! THE MUSICAL CORNER !
4 CONDUCTED BY K. A. THOMPSON, 3
n Violin Maker and Teacher. N
If Were A Young Music Teacher.
(By Fanny Grant,

(By Fanny Grant,
There are two matters that a young
music teacher meets with that deserve
serious consideration and a plain, bust
nesslike treatment. Artistic feeling in
artistic work is one thing; very much
feeling in business is mistake, is quite
another proposition.
The first thought is this: Why does
a music teacher rest contented to have
been once good player? Ask the aver
age teacher to play, and he pleads lack
of time for practice and no will to play,
having exhausted his strength in his
daily routine of lesson giving. So many
bright and capable teachers are on no.
thoroughfare. The end is loss of Glen
tage, and the ills that go with this sad
state.
Let the young teacher reserve daily
time for study, and master, learn by
heart every month, either a song or i'll
strumental piece new to his repertory.
Again. be in some musical club where
each member must either sing or play
new piece, learned by heart each month.
1t is quite impossible to realize just what
help and advancement this will be to
the artistic as well as the work a-day
side of the music teachers life.
The second thought is on the subject
of fees for lessons.
Every teacher will probably feel the
force of this. When the pupil is at last
secured, and the dreary round of ill-paid
lessons is really well on its way, the
first thing the teacher has to discourage
his efforts is absence on the part of the
pupil on account of one thing or another,
but always in way that the teacher is
forced to deduct the price of a lesson
from the sumtotal of the fee.
A teacher has to study the business
side, and here are some excellent methods
that are submitted in the hope that they
may be helpful:
One worldfamous professor has this
plan. You call-always by appointment.
He tries your voice and is non commit
tai. The next day you receive a filed
out blank "Mr. So-and-So will not, or
are-tor term OF ten weeks,-times
week, half of fees payable at the first
lesson, second half payable when the
term is half gone. No reductions, un-
less in case of protracted sickness.
The rule of leading conservatory is
this: The tuition fees are strictly in ad.
vance. No deductions will be e TO,
absence from lessons. In case of serious
and protracted illness exceptions will be
made if due notice has been given the
college.
Another conservatory has virtually the
same rulings changed as follows: Les
sons omitted by pupils are not made
good to them. Exception is only
made for serious and protracted illness,
in which case, upon presentation of a
PHYSICIANS certificate, the Conservatory
shares the loss equally with the student.
These several methods seem excellent,
and as to the amount of the fees them.
selves, it is the same as in other things:
What comes cheap is generally not worth
having; "cheap" school, college, a cheap
society, cheap people are worse than
none at all. and cheap music teacher
is sure to do more harm in the musical
life than ever can be cured.

FLOOR GIVES WAY
IN PIANO STORE
The Whole Contents of the Room 60
Crashing to the Bottom, Nearly a
Hundred Pianos and Organs Going
to Pieces in q Bunch.

The floor in d. S. Johnston's store at
10 north Second street in .his city gave
way yesterday and every piano and or
gan in the place fell crashing to the bot
tom. This makes a gloomy outlook for
Hover & Thompson for their prospective
holiday trade, and their vision of many
dollars in profits has gone glimmering.
Through their ambition to have this
years holiday trade eclipse all others,
Hover & Thompson crowded nearly two
carloads of new goods into their store,
until the price floors broke, and the i'm
mense stock, including pianos, organs,
and all the small goods, went in on big
tumble to the bottom notch in price.
The crash attracted the attention of
people going to business and the excite
:nent spread rapidly, and peopl, rushed
hurriedly to the scene. Seeing that the
doors were likely to be broken down by
the surging crowd, they were unlocked
and the people let in.
Pianos that regularly sell elsewhere
at $3.50, 1915, $500, $3.50, 1915, 800, and
from there up, are selling for 1892. 1912,
1928, $3.50, 1878 and $500. Then there
are some exceptionally fine and elaborate
styles at 1892, $3.50 and $495.
| Organs that regularly sell for $S5, 500
and $llO, are now going at $6S, $40 and
sos.

evening. AT the meeting in PENIS

rotary. Isaac P. Simkins and Henry F.
Werle were appointed tellers for the can
didates' ballots and David A. English
and Elmer Curriden for the appropria-
ton.
Only four candidates were presented
and Ia ballots were cast with the follow
ing result:
G. Wesley Cable, 20
Nathan S. Wood, 4S
Fred Gentieu, 90
John w. TrumbulI, 35
Clerk G. w. Cable read his report
showing a balance OF hand of $3.50, but
there were debts due to the amount of
about $1,000.
H. F. Werle in explaining why the
Board asked for 5000 special tax, an in
crease of $1400 over last year, stated that
there had been a deficit for several years
past which had been growing. It was
necessary to open another primary room
owing to the crowded condition now.
The new room will have to be furnished.
There was an extra cost for fuel this year
and the new steam heater required con-
slant attention. There had never been
enough appropriated for supplies and
many new books would be needed next
year. The seats in one room need re-
pairing. If 5000 was raised it would
place the Board on a square footing with
out having to borrow hereafter.
VIM. P. Denny, who had previously
examined the clerks accounts and under
stood the situation moved that So, 900 be
raised by special tax, which was carried.
Sixty-eight ballots were cast, so for So, 900,
8 for So, 500, 9 for $4,000.

Farewell Services.

Last Sunday was a memorable day at
Emmanuel M. E. Church. At both morn
ing and evening services the church was
well filled. DR.. B. G. Lippincott preach
ed in the morning, from the text, "For
we know that all things work together
for good to them that love me-" and the
choir sang some choice selections.
In the evening the Epworth League
was followed by a song service, after
which the large congregation listened to
DR.. ~Lippincott's last discourse as pastor
of Emmanuel Church, as he will be re-
moved to another charge by the Confer
ence. The theme was, For three years
have | not ceased to warn you, night and
day ever with tears" and was very APP
propriate for the occasion During his
pastorate he said over ST., 900 had been
expended for improvements to the church
property and los had been received into
Church fellowship.
After the discourse the choir sang DR..
~Lippincott's favorite anthem, sCrown
Him Lord of ALL" at the close Of which
Charles Hillman, in behalf of the choir,
presented him with a five-dollar gold
piece, as a token of their appreciation of
his kindness to them and of their pleas
ant associations together during his three
years pastorate here. DR.. Lippincott re-
sponded with tears, and in a broken ac-
acknowledgements of their gift, recalled the
many pleasant occasions with the choir,
and their ready response to his every call
and pronounced a benediction upon them
the Official Board and the entire mem
bership. Mrs. Lippincott was presented
with two beautiful lilies. Many tears
were shed and all felt that the removal of
DR.. Lippincott from Penn's Grove was
indeed a loss, which would be keenly felt
by his host of friends won by his loving
and genial nature.
The congregation arose and sang "Bless
be the Tie that Binds" and ssGod be with
you till we meet again." after which the
meeting closed.
Prof. j. +. Ferguson, of Philadelphia,
presided at the organ assisted by William
Lanning with the cornet, which added
greatly to the occasion.
