On her last visit TO London. in June Of

teacher Manuel Garcia, now 102 years

Batcheller said; 80 few people-although

commendation for what ii has already
accomplished and worthy of watching for
what it is going to do in the future. Italy
seems to be misunderstood by the ma
jorlty of people in America. Take. for
instance, the proposed rule in dealing
with immigrants-that they must at
least, be able TO read and write in their
own language. To the unthinking. this
seems a reasonable enough clause: but
what does their own language mean to
the small farmers, the peasants from the
Italian hillsides who come over here?
Some OF them have not even a written
language at all. They speak dialects. and
the peasant from Northern Italy can by
no means understand the dialect of his
brother peasant from the south The
court language, of course, the language
that is written and spoken by the edu-
Gated, IS Tuscan, but few Of the peasants
can speak it, let alone write 1t.
"They say that surely the Italians have

high reputation as a singer and is one

Mrs. Batcheller has studied under the

Rimsky- -Korsakoff in their original tongue.
She studied with Henschel. Of London.
