Perhaps the youngest st. Louis boy who
understands and appreciates the techni-
cal part of music is Swear Sam Lasko-
WITT of No. 1102 Morgan, who plays the
violin with the skill of a person three
times his years.
Sam is pupil of the jefferson School
and is advanced in his studies, being a
member of the fourth grade He comes of
a family gifted in music. HIS father and
mother and all his brothers and sisters are
able TO play some music instrument. The
child has marked talent for the violin. and
with the aid OF thirteen months instruc-
ton On the instrument has been able to
outstrip the older members of his family
When Mr.. Laskowitz started. the boy TO
taking lessons on the violin he showed no
fondness for the instrument and had to be
compelled TO practice. He soon learned to
love his music. and now spends all his
leisure time playing the exercises which
his teacher gives him.
The boys father takes great pride in
his accomplishment. He has had made for
him small-sized violin. the lad being un-
able to finger the regulation size. Mr. Las
kowitz regards his as a wonder, and
says he will make every sacrifice to give
him the aid Of the best teachers both in
this country and in Europe.
