Music Teaching by Improved Methods

Miss Olivia Richardson, a teacher
Of the Lexington College for Young
Women, will soon return from the
Landon Conservatory Of Music at
Dallas, Texas, where she has been
taking a thorough course In the
famous Mason Touch and Technlc,
including several new and valuable
touches not yet published. She also
took course In the new touches used
by the great pianlsts 10 chord, octave
and melody playing, with their
artistic application for the delightful
effects heard upon the platform, and
a complete course in Phrasing and
Expression. While there she attend
ed a course of lectures on the Peda
gogy and Psychology OF Music Train
ing, and Round Table Talks on how
the difficulties occurring in music
teachers work are best met and
overcome.
But of particular interest to par
ents is the fact that she took COM
prehensive course in Musical Kinder
garten, and is now prepared to teach
children this fascinating method.
The musical results of this method
are said to be marvellous, and its
value in character building great. In
Iact it is said by parents who have
sent their children to good teachers
of this course that it makes musical
enthusiasts of them, aud that there Is
no further trouble in getting them to
practice.
1t is entirely evident that her
3 patrons will now have the advantage
of the best late ideas in the fast
advancing art Of music teaching, and
of the far more rapid learning and
( superior results coming from these
e improved methods. She has also an
: extensive list of the best music, each
/ piece with charming story or dis
e crlption. This greatly increases the
= pupils interest in music study and
- makes the pieces far more enjoyable
s to all. Not the least value to hel
5 patrons will be the satisfaction Of
knowing that their children art
studying the best new ideas and helps
in the art Of music teaching auC
: study, We congratulate our musica
@ people upon having teacher who i
/. progressive enough to prepare hersel
n for this improved and advanced worl
5 aud is so up to the demands of th
Ie times.

WILSON'S TRIBUTE TO TEXAS
Secretary CT Agriculture Praises
State in Highest Terms.


| Following are a few extracts from
an address delivered at Houston the
other night by Secretary Wilson, Of
the department of agriculture, who
came to Texas to attend the boil
weevil convention at Dallas:
never saw such magnificent
fields as 1 have seen in Texas. To-
day l saw one field Of 30 900 acres of
the finest cotton and rice lands, .and
it is virtually lying idle. A few cat
tie are being grazed upon lit. This
land will grow alfalfa, as well as
cotton and rice.
One becomes amazed when he con
templates the possibilities Of Texas.
Within an area 700 miles long and
fifty miles wide you can produce
enough from your lands to supply
the United States. So far you are
hardly scratching the lands.
1t is lucky for the people of Texas
that they do not depend upon one
crop. You grow in this state nearly
one-third of the cotton produced in
the United States. Notwithstand-
ing this, there are other interests
that you should study. You are
losing many millions of dollars be-
cause Of the ravages Of the boil wee
vii, but you are losing many more
millions of dollars because of the
apathy shown toward other staple
crops.
The great canal across the isth-
mus means much to the farmers of
Texas, because your products will
90 through it TO supply the world.
You will not have to send drum
mers to the North in order to dis
pose of your crops. The people of
other countries are clamorous for
them.
The department Of agriculture
feels an interest in what is going on
in Texas, and takes an interest that
is not possible for individuals 10
take. We can not close our ewes to
the fact that if the bolt weevi gets
a holu in Texas the other cotton
states are doomed. You in this
state can better afford to lose YOUR
cotton crop than can the other
states. This is So, for the reason
that you have other crops to fall
back upon that the other states have
not.
A few years ago the department
OF agriculture wanted a soil that
would grow fine filler tobacco.
Scientists were sent to Cuba and the
SOILS on which this tobacco was
grown were brought 10 this country.
Agents of the government were or
dered TO 90 forth and find this SOIL
no matter where It was. II was the
desire TO find it If il was in America
There is small wonder that this
soil was found in Texas. Think
about it, we are paying Ss.00u. .oD0
per year for that kind Of tobacco.
That IS yours if you want il. We
are ready to give 1t over TO you.
You should pay more attention 10
your great Agricultural and Macbap-
ical College. OF all the institutions
Of this character aided by the federal
government, the one in Texas ranks
at the top.
