hand We had before that and a great
yxriety Of leaders, not one Of whom
LEFT any lasting rsputStiOn- When the
Professor took hold Of il much hSd to
be unlsSrnsd by its members. There
was no discipline, nothing systematic,
no graded instruments. With his
thorough GsrmSn military training
and his force Of character, Berger
brought su ingrainei love Of music
which has gradually imbued every
SOul with whom he hSs come IN con-
tSct. Taking entire charge Of the band,
who learned 10 respect and obey him,
he has built up 3 company OF musl-
clans SseOud u nOue in the world Al
though $ tartar in discipline, the boys
found thSt the early tramps he put
them through were for their wind and
their physical benefit. He loved his
native band Sud felt they were like
eIzy in his hSuds and could De mould

He has eugrafted love Of music 50 /
strongly on the native race and the
island community generally, that Ii
hiss become one OF the attractive feS-
tures Of island life. Many times has I

beloved band.
From Berger's arrival and the re-
sultznt Incubation OF love Of music, /
musical instruments on the islands 4
have multiplied until il 5 rare 10 pass 1
any house in the evening where some 4
jingling pi4nO Is not heard Bands /
have increased in number, there being 4

in every hamlet OF note on the other 1
Islands IL i Sn easy matter to find 4
