OSCAR SEAGLE'S RECITAL.
b~rstOHe sings Pleasing Pros
HrRmnc at Matinee.

oscar Seaglc, barytone, gave a recital of
songs yesterday afternoon in Aoolian Hall.
Mr.. Seaglc has been heard here before and
evidently the impression which he then
made had not been forgotten. for an audi
enCc OF good size assembled to hear him
yesterday. His programme was catholic
In Its variety and showed judgment In its
arrangement. Hackneycd songs were for
the most part avoided and the American
composer received recognition. Just as he
almost invariably does.
Mr.. Seagle Is one OF those singers who
can give definite pleasure in song recital
His voice is one of serviceablc quality,
though not of great proportion or exceed
ing charm. HIS emission OF tone is ad.
mirable. He controls vocal sound with
skill. and understands the value OF color
to an uncommon degree. Furthermore, lie
can manage dynamics eXcellently and his
nuance Is In general delicate and elastic.
Mr.. Seagle goes further than this. how
ever. for he sings many songs with no
small measure of understanding. Perhaps
he does not always probe the lowest depths
of Il lyric, but he reaches we'll down below
the surface. He sings almost always with
line taste. and where his emotional mes
sage is not overwhelming his sense NJ
rhythmic beauty and his aesthetic sensi-
bility 30 far TO atone for the want In the
matter Of style too Mr.. S"agle shows
adaptablity and appreciation. ON the
whole he is one uf the agreeable song
singers now before this public, which Is
not suffering for need OF more rccitals.

Need Of Vocational Training.

This subject has been taken up all over
the country and now there Is a strong
vocational aim in the schools. At pres
ent our elementary school work is based
on an eight year period leading to the
high school. Very often, too often, the
boy at the end Of his elementary school
work, or after year or two In high
school. feels he is not arriving anywhere.
He is learning to look nice and wear nice
looking clothes. but he isn't being fitted
for any occupation, unless It Is that of
clerk.
For this reason the Board of Fhuca-
ton some time ago suggested to the board
of superintendents of the elementary
schools that they try the experiment of de-
voting part OF the last two years of the
elementary school course to training IN
vocational subjects. The idea was to get
n line OH what the boy was good for or
at least to find out what he was not good
for. That L. IA step In the direction OF
discovering vocational aptitude"
