There is a church in a modern On- tario town that pays its fainister $1 500 a ar and its organist and choir year, Despite the fact it has reasonably - good music. The organ- ist is a young girl of some talent and isters Hke her. When the ppreciation in a congrega- tion is measured by two dollars a week there is something decadent in the State of Canada. Churches and church people are too enthusiastic about securing something for noth- ing. The young woman above men- tioned has spent much money and some of the best vears of her life to become a competent musician. She has capabilities which, with proper encouragement, would make her an art leader in her community. Yet the people she serves do not realize that she is helping to civilize their children. We in Canada do not yet under- stand that religion and music are co- workers both designed to elevate the standard of living. They know it in England. Take, for example, the Qa thedral schools. Boys from eight to twelve years of age are admitted as pupils. Not only do they receive a thorough groumding in thé ordinary educational branches of learning, but they are given a musical education. They get a singing lesson and, per- haps, a piano lesson every day. They rehearse for choir work every day. And they get a monthly salary for what they do. The City Churches in Canada provide annual appropria- tions from their music, but large sal- aries are exceptional. $100 .a the « sum of Music a Language How can music be expressive of mental moods? The question is ask- ed often enough, particularly by per- sons whose knowledge of the art isd rudimentary, though sometimes by persons who have had some training. It cannot be dened that some tunes have a joyous sound, and others a sad or pensive effect. Why is that the case? There are many reasons. The chief one and perhaps the one most easily understood is that every note of the scale, even when taken alone, has its own effect upon the ordinary human mind. Bugles play only the notes of the common chord, for example, in the Natural Key, they play C. E. G. and C.;.the four gibs of the diatenic-scale.-1t with be fond That is the one proof --the final test of the qualities of any musical instrument. And measured by that test, the Columbia Grafonola superbly title of "The One ment of Music." es its right to the aE Instru. "Hearing is believing.""

One cal, "Taps" is al- ways considered as mournful and even sad, Yet the average person does not know the cause far its effect upon his mind. If the "Tape" Call is examined, we shall find that it dwells insistently upon the third of the scale. No one can explain they psychological cause for the impres- sion that the third tone makes. It is one of the mysteries--like the souring of milk in a thunderstorm. Perhaps there is mo more lugubrious Gospel Song than 'Where is My Wandering Boy: Ta-night." It has come to be considered as the last word in religious "sob-stuff," and many people have been afflicted with the shudders by its performance: k at the first line, as expressed by¥™Mhe convenient Tonic-sol-fa sym- "bold : Mi. Mi. Mi Fa--Mi. Mi.--Ra Do. Out of eight notes, five are the Third of the Scale. To a truly musical ear, not only does each note of the scale convey its own impression, but all the varied almost infinite chords and discords are specifically expressional in their sound, Add to this the variations of time and rhythm "as expressional agents, and it should appear immed- iately to the non-musical intelligence that Music is a language a universal means of stimulating the mind to thought. A Blunt Man's Protest. "Now I'm just a plain blunt man' said a gentleman to the writer on the Street car the other day, "and maybe I wouldn't be considered' a fit sub- LJect to express my views on musical subjects. But just the same, 1 en- joy good musie, have lots of it in my home, and there's one thing 1 am a crank on, that is clear enunct ation. "My wife toted me off to a recital one evening. ' It was given by the pupils of X--, the vocal teacher. The technique, rhythm, and accent- vation and all the mest of it were I suppose hunky-dory, but ont of the ten singers there was only one whose enunciation was worth the snap of your finger. Perhaps I expect too much but if I cannot follow the words reasonably well, a-song only analyses about fifty per cent. pure to me. "Perhaps you had a poorly located seat, or again your hearing may not be as acute as it once was" suggested the writer. "Oh," he replied, "you cannot fas- ten the blame on me that way, I had As good a seat as there was in the hall and my hearing is as good as anybody's. If you don't believe me Just whisper something you don't want me to hear and see, No siree, it was no fault of my ear drums, it was the singer's fault. Say, if you are not willing to take my word for it, what does Clara Butt say? She said: 'Singers should study the art of clear enunciation. English is not a diffioult language it is our own. And singers who take pains in their pro- nounciation of the words of a song in a foreign language, are too often apt to slur English words, so that ada friend of mine once put it, his chiel entertainment at a concert was trying to guess what language the sifiger was singing.' Now, how could you answer an argument like that? Our Musical Puture.

That they receive certain tuition has been well known, but whether this is the best tuition possible remains to be seen. The people who go into this matter thoroughly are at.a loss to understand why these children are not heard in public more frequently, why they are not used to aid in the musical education of the general pub- le, and why they are not made to realize that thy are the material from which the different musical go- cieties and choirs of the future are to be built up.
