MUSIC LESSONS OFTEN LOST
Writer Thinks Children Should Have
Easier Tasks and Shorter Hours
of Practice.

The musical education OF the child,
we must remember, is, in nine cases
out Of ten, plus Notwithstanding
in addition to an already complete
course of study laid out by that ex-
acting and often heartless person
known as the educator. 1t invades
the play hour, makes it by no means
small exactions upon the already tired
brain, and often proves more destruc-
tive of the central gray matter and
more wearing to the nerves than all
the rest Of the child's curriculum put
together. Think of the poor tortured
little spine and the dangling legs on
the high piano stool for an hour at a
stretch! What nervous strain and
worriment, to drop a note here and
there, as grandma drops a stitch, and
be obliged to 60 back again and again
to struggle with the passage until
time, lingering, reading and all the
technique of execution are pronounced
satisfactory! vi,
With less exacting music and short
or hours of practice, I have no doubt
that quite as much progress would be
made by most children in the long
run. Nothing is gained by exhausting
nervous energy and wearing out both
brain and body. Unless a child has
extraordinary aptitude and an inalien-
able love for music, "too much Of
good thing" will simply disgust him
or her with the entire study.
