Professor Frederic II Pease, for TWEEN.
ty.nine years the efiicisnt director Of
the Normal Conservatory Of Music at
ipsilanti, Michigan, writes the follow
ing in response to an inquiry regarding
the effect Of free recitals on the attend
ance at paid concerts:
"As to free recitals think there is
no doubt they assist materially in edu-
eating the people in understanding good
music. That is, if the programs are
really Of the best, and kept up to pure
standards. OF course the selections
given need not necessarily be difficult
and complex and above the people who
attend, but they should be true music
and by recognized composers. As to
the effect OF free concerts upon attend
ance, think it is bad. Many who
honestly love to hear good music feel
that 80 long as they can get what they
want for nothing, they will remain away
when they have to pay for it, 1t is GER
tainly true that free recitals demoralize
the concert business. The question
then for schools and Conservatives to
decide is whether tu continue free re-
citals because they have refining in
fuence in the community. or to discon-
tinue them because they ruin paid con-
certs. ! incline to the last provision,
though my practice is according to the
first. Formerly l charged fifty cents
admission to all Of my concerts and had
good houses. Now l could not get a
corporal's guard at that price. People
will come to free recital even in a
heavy storm, but if tickets are to be
purchased they regret that the storm
prevented them from coming"

Should professional musicians be ex-
pected to give their services free Of
char ge to church and charitable institu-
tions9" This is a practical point which
must often be considered by both mu-
sicians and the public. Mr.. Sigmund
Landsberg, the we'll known pianist and
con- poser OF Omaha, expresses his opin-
ion in the following words:
al believe that to the extent that a
butcher, a printer and other tradesmen
would be asked to donate their wares
to charity. the professional might also
be asked,-or rather it would be NOR.
ally justitiable to ask professional for a
donation Of his services. Often, how
ever. we meet with instances where the
word "charity" constitutes but a mis-
nomer for more frivolous pretexts. The
tendency to ask professional services
gratis, frequently only to help out
building churches or organs for wealthy
ard prosperous congregations. should
unquestionably be curbed by an energet-
ic protest on the part Of professionals,
who should first satisfy themselves
whether or not they are being imposed
upon. This may be difficult matter to
decide at first glance: they should at
least reserve their d. tcision until they
have Investigated the object in regard to
it's worthiness: after that they should OF
course be left to use their own judgment
in the matter"

SHARPS AND FLATS.
EMILY GUIwITS.

In view of the recent appearance OF
the Marine Band and the approaching
season of local band concerts. We are
tempted to consider again the question
whether bands should attempt to render
music originally written for stringed in
struments. Director Rollin W. Bond OF
! York, whose extensive and successful
experience with bands enables him to
speak with authority on this subject, ex-
presses the following opinion:
81 certainly do consider it within the
scope Of the concert band to successfully
perform the higher forms OF music.
When say thie l have in mind per-
feet Instrumentation for the perform
ance of the work mentioned. The
band is too often referred to end con-
sidered as the "brass band" This is
not the band have in mind, nor even
is the military band. Marshal or field
music is usually bright and sparkling,
aid calls for predominance Of brass
and percussion instruments. Yet the
military band is incomplete without a
good representation of reed instruments.
which are usually confined to clarinets.
But the concert band with its complete
quota Of flutes, oboes, bassoons, bass
carinets. saxophones and great pedal
basses permits Of far greater scope,
and makes it practical to perform COM
positions formerly played only by the
large orchestra. In addition to the
usual Instrumentation Of reeds, the in.

Instruments; they are very necessary,
but the percentage must be small.
With wind orchestra, such as have
outlined, the lights and shades OF any
composition may be properly treated,
and there is more than ore concert band
in this country that is demonstrating
this assertion today.
1t must be remembered that many

Collegiate Alumnae.
Among the societies organized and
conducted by women, none combine a
higher ideal with more practical meth
DDS than the Association Of Collegiate
Alumnae. Organized in the eighties,
its membership, now considerable, ex.
ceeds two thousand women graduates
from the most advanced colleges in the
country.
The required qualification for mem
bership is very high. and is so strictly
enforced that only within the last two
years has our own university been ad-
mitted. 1t is believed that a body
which assumes to stand for the highest
educational attainment should demand
from its colleges the best educational
preparation. And while the rule neces-
sarily operates to exclude some indivi.
duals very desirable to the Association.
aud has brought some severe criticism
upon the leading spirits Of the organiza-
ton as exclusive and aristocratic, it
appears to have been on the whole a6-
vantageous to the Association.
Among the members OF note are the
women most prominent in educational
work throughout the country. Some
like Doctor NJ. Carey Thomas and Alice
Freeman Palmer are. or have been, at
the head Of college administration, many
only little less widely known are COL
lege professors and teachers. and all are
more or less actively connected with
some phase Of educational work. They
are women OF the most practical turl OF
mind. the highest purposes. and the
broadcast culture.
The Association employs a paid sec.
retary and issues its own publications.
the latest Of which is the Magazine
Number for 1901. containing papers On
college entrance requirements, sch ool
ventilations and present needs in educa-
ton. 1t also supports foreign fellow
ship open to young women graduates
OF the recogniz ID colleges. These are
the features OF its activity which nat
urslly attra;t most attention, They
are far from representing, however, the
sum OF its efforts. OF much greater i'm
portance is the work it inspires and
directs in its branches, for it is the
heart OF system of local societies ex-
tending from Boston to San Francisco.
Branch associations exist in the larger
cities and in some smaller towns that
are educational centres. Nebraska Uni
versity is one OF the latest admitted OF
the twenty-two colleges now recoRniz sd
by the Association, and the Nebraska
branch has a membership Of over fifty.
1t is in the branch rather than in the
General Association that the ability and
influence OF the individual graduate

tion OF the work results from the need
Of meeting local conditions. The best

The mission Of the critic is noble
one, and one seldom appreciated either
by performers or audience. True criti-
cism is the mirror in which the sincere
student may see both his faults and his
excellencies faithfully reflected. DR.. j..
H. Tyndaie, speaking on this subject,
hits the nail on the head when he says:
professional musicians prominently be-
fore the public should be judged by an
ideal standard as to technical excel
lence and gradations Of expression. The
latter need not correspond to the inten-
tions Of the composer.-usually an IN
known quantity,-but should be the
output Of individual temperament and a
musical soul Quality Of tone is every
thing. Quality is the SOULS speech.
Pupils of Conservatives (piano dis
ciples as we'll as vocal votaries) should
be encouraged. The beet measure Of
criticism applicable to them is found in
the three AS: ambition, achievement,
assertion. The first two should be fos-
tered and the latter frowned down as
neatly as possible.
Should sharp line be drawn between
judging OF professionals and amateurs? !?
Yes and no. Ghe word amateur" COW
ers a wide range. A musician once out
in the open. protesting the ability to be

The true student OF music, whose
ears are so often tortured by unmelodi-
GUS tunes and rag-time dittIes. is often
inclined to ask the question: "Is rag
time music better, or worse, than no

says: in answer to the above question
l would say that we can hardly imagine
what this world would be without any
music at all. 1t would indeed be sad
and dreary one. One in which We would
lack most inepiring incentive to good

Hearing an artist fills student with
