And why did you elect to teach rather than concertize?" asked. Most aspiring panists like the limelight.'
 Stage fright more than anything else I think has kept me in studio work" was the reply T can never get over that feeling, hence 1 could never succeed as a concert pianist and while I should like to be both of the two I am glad l se- lected teaching because I've enjoyed the part I have essayed, and I think the teachers place In the world is a very ele- vating and Inspiring one, and one which admits of great possibilities. For in- stance, one thing l believe that teachers should do in this country Is to teach their pupils the love of the classics. Popular music has made terrific inroads on clas- scal music in America, while abroad 1t Is just the other way. classical music is the popular music there. That of course. music is as much a part of the child s education as grammar, and mathematics andespelling and writing"
 Do you think that it is necessary for the American pupil to study abroad ?' asked.
 'Whcn the proper time comes,'' said Mrs Kegel, but the average pupil who goes aproad-say those who can afford maybe only year or two years study arc often not fitted for finishing, and hence the time Is spent in undoing what has been incorrectly done. One thing that the American teacher should do is to give the pupil the right foundation. I believe that just as good work can be accom- plished under the proper teachers right here in our native land as can be accom- plished on the other side.'
 What effect will the war have on the foreign teacher?" asked
 Tt will have such an effect that 1t will give the. American teacher a great op- portunity to show what metal she Is made of, said Mrs. Kegel. The American teacher will now have the chance to show what she can do, for the situation is such that American students, at least for the present. will have to remain at home and continue their studies here The stua- ton on the other side, of course, is la mentable from every standpoint, and 1t seems to me that the American teacher has come into her own at last"

 Mrs. Kegel talks interestingly of her studies abroad
 I'm not a wonderful. woman by any means" she says modestly. Pm just a teacher. I taught in America several years before going to Germany. For five years I taught there ms we'll as studied, spending the greater part of the time in Berlin.''
 With whom did you study therer I asked. es
 q studied with Herr Severin iEisenber- ger' said Mrs Kegel .Tm sure that name however, doesn't spell anything to the average American. because 1t isn't known here like that of Godowsky, Schar- wenka and the rest of the great pian!sts But do you know that many of the finest teachers-the very best teachers abroad have no worldwide reputation whatso- ever. because they have never come be- fore the public? They have been content to teach. Concertizing has never appealed to them and yet they are the equal if not the superior of many of those who are better known.
 Herr Eisenberger is a pupil of Lesch- etizky, the great Vienna teacher, and the maker of pianists," Mrs. Kegel continued He was what might be called wonder child Today, he is one of the most pop. ular pianists in Germany. He is in great demand all the time and only <by the most fndefatigable labor Is he able to meet the demands made, both as a concert pianist and teacher, because he has hap plly combined both. This season, for in- stance, besides his classes, Herr EIsen- berger will appear in Sweden, in Austria and in Paris--that is, his engagements have been made, if the war does not en- tirely cut off all things of that nature"
 How did you know who to go to-" l asked, when you went abroad?I I fancy It Is rather difficult task selecting the proper teacher with so many In the field
 'l didn't" said Mrs. Kegel. but I wait ed and found out and finally made my decision. which was happy one in every respect"

Some of the biggest hearts have ever come in contact with have come to know through the Corner. have received kindness from them that has touched me i'll way I can never forget believe in their kindness more than I can say. arhe help has been the real, ssterly. sub stantial kind.

 Your voluntary tribute to our humble mission Is as gracious as 1t Is welcome to our hearts. If the editor had no other return for the work of years, the knowl- edge that it has been the proud privilege of the Corner to prove to doubters and pessimists the possibilities and the fact of the reserves of good in human nature would be great recompense of reward.

SOCIETY AND HOME TOPICS FOR WOMEN
MRS. ROSA FUTRELLE-KEGEL TALKS
 ABOUT MUSIC AND THE ART OF TEACHING

l In a recent issue of one of the well
 known musical journals the following
 editorial appeared I "One of the expected results of the Eu-
 ropean war on music in this country ha s
 already made itself felt. There are re-
 turning many American teachers who for a number of years have resided abroad.
 These musicians, who have settled in Eu- ope and have won places for themselves in the musical life of several capitals, will now seek to build up clienteles In their own land. The American teacher, he who has worked arduously here in years past to establish himself, looks, perhaps. on these homecomers with a suspicion that they may crowd his ifield, and that the battle for existence may thus be rendered more difficult. But 5his should not be the attitude for native teachers to adopt He should welcome back his brother in the teaching world. He should extend to him a cordial reception, the same that he gives his colleagues who work here. Is it not reasonable to expect that the return of able American teachers from Europe will aid the teacher here, will raise the general standard, and in this way tend to crowd out the incompetcnts, the "fakes?' Mrs. Rosa Futrelle Kegel, who has re- gently opened studio here, may be classified among the returning teachers which the "edtorial has reference to, as she has. for several years resided in Germany and taught there Mrs. Kegel tells with great interest and much anxiety of her handsome grand piano" which is now in Berlin.
