ON ITALIAN METHOD
Memoli Contributes to DiscussiOn-As to COnsOnants and Towels

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Since MT. Gunster and MT Lcehr have discussed. through the columns of your paper the merits of the Italian language and it's value to singers. I beg permission, as an Italian and a musician to make few remarks concerning the question in point.
 First, I wish to compliment MT. Guns ter sn coming so ably to the defense of the Italian method. without which many of the worlds greatest singers could not have been produced. 1 have had the pleasure of hearing Borgattl sing, and certainly specializing as he does in Wag- merriam tenor roles, he is splendid vindi- cation of the Italian school.
 On the other hand. must agree with value of the Italian language wherever 1t Is used to perfect diction and tone.
 The pure scholastic Italian, and this does not include any dialect whatsoever, is without single harsh or unmusical sound. There is no driving of the tone into the back of the throat by heavy consonants, no flying of the tongue to the roof of the mouth. Everything tends to bring the tone forwaro to the lips. ard consequently no word Is ever ob- scurely or indistinctly pronounced.
 The distinguishing feature of the Ital- ian language is the preponderance of vowels. So marked Is this that only in the rarest of instances does an Italian word end in a consonant. Any good teacher of singing knows the beneficial effect upon the breathing and speaking apparatus due to this one thing. No other language has this in so marked degree. the English and German languages in fact running to the other extreme, in which the structure of the word seems to depend almost wholly upon the conson- ants.
 Wo all understand that consonants are important as propellers of tone. but the tone itself depends only on the vowel for its existence. The Italian method for this reason can be adapted to use in any language with fine results, but certainly nowhere outside of Italy will you find so much good singing by untrained voices. The only explanation is in the language itself in which purity of enunciation and tone play so large a part.

Chinaman Gives S25

An interesting feature of the report or w. R. Stewart of Ensley was that a subscription for $25 was obtained from a Chinaman, Sam Loo, and another don ation of $25 from a Frenchman, Louis Calliot. The Chinaman operates a laundry in Ensley, while the French man is the proprietor of small shoe repair shop. The reports brought forth much applause and the point was made that if a native of China could see the need of university in Birming- ham and, seeing, contribute to the end that it be located here, certainly Amer ican citizens should be enlightened enough to contribute of their means even to the straining point
