TRAINING CANARIES TO SING.
The Studio Of a Brooklyn Woman and
Her Methods.

An enterprise OF interest TO bird lovers
is the little home studio for canaries
kept by a Brooklyn woman. To teach
a bird to sing sounds somewhat like TAX
ing liberties with human nature. but there
is distinct difference between the sing
ing Of these birds after taking a full
course OF music lessons. and their per-
formances as given without regard to the.
laws Of harmony.
Primitive bird organs imported from
Germany are the main educators in the
studio. A thoroughly finished resident
pupil who has been under the organs in
fucnce from infancy. brings the faculty
$50. and Is considered well worth the
money. Pupils from outside are received
Birds with shrill. high pitched voices are
taught to manage and moduiate their
tones. while birds who have not sung for
a long time. and whose owners arc wor-
ried about them. recover their voices and
catch fresh inspiration from hearing the
organ play.
The bird culturist has her birds in
top story fat in that part Of Brooklyn
where rents are cheap enough to allow
of space TO spread out in. The best rooms
are given to the birds and the organs.
although the regulating of singing meth
DDS and various details Of bird raising
are conducted cheek by jowl with homeiy
family tasks.
I'm my part of Germany nobody would
put up with the singing Of an unframed
canary" says the principal of the indus

to speak English well. They would as

CHARITY WORKERS

The newest profession for women

n prominent club woman. You needn't
laugh. There really is such a profes.

young woman would enter into train.
ing for It, There Is not much compe.
tition as yet, and the opportunities for
studying charity work are limited but
still II is now possible"
New York has established train.
ing school for charity workers and II
Is meeting with success. The women
who enter are put into active service
at visiting under proper lectures upon
the different phases Of the leadership,
and then there are courses of subjects.
II Is quite worth entering from a finan.
cial standpoint, also. Philadelphia is
proverbially conservative, and yet we
pay the young woman at the head OF
our organization charities the salary
Of $4,000, and she can greatly supple.
ment 1t by lecturing and literary work
upon the subject of her profession.
"Other cities do better than this and
the time is not far distant when all
charitable work will be conducted in a
mcthodical manner by an expert. who
will be well paid for her services"

advantage in being able to combine in
an easy and natural manner the play
and activity of a young mans life with
its more earnest problems. As az H..
lustration of the manner in winch the
various phases of the work combine,
witness the following:
"A young man in the educational de.
partment is taught stenography,
through the employment bureau he is
assisted to secure a position, through
the savings fund he is encouraged to
become thrifty, and through the teach.
ings of the various religious meetings
he is encouraged to be generous with
his earnings.
"A distinct tendency is seen, to lay
emphasis on the teachings of the Bi.
Ole, as applied to the social conditions
of this life. rather than 10 the indivi.
dual conditions I'm a future life-more
brotherhood in conduct and less theo-
logy in theory. A man is given to I'M

"Second--A notable feature Is the
attendance at mems meetings. It

marked increase over 1900. The mum.

"A special secretary is employed to

wisdom of these ideas by the success

What is the most important feature

THE first of these questions might
