Mrs. James Lawrence Blair, Social Leader, ~
Teaches Public School Pupils to Sing. ~ ~ ~

outside the suburb of Kirkwood have known
anything of its scope and success.
Last spring the principal of the Kirkwood
High School, Mr.. McNair. felt the need Of
music in the institutions curriculum. Now,
the school is not under st. Louis manage
ment, being quite Independent. and yet far
from Independent when 1t comes to a full
treasury. Special instructors in music are
wood High School could not afford to pay
for this additional branc Of instruction,
and it deplored the fact.
Mrs. Blair heard of the difficulty. Kirk
wood is very dear to her heart, in all its
departments-municipal, social and educa-
tional. 1t might be added that Kirkwood
fully reciprocates Mrs. Blair's feeling.
This lady Of music and magnanimity
came to the rescue. She did not offer to
pay the expenses Of a special music teacher
who would take the position and train the
young High School ideas how to be tune
full. She evinced her interest and philan-
thropy in q far better fashion. She an
nounced to the principal that II 1t COM
formed to school regulations and approved
plans, she would be glad to give the Kirk
wood High School personal instruction in
music for two mornings each week. And
she added that she proposed going to New
York the following summer to get some
special and explicit ideas on the Damrosch
system OF school music. II the KirkEood

High School would permit an introduction
Of the same in September.
The Kirkwood High School did so per-
NIT. 1t announced to Mrs. Blair in most
emphatic and grateful terms that it con-
sidered itself honored to nav the benefit of
her extensive music knowledge and bound
less enthusiasm. which children of a larger
growth have long found inspiring.
Mrs. Blair went East and spent her sum-
mer, not at fashionable coast resorts, but
In New York City. studying hard with
Walter Damrosch, in order to be able to
expound his method of public school music
teaching to her OWE satisfaction and to the
enlightenment Of the Kirkwood boys and
girls when she returned and school opened.
She came back full of information on the
new branch. n accompanied by a COM
plete set of. Damrosch charts and books
and paraphernalia which forthwith became
the property Of the High School.
The new course in music opened with
unbounded zeal. 1t has continued all winter
without abatement of such energy. The
15O pupils Of the Kirkwood High School can
now read music with the same ease that
they read their histories.
Two stipulations only did this generous
woman make. She asked that the young
lady who served as accompanist, and on
whom falls much hard work, should receive
enumeration for her services; and also that
the principal should appoint some person

follow the lessons of the present winter,
being present at all sessions. and thus be
enabled to take up the work when Mrs.
Blair leaves it. Mr.. McNair was only too
glad to accede to these requests.
The pupils have finished the Damrosch
charts and are now INDUCING in their first
simple songs, all reading music entirely by
note.
And none of them had ever sung q note
Of printed music before in his life!
Mrs. Blair's vast fund of knowledge on
the history of music Is one Of the biggest
benefits resultant from the effort. Indeed,
there is probably no other institution Of
learning in the country that has SO we'll
equipped a teacher in all phases Of music
as the Kirkwood High School. The boys
and girls realize that fact. They are in
spired to work under her magnetic and
winning personality as they never worked
before.
Mrs. Blair says 1t il, the most satisfactory
effort she ever made.
Mr.. McNair says his children have
learned to love music and to love Mrs.
