This book, by Albert Lavignac, professor
of harmony at the Paris Conservative, is
as valuable a book can be put In the
hands of beginner in music, either vocal
or instrumental. 1t is authoritative, and
VIII define for the beginner his position
with respect to his own musical educa-
ton, and thereby may be the means of
saving much expense through useless ex-
periments There are so few really good
books on the subject of musical educa-
ton that this is deserving of a special rec
ommendation. With the exception of VIII
liam Shakespeare. Of England, there are no
American birth. NJ. Lavignac, after briefly
discussing the philosophy of music and
various phases of musical education, comes
to a description Of the schools OF music of
the world. What he says OF American
schools is Of especial interest. In Amer
lea, we must regard them 1.-THE
schoolsl as private enterprises having a
commercial character, not destitute of ar
tistic aims, but more especially preoccu-
pied by augmenting their receipts than by
elevating the level of national art Ii is
true this conception allows the professor
infinitely larger remuneration than our
European schools, but this is a secondary
result The taste for music is as pro-
nounced among Americans in any ma
ton, yet there does not exist, properly
speaking, an American school 1t is only
an exceptional case that can cite a
composer, singer or an instrumentalist
of great worth who has been musical.y edu-
Gated exclusively in his own country; on
the other hand, the young and gifted artist
who comes to Europe to study and spend
several years under good guidance returns
home equipped with all the elements of
success. This proves that aptitude is not
wanting, for study cannot create it, but
only develop it. The vast and immense
musical institutions of the new world
should be considered as schools for anna
Tours rather than as schools productive of
true artists" He goes on to give his rea-
sons and to describe the different schools
of this country This alone makes his
book a valuable treatise. M. Lavignac has
been favorabiys introduced to America
through his Music Dramas of Richard
Wagner" which was translated by Esther
Singleton. the translator of this volume. d.

Tito is not a bad story for whiting
away few hours. The plot Is not intricate
enough to make a demand on ones intelisct,
nor does the subject matter tax one In this
way. 1t is a tale which softly coddles the
emotions, and that is what one wants IN
the summer time. The style is somewhat
conscious, in an open, quasi-oratorfcal way
and this also lessons the expenditure or the
readers nervous energy. Tito is the nat
ural son of American father or wealth
and distinguished family and lineage, ana
of a beautiful Italian peasant woman Ine
father of Horace Van Burg, the Italian
husband, will not recognize his sons mar
rage and the wife's mother hates the
American husband The father being Alb
sent when the child is born, it is reported
to him that it was born dead. The mother
dying in child birth. 1t is not discovered TIL
late in the story that the Italians nave
concealed the child from the father and
have reared 1T to hate him and all Amer
icans The life Of Tito, who has the dream
mess of eye and the exquisite gentleness OF
his mother and fair skin and sturdy fo-
business that spoke of other than Italian
blood, furnishes in its development the prin-
cipal interest In tender passages the au-
thor uses thee" and "thou," but frequeat-
ly forgets himself and uses them at times
alternately with ''you," which would be In
better taste throughout. The scenes OF the
story are Italy and New York. e M

A Broader Elementary Education.

]. p. Gordy. professor of the history or
education In the school of pedagogy OF New
York University, has made in this volume
contribution to pedagogy that is note
worthy on account of the difference of its
authors opinions from the opinions ex-
pressed by such educators as Dewey and
Baldwin. He bases his conclusions and rec
concentrations as to practice on the conv:c-
ton that there can be no fundamental study
of education without seeking to ascertain
the end education should strive to reach
and the impulses and capacities 1t should
appeal to, and that there can be no ratioral
teaching that is not based on definite no.
tions as to these matters. A feature OF the
book is the emphasis laid upon the doctrine
that there is place for the will In educa-
ton. The current theory inherited from
Herbert, and by him from Rousseau, that
everything should be made to depend upon
interest, that there should be no must In
education, seems to the author thoroughly
pernicious-a theory that is prevented from
resulting in deplorable consequences, the
author claims, only by the fact that most
