Associating Tones With Color.

Color music for children! This is the
newest kind Of musicl Instead of be-
Ing a dreary study In black and white,
music is already rainbow tinted.
1t is Mrs. Fannie Hughey, of st.
Louis, who has worked out this in
genious method of teaching.
"A child at the age of 6 months can
begin to associate tone and %color.' de-
clares Mrs. Hughey. 1.-THE youngest
children are of more plastic minds,
and OF more elastic muscles and vocal
chords.
"A child can learn to sing 'Do-do'
just as well as to say Dada and if
given a red ball at the time the tone
is sounded it soon associates the tone
and the color.
II maintain a mother can begin a
child's musical education at the age
of 6 months. if the child is a normal,
healthy baby"
Mrs. Hughey begins her musical
work with children by telling a story.
They are not placed at the plano. They
sit about the teacher on cushions to
make their first trip into music fairy
land.
"And the queen of the fairies clapped
her wee hands and exclaimed. we will
send those little earth children some
singing birds from fairy land. Each
little bird shall pass through our
magic rainbow and wear a beautiful
color So the queen waved her wand
and out flew a red bird down into
James hand"-here the teacher slips
a red bird of cardboard into the child's
hand-"and the little bird began to
sing Do-do-do."
The teacher sounds middle c and the
child gazing at the red bird uneon-
s~ciously fixes in mind the color and
associates with it the c tone.

NANlSHES WITH GOODS AS

The police are today looking for the
man who worked an old swindle game
and secured two raincoats for 81 from
the United Clothing Company, at l1S
Market street. He ordered the coats
sent &C. o. D." to 60 Bank street, and
was on the stoop when the d~eliveryman
called there yesterday. The latter was
requested to &C for change of a dollar,
and the supposed purchaser had disap-
reared when the d~eliveryman returned.
4 search through the house failed to
reveal him or the coats.
Another robbery was reported to the
police by lsadore Silvern1an, of the
Universal Press Company, at 223 Mar

do so we call it the Do-bird. Do-do,
sing the same little song, children.
Very good. Now the fairy queen let
another little bird down from fairy
land. 1t flew through the rainbow and
huttered into Ruth's hand" and the
teacher huns softly "Me-me-me.''
"Oh, the little Mi-bird, exclaim the
children. while the teacher
the little orange Re-bird and the little
green Fa-bird, and shows where the
five birds nest on the piano.
Then she produces a f%ive-barred fence
upon a sheet of gray paper and points
out the fayorite perching place of
each.
In this name the scale is devel-
oped-first, a singing bird colored to
correspond with the scale of spectral
%colors, then the gray cards upon which
the eolored discs are pasted. The chill
dren visualize the colors readily. and
sing and play the tones upon the
piano.
Then Mrs. Hughey plays n the
children find the corresponding colors
from piles of discs.
After a time a melody is played and
the children arrange very small col
ored discs TO correspond with II and
mount il upon a staff.
Soon a child makes up a little tune
upon the piano while the other children
arrange the melody as it is played and
mount upon paper charts.
"A child's Imagination is very ac-
tive and sensitive declares Mrs.
Hughey. 80 I associate sounds and
colors and to make the picture definite
and reasonable, ! give the colors the
shape of birds because birds are pretty
to look at and to listen to. Before the
child realizes it he is able to sing the
tone represented by any color shown
to him"
