cusSeS Change in
& Study of Music

Chicago, July 2S.-Great interest is
manifested in the gathering of educa =
tors of national reputation who are
now in session at the national sum
mer school here. The teachers are con-
sidering several plans for the advance
ment of their pupils, some of them of
such a radical nature as to arouse the
keenest interest not only among the
educators but among parents.
One of the plans under discussion
is to make a complete change in the
teaching Of music. Generally speak
ing the old way has been to teach
or not The new idea Is to take in
instrumental music, and the PROPOSE
ton Is that the wonderful pianola in
educational Institutions
This movement has the strong back
ing of L. S. Commissioner of Educa-
ton William T. Harris who predicts
that the new era in American musical
education will drawn when the pupils
of public schools learn to listen to the
great musical master pieces rendered
by the aid of the Metrostyle Pianola
The Metrostyle pianola is the only
instrument that has received the seri-
Gus attention of the worlds greatest
music masters and artists. 1t is the
only player having the wonderful Met
rostyle devise by the means of which
any one with out the slightest knowl-
edge of music can render the most
difficult composition as would a vir-
tuoso.
The pianola is already being used in
many private schools for this purpose
and in such colleges as Harvard. CO.
lumbia and Vassar Commissioner
Harris would like to see It used in the
general exercises of all public schools
so the pupils may rapidly acquire
knowledge of the styles of the worlds
foremost composers and the ability to
recognize and enjoy them.
The Metrostyle Pianola Is on sale AT
Eilers Piano House. Price $3.50 and
easy terms.

than did the spring grain, which is a
