THE FLETCHER MUSIC METHOD.
Children Build Songs on a Table
with Wooden Notes

Children Build Songs on "A Table
with Wooden Notes
Friends and invited guests Of Miss
Charlotte Payne listened with interest last
night, at Sanders & Stayman's music
rooms. to a demonstration Of the Fletcher
Music Method. This method Of teaching
music to children by what might be termed
the kindergarten way. is as novel as 1t
seems TO be effective.
The children are first taught the names
Of the various notes. clefs slurs, rests and
other musical signs by means OF wooden
pieces made TO represent them. These the
children build into little songs on a sIopiug
table in front Of them. They learn the let
ters OF the various cIefs by actually build
ing them from c natural with notes on the
lines and spaces.
The next step is cutting out paper notes
and other musical characters and in past
ing them on blank music paper, the notes
and paper, OF course, being much enlarged.
The" the little pupils are taught TO asso-
ciate the sounds Of notes on the piano
with the wooden notes which they use on
the table. For this purpose high and low
notes are given such names as "Chicka-
dee c. Fly F." and Giant c." the
pupils being taught To distinguish be
tween these and then those nearer mid
die G. 10 was matter OF some surprise
TO observe how vel the pupils OF Miss
Payne could name the notes sounded az
random on the piano
Time and measure are taught In the
same mechanical way and the effective
ness OF the method was put TO ;he test
by persons playing pieces on the piano,
which the children had never heard before
they being able 20 tell in every instance
the time Of the music after a few meas
ures had been played.
After The demonstration OF the method
the following programme was rendered by
Miss Payne assisted by Miss Margaret
Sargent Of New York. Love Song" New
in Impromptu Flat. Schubert; Mazurka
Brilliante. List; Waltz. f Minor. noe
turne. d Flat, and scherzo. B Minor.
Chopin.

origin of .eunder the Ro,e.n.

In-Greek mythology the rose was the
symbol of silence, as it was said that
Cupid. the son of Venus, gave the god of
silence a golden rose as bribe to con-
zeal the amours of the goddess of love.
1t was. therefore, sculptured on the
'eilings of banqueting halls and placed
as a sign above the doors of question
able resorts. Guests at feasts. were
crowned with roses to intimate that
their conversations while in their cups
were not to be repeated elsewhere.
The phrase obtained currency in
Greece after Pausanias, the admiral of
the Greek feet. plotted with Xerxes to
betray the cause of the Greeks by sur
rendering the ships. the negotiations
being conducted in small banqueting
hall, the roof of which was, as usual,
covered with sculptured roses. The
plot, however, was discovered and or
1ers given for the arrest of the traitor.
Pausanias endeavored to make his ref
nge in a temple which possessed the
light of asylum. Unwilling to violate
the sanctity of the place by forcibly
removing him and still more unwilling
10 allow him to escape, his fellow citi-
zens walled up every entrance and,
by one account, left him to die of star
vatiOn; by another. killed him by un-
roofing the building and throwing
down the tiles on his head.

A story of whistler.

The Boston Transcript says: "a di-
verting anecdote is told of the boyhood
of Mr.. Whistler, the greatest modern
impressionist- He was apprenticed to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. One day his
employer asked him if he also could
etch maps on copper. oh. yes. | can
etch, promptly answered young Whis-
tier.
"As matter of fact he had never
used an etching needle in his life.
However, they gave him the copper,
and he set to work. making a very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges of the plate, which when bitten
In with acid are always stopped out he
etched some characteristic little sketch
es of the different members of the
firm, including very humorous one of
the chief himself.
Shortly after he happened to go
away for a week or two for his holi-
day. Meantime the plate had been
bitten in and printed with all of the
dreadful little caricatures that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
Ting prominence, the sketch of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause of its great resemblance to that
gentleman, who was so enraged at the
lndignity of the thing that immediately
ON Whistler's return he dismissed
him."
