Art in ~Conductino.

Pail Mall Gazette: The death Of
Lieutenant Dan Godfrey-sad enough
as the actual fact is-Surely brings to
the mind some profitable thoughts on
the subject Of the art OF conducting.
He was a man who thoroughly believed
IN that art OF conducting; he recog-
nlZed the influence Of the conductor
upon a band, inc he fully realized the
enormously important part which the
conductor played in any orchestral
combination. The bare statement of
tnese truths seems at present some
What to rench upon the province Of
commonplace. Yet there was n time
when the conductor was looked upon
with little reverence enough, when II
was considered that the leader of the
orchestra was good enough for every
purpose, and when the relation be-
tween the timebeater and the band
was regarded as being practically n
nominal element in successful playing.
Such a phrase as the personality of a
conductor was hen nonexistent. Even
at the present moment you hear com
ments in unintelligent quarters upon
the valuelessness of a conductor. and
individuality On the par of a con-
ductor Is regarded in such quarters as
a Pigment of the critical brain. Not
perceiving h nature of an "undis-
ltipalsu iiidote IN their logic, these
men practically say that no band that
Is bad will play we'll under a good con-
ductor, and that, therefore. no good
conductor is responsible for the fine
playing of u good band. Such pioneers
as Lieutenat Dan Godfrey dor we
speak now of English conductors and
English ~audiences) helped oward q
different point Of view, and today.
among musical audiences. the art of the
is regarded with reverence
and discriminating criticism.

can give you a piece of news in which
you, as q BoStonian, should take much
interest. 1t is that the worlds demand
for beans has become greater than the
supply"
II knew it would some day" the
celebrated divine replied, and this fact
must be due to the influence Boston ex-
erts on the world. We are the pioneer
bean eaters. Perhaps you are not
aware the reason it has taken nan.
kind so many centuries to learn the
worth Of beans as a food for human be-
ings Is that the nations have uncon-
s%ciously inherited an ancient prejudice
against them. The Egyptians cult
waited this legume extensively, but
finally set hem apart as an offering to,
their deities. P~ythagoras warned his
disciples against beans. Some histor-
ians declare that he imbibed his doc
trines concerning beans from the
Egyptians. among whom he had been
educated, but Aristotle has another ex-
PLANTATION. He calls attention to the fact
that in their voting the Romans used
black and white beans as ballots. as
the Greeks used oyster shells, from
which we get '~ostracize' and that Pyth-
agoras, in counseling his followers
against this legume, was speaking
~symbolically, merely meaning that they,
should forswear politics. 1t has taken
centuries to overcome these ancient
~preachments against beans, and Bos-
ton, in setting the example which has
restored this wholesome food to it's
proper place In mans. diet. has earned
additional honors."
