Suggestion to Place the Gentler Sex on a
Musical Footing With Men.
Mrs. Theodore Thomas has lately wrlt-
ten for the Columbian Congress of Mu-
sicians a pertinent suggestion. which.
amongst others valuable and interesting,
stands out as the one most practical and
most likely to be put into use; il Is that
boys in schools should be formed into
orchestral instead OF simply solo per-
formers upon some instrument. She
says, and truly, that the sense of COM
panionship-one Of the strongest III u
growing lad-and the feeling that he
must do his part or the whole cannot go
on, appeal ito his latent ambition
as few things do. and the practice be-
comes a part OF the fun instead OF the
drudgery of life. Not that she would do
away with SOLO playing. but rather add
to It's Significance aud responsibility, the
piano-forte, the violin, cello, clarinet,
and flute players ali acquiring a greater
Importance il entered as members of a
body of musicians. dedicating themselves
to the Interpretation OF COMPOSITIONS
which could not be performed without
the aid of each. Mrs. Tnomas'5 sugges-
ton is full of good sense, and In those
| parts of the country from which her
listeners at the session of amateur clubs
came results will doubtless follow 1t. But
why confne it TO boys? May not girls look
| forward in the very near future to taking
a place in the orchestraS that grow every
| year more numerous throughout the
States? Why should not q woman violin

Eof Mrs. Thomas's present suggestion may

iieve, is TO grow this very winter, in at

idea adds TO the responsibility already
