question nowadays as to whether It IS
worth while Tor a child to study music

direction. 1t is not now unusual TO lind
young women in society totally ignorant
of the piano: but. to my mind, general
culture demands that every civilized per
son should be acquainted with all the
manifesto tions of culture. The only way
to comprehend art is to have some
knowledge OF art. AS the piano is the
best instrument to show all species OF
music, every child should study it
