30 p.m.--Concert, 448--WJIAZ--Chicago, Ill. 10 p.m.--Special programme. 492--KGW---Portland, Ore. 8 p.m.--Accordion solos. 8.15 p.m.--Dance programme. 9 pm.--Educational lecture, 484--WOC--Davenport, Ia. 6.30 p.m.--Sandman's visit. 8 p.m.~--Musical programme, 425---COKAO--Montreal, Que, 4.30 p.m.--Orchestra dance music: 476--WFAA---Dallas, Texas. 8.30 p.m.--Varied programme, 380-----WGY---S8chenectady, N.Y. 6.30 p.m.--Children"s programme. 10.30 p.m. -- Orchestra pro- Lgramme, ---- 448--WMAQ--Chicago, Ill. 7.30 p.m.--Music memory contest. 8.40--Orchestra music, 420---WSB--Atlanta, Ga. 3} Yir---Quarteris music. .. vo oo 887----WBZ--Springficld, Mass. 7.30 p.m --Bedtime story. 11 p.m.--Orchestra music. 536--KYW---Ch 6.50 p.m.--~--Children's story, 10 p.m.--Midnight revue. , TH, bedtime 492--WEEF---New York Oity ..7.30 p.m.--Musical programme. 895---KHJ--Los Angeles, Cal. 8 p.m.--Orchestra music. 10 p.m.--Orchestra music. 860--WGI--Medford Hillside, Mass. 7.30 p.m.--Special programme.
