PIANO PRACTICE.
For Success Intelligence, Application ant
Enthusiasm Are Essential.

For Success Intelligence, Application ant
Enthusiasm Are Essential.
Three requisites are necessary for prof
liable piano practice-viZ, intelligence,
application and enthusiasm. Either one
of these three essentials will do much
for the student, but it is only when the
three are combined that one is able to
overcome all obstacles and secure salts
factory results. So far as pupils of i'm
mature age are concerned, it must be ac-
knowledged that nearly all practice is
perfunctory. To most children piano
study is irksome, and being unable to
comprehend the necessity for intelligent
application the advantage gained is
usually more muscular than musical
But even this is beneficial to a certain
extent, since by use the fingers are
strengthened and the hands developed in
fexibility and in their key singing abili-
ties.
Progress may be retarded by faulty,
incorrect and misdirected practice, prac-
tice that is wrong in principle and de-
plOrable in results. Too often the prac-
tice hour is wasted by careless, hap
hazard review of the lesson, running
through the etudes and pieces hurriedly
without regard to correct reading or fin
gering while touch, phrasing and ex-
preston are ignored as though unworthy
of the least consideration. Wasted prac-
tice hours are the "thorn in the side''
Of many an earnest teacher. 1t is just
here that the parent may be of service
by exercising a supervision of the child
during practice hours. But in case of
pupils of more advanced years there
should be no need of supervision, no
wasted hours, no lack of enthusiasm.
Music, to be proftably studied, must
be regarded as an art that appeals to the
intellect as well as to the emotions.
A musical composition is supposed to
contain germ or idea elaborated and
embellished. 1t is therefore necessary
that the performer should not only un-
derstand the concept of the piece, but be
able to render it in an Ineligible man
ner. Nothing short Of careful, painstak-
ing, thought filled practice will enable
one to accomplish this. The mind must
be concentrated upon the details of the
work in hand. Once allow the thoughts
to wander, and errors will creep in. Ac-
cents will be disregarded or so misplaced
as to change the phrasing and destroy
the symmetry of the composition, says
The Etude, authority for the foregoing.

Health Board Inoculates 5000
People in Raid.

AS result Of a wholesale vaccinating
raid by the Health Board in Williams
burg last night about 5000 people are
nursing sore arms to-day. The raid was
made in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth
Wards. and despite the great number
inoculated but little opposition was en-
countered.
A force OF twenty physicians entered
the Globe Music Hall. on Slegel street,
near Broadway, where a variety per-
Torrance was going on.
The stage talent comprised a half
dozen performers. mostly women. About
$50 people were in the audience.
The performance was stopped and the
vaccinators began work on the people
present. who were all men. Coats were
stripped off. arms barred and as rapidly
as possible those who had not been vac
cinated OF late years were given a dose
of the lymph.
There was some opposition on the
part of few men, but the majority
took 1t in good part.
The performers on the stage were also
inoculated, and those who wore decol-
lettte costumes appeared later with ban
dages around their arms.

Hall presented a curious sight. At
nearly every table men sat with one
arm barred. waiting for the tiny wound

Of Chief Clerk Andrew O'Shea, OF the
Bureau Of Contagious Diseases
The locality covered by the physicians
included johnson avenue. Moore street,
Even street and Humboldt street. The
vaccinators, who were accompanied by
$50 policemen. met with no opposition
except In one house where an excited
German woman threatened to brain Mr..
O'Shea with frying pan.
She was held down to the floor by a
couple of policemen while the vaccine
was applied. When the operation was
concluded she seemed chagrined because
she had made SO much trouble.
