THERE'S ART IN DECISION. how can 1 tell you which rgsort Mother and I want to spend few of them to find out just how the women dress ? Please Ever since it was learned that William Mengelberg, the noted Dutch musician, was to be the guest con- ductor of the National Symphony So- ciety of New York next year, a great deal of interest has been aroused re- garding Holland's musical activities. The result is a general agreement *. that this. tiny country, which. may be traveled over from frontier to from- ler in six hours, "the land of butter and cheese," as it has been frequently called, will be one of the greatest music centres of the future. Holland has long been known as the- birthplace of many artists. It occupies but an inconspicious place on the map, yet music has flourished there as brilliantly as in any of the larger countries of Burope.The chor- al productions of the-Netherlands are known throughout Euro. e, and have very few rivals. This is also the coun- try which Bohemian and Hungarian string quartetes call their second [atherland, for here many an artist has achieved the fame and recognit- fon which his own native land has withheld. Instrumental music has always been the chief element of Holland's musical life. Many orchestras exist in the little country, the two lead- ing ones being the Residence Orches- tra under Dr. Peter Van Anrooy, and the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Mengelbesg. It is perhaps strange that opera Nothing extra for "luxury tax." The Home of Good Music. Have a Musical | Evening Often Plan to have a Musical At-Home as often as you possibly can.

This fact remains although @ great many operas have been given, French opera even having been sub- sidized by the city of The Hague which believes - that this form of music is a necessary part of the life ard enjoyment of its people, its dip- lomats and its foreign dignataries. Recently there has also been a suc- cessful attempt to produce Duteh opera. To be sure the available na- tive repetoire is not very extensive yet. but it is believed that once the national consciousness is awakened, the country will produce a musical art as unrivaled and as peculiarly its own as its pictorial art. Trombone Player Out J uggled Chinese. Those who had charge of the Chin- ese coolies in France during the war found them very human. Away from their homes, many of 'them suffered greatly fro» loneliness and homesick ness. Some were even known to com- mit suicide, and no other cause but loneliness or homesickness could have been alleged. To combat this lonliness and keep up their morale taxed the ingenuity of the men in charge. One enterpris- ing young Canadian missionary, who had been placed in charge of a comp- any of Chinese, arranged an exhibit- ion of sports in which Chinese cool les and Canadian soldiers entertain ed each other. Both parties partici- pated heartily and both sides had their bands with them. The Chin- ess found it hard to discover any music in the performance of the Can- adian 'band, while the bluntly declared that there was no music in the products of the Chinese . But the Canadian soldiers Were greatly interested in the Jugg- ling tricks of the Chinese, applauded them heartily and called for encores {| interested in. and "repeats." On the other hand, while the Chinese did not see any music in the performances of the Canadian band, the trombone player greatly interested them. Round him the cdolies clustered. They watched him eagerly, tittered, chattered and made many motions like mimicking him, They called for him to play again and again and || seemed more and more amused. The company round the frombone player became a crowd, and the newcomers wanted to see what the others were 'They saw, and they company of titterers, also joined the last the rers and mimics. At {| trombone player lost patience, be- Sara angry and sald that he would rot play again for them. His anger looked as though a fight. Word Was so great that it he would precipate was sent to the young missionary who hastened to the spot of danger. "What's the matter here," he ask- ed "Your Chinks are g fun of me," said the trombone p , ANg- rily. They want me to play and play for them ;and the more I play the more they laugh at me and mimic me. I'll knock the head off the first one that comes near me." The Chinese had drawn away from the angry man, and the missionary went over to see what their version of the affair was. And time to recover from ihe fit of law Shier that seized jim, 8 quickly a8 he cou recover p= self he hastened to ended bandsman and explained the view- point of the Chinese to Aim. "Those Nv SA O/2e in their juggling tricks, but they think that you are the greatest jug- gler of them all. Every time you shove your trombone in, they think you swallow your instrument; and when you thrust it out, that you pull it up again." : ---------------- Child in Musical A The significant thing about the Player plano is that it does mot limit its work to cultivating the desire to hear music but is equally effective in stimulating the desire to produce it. The child soon wants: to master the technique and create the music himself, It is the inatinet to do-- the impulse, which once awakened, is the teacher's most potent ally. It means that the child will begin his music lessons voluntarily, not simply under' parental compulsion; that he will perserve in them because he has a vision and an aim, that vital motive which no mere sense of duty or plod- ding industry can replace, To surround the child with an at- mosphere favorable to awakening the Canadians | th 'when he heard | | iz instincts we wish to cultivate, then to take those instincts in hand and de- E E = = Bg 2 BE = E om E IR L = 2 = E E 5 E E = : = = ES o E velop them in the way they should |= 80, i¢ the whole theory of the modern organic or "natural" Growth from within is the watch. education. | == ward superimposition from without | == the taboo. tive educators admit the advantage of the new conception.
