Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-22

Gs@SR1 cheney" Since that time other
thoughts on the matter have oc-
Cured to him. For example, take that
question Of studying abroad. There are so
many people who go abroad and who are
very energetic" and apparently very busy
accommodating knowledge and education,
and still they are not becoming efficient
We have had many examples of people
who have gone abroad to study, who have
stage ed and worked and plodded. and yet
they have not caught the deficiency"
haiti. They can talk about various teach
ers and methods. They can do everything
but show their efficiency.
The writer heard a recital by some Amer
lean girls at q certain place in Berlin last
year. N was simply pathetic. 1t was worse
than pathetic. II was terrible. Those poor
girls thought that because they were in
Berlin they must be on the right track.
The one who writes this could name a
dozen voice teachers IN Omaha who could
have put those girls in the right way and
could have mad something OF their voices.
Now. here comes the Musical Courier OF
New York with an editorial, and by the
way. the editorials in that paper are always
bristling. they are SO full of point. It
says:
Among the $3.50 American music stu
dents who went abroad this fall for study,
were 1885 second Melbas.' l.2S6 second
Paganinis,' 1885 second Rublnsteins,' 1885
second Beethevens,' t,2s second David
offs Most OF them travelled second class
and Will be second class also when they re-
turn"
These figures are startling, and it should
be noted thai they apply only to those
who have gone abroad this fall"
And the pity OF It is that some will coma
bach second class" inefficient. and some
will die OF disappointment and grief, and
some will be broken hearted md will moi
have the courage to come back and will
try 10 end II all.
II would be very interesting to read an
article on The American student abroad
and what becomes OF him or her" written
by the brilliant Mr.. Bluimenberg. III

Miss Evelyn Hopper has launched he
first concert with success, and she Is en-
titled to the hearty support of the peopl
for the balance of the season. It Is to b

former years was not carried on, for IN
d program in this course is altogether to
commercial and In bad taste. This wa

artistic program Is just as necessary to
