for study have been exceptional as
few men have a chance of spending
six years in Berlin, the musical cen

that have been written of him from
prominent men in the country in
answer to enquiries made by Dean
Wrightson, some are as follows:
ARTISTIC and genuine artist"
Mr.. Wertimc can be relied upon
TO do expectional work. II cannot
speak too highly Of the man. He is
q gentlemen this appearance aud
manner are much in his favor, az a
musician be is a hidden star" "Mr.
Wertime is very persistent in teach
ing classical music only. Will not
listen to so called popular music.
He is a genius; aud most enthusiasts
tic and successful"
| could fill the paper with such
| comments, notices and extracts as
these. The School of Music is for
tunatc in securing such man. We
are paying him a large salary but we
could not secure an up to date man,
such as the school now demands with
out paying we'll for him. The future
of the School otyMusic is simply be
yond estimating, we will have pupils
from all over the country here before
many years.
A PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.
a demand for Preparatory De
partment in the School OF Mssic is
very strong and so commencing with
the Il rl.t-rm such department will
he started. When the study o.
music is once begua it should be
taken up in earnest as u rart Of the
child's education. and not as pas
time; otherwise the results being
superficial the chiIa's enthusiast
will soon disat pea" because OF his
inability 10 aecanpl sh anything OF
value, either, as means OF amuse-
ment Of culture. Children should
be taught 10 well conducted School
of Music snd not at home or in
private studio, for the same reasons
which make good primary school
infinitely superior to instruction
from governess or private tutor.
In such school the children come
in contact with other pupils of their
own age and similar ambitious, and
having an opportunity to measure
their own progress with that of
others they are not likely 70 become
Indifferent and aGathetic.
Miss Emile jerks Bray will be in
charge OF this department and her
success last year warrants the APP
pointment. She will give half her
time to this work and half to ad.
vanced scholars Children will meet
in classes of four and the small sum
of 81 so term will be charged for
two class lessons week, one lesson
telng given after school hours and
one on Saturday mornings. Children
who have already taken private work
in the school, will not be admitted
to these classes. They are organized
for beginners and to induce parents
to lay proper foundation in music
al education.
The State and University make il
POSSIBLE Tor residents OF Morgantown
IN PARTICULAR, t. secure i splendid
musical instruction from competent
and experienced teachers The
School OF Music brings these teach
ers here and State aid makes it pos
sible to secure this instruction at
IN, ch less cost than one would have.
to pay elsewhere. Yet because they
can secure lessons at still fsw dol
lars cheaper from persons also are
teaching here and who have not
graduated as competent instructors,
these teachers do thriving business
and lay wrong foundation tor a
musical education. Pupils studying
here are not competent teachers I'M
til they have graduated and received
their diplomas.
THE FACULTY CONCERTS.
Four Faculty Concerts will be
given again this year, the last of the
series being at Commencement Fl
nancially last year they were a fail
ule, artistically great success. For
the first concert either Madame
Bloomfield Zeister or Wrl Sherwood
the two greatest piano soloists in
America will be engaged for Piano
Recital. In The second, the Choral
Society will give MendeIssohn's
Oratorio est. Paul" This is an
enormous undertaking. Madame
Jenny Osborn Hannah and Mr..
Frank Hannah have been engaged
as Soprano and Tenor soloists for
this occasion: Those who heard
them last spring will remember the
fine artists they were. The Contralto
