ITALIAN THE BEST SCHOOL
The distinguished visitor was asked
as 10 various schools Of singing and
abe expressed her opinion that the Ital-
Ian was the best, as having the most
approved method. Their teaching ~
that there are three registers 10 the
voice, while the French school teaches
there is but really one. The Italian IL
rorrect--there are three registers as
substructure upon which the whole SUI
perstructure is based; and In operation
the voice that has been truly and COZ
rectly trained, runs through these reg
listers so evenly and smoothly that II
may appear that there is but tho one
register, Then the italian school takes
the highest notes out OF the chest. Ma
dame Schumann- Heink said that It was
no effort for her to jump two--yes, three
'cfHves IN Wagneran repertoire. and II !
I'D not necessarily follow, as some |
critics have claimed, that the Wag. |
merriam scores tend to tear the voice |
where the correct method has been fol- |
lowed In study. Madame then referred |
to Lille Lehman. who at a somewhat |
advanced age Is able yet to sing DIM |
fult roles without apparent effort,

In response TO queries about Ameri- |
ran girls going abroad 10 sing, Madame |

good instructors In this country as I'm |

10 remain this side OF the water where |
they can find teachers who will take
personal interest IN them in Europe"
said Madame they think Americans |
are made Of money, and are there 10 be |
relieved Of II. Teachers in Europe have /
no special regard for American stu 1
dents. and charge prices 10 them far I'm |
excess OF what they would charge stu |
dents from their own countries. When 7
asked what places In the United States I

students, she replied Boston or Chicago |
Il Ike Boston The atmosphere there |
Is so rehned and polished; the culture |
there Is Of a very high order. And then |
there Is the Boston Symphony orches- |
