THE DEcAYED MUSIC TEACHER
She Has the Bread Taken out of Her
Mouth

The ordinary parent or guardian of a
girl with turn for music" will very
probably make his choice of a teacher
from those to whom he listens with the
greatest pleasure. forgetting that execu-
tive skill and the gift of imparting
knowledge are more often found sepa-
rate than together, says the National
Review. The partially successful artist
then, is wont to fall back upon such
teaching as he can get If he wants TO
make livelihood out Of his profession.
and so enormous is the number Of those
who wish to take music lessons. If not
~ Ego in for" music thoroughly that
the moderately efficient teachers have
hitherto had small reason to despair of
getting profitable pupils. These worthy
people, however, viii before long be
singing very different song; in fact.
something like repetition of the dirge
performed by the respectable gentle
women" of the last generation. who.
after taking to teaching music for a
living on the strength Of dozen les
sons taken when they were young and
comfortably off found their circle of pu-
pills diminishing as the taste for music
widened and deepened. For such as
these the increase In the number and
the rise in the efficiency Of the regular
schools Of music has been their doom.
for not merely in London. where the de-
cayed lady teacher never dourished,
but in every country town the standard
OF taste has left them far behind, sud
nearly all such centers of their employ
rient are now worked either by actu-
al representatives of the great educa-
Cional institutions OF London. or their
places are filled by younger artists, ed
acated at such places as the Royal
Academy of Music or the Royal Co..
lege of Music, the principle of who's
joint organization in the matter of To-
cal examinations and the like has been
doing most imports Mt work = 'et
England during the short tiIlt
existence. That inefficient teachers o.
art should have the bread taken out OF
their mouths is not legitimate subject
for regret. though hard cases could no
doubt be cited, just as they can against
such work as that done by the organ
szation of charity.

silver Republicans May Domlnate.

Cleveland. Ohio, May 6.-The latest
advices received by the committee in
charge of the arrangements Tor the Ma
tional Republican league convention in
dictate that there will be about 500 dele
gates in attendance. The appointment
of delegates is by congressional dis
tricts, and the total number entitled TO
seats in the convention, including the
delegates at large. is about 1900 Every
thing points to big delegations from all
of the western free silver states. and it
is probable that silver men will be in
the majority in the convention.
