on the performers energy, is much more
exhausting
The business of the student is not to
use up his strength in getting an cdu-
cation but to husband on, il possible,
increase it, to he ready for the infinitely
harder work of earning Il living. Music
study should always answer to ITS name.
The exploitation of any pet method or
technical system at the expense of the
music education proper is II waste of
both time and energy, and it to be en-
couragcd. Such study reminds one of
the man who wrote, lcgibly, the whole
of the Lords Prayer on the face of a
postage stamp.
This, then is the problem for serious
minded teachers and pupils to consider:
how to avoid waste in music study.
These suggestions may be of use:
!. There is room for teachers of all
grades. The primary teacher who I'M
derstands his business is as necessary
as the master who adds the finishing
touches.
,. The laborer is always worthy of
his hire; but it doesn't pay TO hire a
sculptor to build "A brick wall
3. Within certain limits teachers
should be allowed to use their discretion
as to the length of lessons. If they are
not honest and conscientious they don't
deserve patronage
4. Repetition is necessary. but there
may be too much of Il good thing. Better
wait until next lesson to clinch a point
rather than discourage the pupil.
). The amount of work is not nearly
so important as the kind of work Josef
Holman usually practices only two or
three hours a day, but he practices with
his brains.
i. Always it is music that we are
teaching aand studying; methods and
systems are only a means to the end
and must take IA secondary place.

BY noon Of the following day he had fin-

Hogan says that two elements entered

1t was real coon story: a real coon
