It goes without saying that a child, as well as an adult, will learn music or anything else quicker and better if an interest is aroused in the stuay or the pursuit. ' Yet it must not be imagined that the- pleasing of the child is the especial] goal at which we aim, If it were, we would never give the child technical exercises, and to many of them no pleces except popular airs. And if we carry the idea to its logical conclusion in other studies, the amount of grammar, ari- thmetic, geography, history and spel- ling that many children woald learn might be put into a vest pocket. No, the proper aim of the music teacher is to educate all his pupils in music, real music, high-toned music, and in time difficult music; to train the ear to 'distinguish the pure from the impure; the true from the false, and the lofty from the degraded; to make the hand of the pianist flexible and dexterous; for the singer to make the voice sweet and pure, with per- fect intonation, and pronunciation. All this calls for much time and at tention to technical and detail work. The teacher that ignores all this, whether designedly or from oversight, therein writes himself or herself down a number one failure. Art 1s exacting. Now the practl- cal teacher must work out the prob- lem of harmonizing these two things which may seem inconsistent; first, the high and stern requirements of art and true culture; second, the secur ing of the child's interest in the study or pursuit. In some cases the problem is easy of solution, in others nearly or quite impossible. will finally attain the desired end. rami rt The Empire Crusade Spectator (London): The discussion It can be made of the British Commonwealth and as Lord Pass- Beaverbrook Crusaders that Canada, are "free and inde- (what they conceive to be) He might have in Australia, to make a Dominion -- Sh Stepe, reps satin, crepe | Government create. tariffs so that 'crepe aA are smart fabrics Tor SHtetn rons, this country may be accorded a pre- Wool challis prints, wool crepe, wool and silk mixtures and dimity are simple and smart fabrics for class ference. eee ween SIMPLICITY What needs an earthly roof between drapery that even the holiest men have thrown around it, and be only y | EEN OERRE, | L LIRR + lntheidelplacetospend he witer--yon may not know the y to get 3 a Service, 73 Wa2st Adelaide St., Toronto, uth » ." = THE STORY THUS FAR: | Vance believes Skeel of the murder of al yi Sugeest u that he lay hidden in a closet while the strangler did his work. h ridicules the: theory abouts.
