Cullison "Official Raybestos Service Station" 909 LINDEN AVENUE Shop Phone, Winnetka 686 Night Phone, Wilmette 765-RK THE LAST OPPORTUNITY for Students of the Wind and Fretted Instruments . . .. to secure the personal teaching of Mr. Meltzer in Winnetka. Although he has added another morning to his Winnetka Schedule, there remain but four half-hours available, and these represent the maximum teaching time which he can devote to his Winnetka studio due to the rapid growth of his classes in Chicago (three studios), Evanston and Wil- mette. The Only Remaining Open Periods are. . . Monday at 3 and 8:30 P. M. Saturday 8:30 and 11 A. M. Wind instrument pupils are taught the secrets of delight- ful tone productions, flexible technic, and artistic interpre- tations learned by Mr. Meltzer through personal study with such masters as Herbert Clarke, for twenty years the cornet soloist with Sousa's Band; Jaroslav Cimera, trombonist Innes and Kryle Bands; Gustav Langenu, formerly first clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic; and Joscha Genewich whom Mr. Sousa considers the best Saxaphone soloist his band has ever had. Students of the fretted instruments not only receive the benefits of his training under Alfred Quartullo, graduate of the Conservatory of Milan, Italy, and David Berend, banjo- ist with Vincent Lopez, but are given a thorough school- ing in business harmony, chord analysis, transposition, and modulation, so that they can improvise their own parts for any piano score. Mr. Meltzer will be at the Community House, Winnetka, every Saturday morning and on Monday afternoons and evenings. Appointments can also be made at any time by phoning Unversity 7615. The MELTZER SCHOOL of MUSIC "Over sixty enthusiastic pupils our best reference" SHOWS HOW SCHOOL IS AIDING BLIND WORKERS Hadley Correspondence Accom- plishing Remarkable Results With Sightless Students By Alfred Allen (Executive secretary, Hadley Corre- spondence School for the Blind) Despite their blindness, the vast ma- jority of the more than 100,000 sight- less people of America have no desire to capitalize their affliction; and, in fact, they are, themselves, trying to find ways and means, legislative - or otherwise, to prevent the comparative- ly few but unfortunately all too ob- vious cases of begging on the streets. The blind beggar is, to the blind, of the type which will beg under any cir- cumstance, and because it is this type which the public is most likely to come in contact with, the blind as a group feel its harmful effect in the doubt and suspicion with which their assurance of competency is met by employers:™ Seek Chance to Work Notwithstanding this, many blind people are engaged in remunerative employment, are happy in the service they are rendering, and in the knowl- edge that 'each as an individual is strengthening the claim of the group that it can adequately fulfill a useful place in the world. It is from among such people that we can learn many lessons. Among its 450 students, the Hadley .§ Correspondence School for the Blind fcan point with pride to many who have come to find themselves through their contact with the school. No doubt those who are the patrons of the school have wondered what good has been done in specific cases, and there follows below a brief summary of a few cases which seem inspiring: A. MeD., living in Canada, is not only blind, but a crippled paralytic. For twenty years he has lain on his back, unable to move. But sunshine radiates from this boy, for he is hanpy in his con- tact with the Hadley Correspondence School. He has learned to write stories, and hopes fo make himself self-support- ing through their sale. Studies Law E. W., a blind boy in Iowa, was unable to read braille when he made his first contaet with the school, immediately af- ter an explosion had taken away his sight. Life and progress seemed to stop. Now he is in his second year at the State *e a : Miss Josephine Chatwin announces the opening of her PIANO STUDIO at 1278 Broadview Ave. Ravinia Beginners a specialty. university, studying for the law profes- sion. His inspiration came through the school. C. C. of New Orleans studied our course in Life Insurance. He has made a re- markable selling record since his con- nection with an insurance company. R. P. of California, now successfully conducting a grocery business, was a few years ago, most despondent. He tried to end things. Now he is writing stores in his spare hours, and studying French to aid him to build up his busi- ness in a foreign-spedking section of his community. He learned a good deal about English through the school, being him- self a Spaniard. W. B. of Florida is half way through college. He writes that his only source of encouragement in spite of many dis- couragements has been through The Hadley Correspondence school. He hopes to become a lawyer. Settlement Worker M. G. of Massachusetts is studying French. She is a home-teacher of in- dustrial crafts, and is studying that she may render better service among the French settlement in her territory. F. Van Y. of Colorado writes that the course which he has taken in business law has helped him tremendously. He 1s conducting a goat-ranch. J. McC. of Pennsylvania, a war-blinded soldier, who has raised prize chickens and who is now in college, gives us much credit for having successfully completed two years of work. A. U. of Texas is studying Spanish, that he may be better fitted for the career he is planning. He is paralyzed ny blind. E. of Texas, a blind lawyer, says he Be 'gained a great deal through having taken our course in Spanish. It has helped him to deal with Mexican clients. Conducts News Agency E. A. K. of Pennsylvania is successfully conducting a magazine agency. He has learned a great deal through our course in salesmanship. N. M. of Ohio has studied our course in salesmanship. She and her husband (also blind) write that the course has helped them immeasurably. N B. of Missouri, who says she is called "The Little Preacher" by her many tends, writes that her course in Bible Studies helped her in conducting her Sun- day-School classes and in other church work.
