This deformity has prevented me from passing a physical examination, as L wanted to take up teaching in the pub lie schools. In fact, when I apply for position, as soon as my hand is ob- served l am turned away codly. l have been told by number of musicians that have a fine voice, and under proper tutorship I can cultivate 1t. I should like to be able to sing in church choirs or entertainments. l have not the means to accomplish this. Hence my appeal to the readers of the Corner who teach vocal music. R. M. S.'
 Am l presuming too far upon the often tried and proved generosity of our pro- fessional and amateur musicians in ask of the story just told? If this young woman has talents that may compensate to some extent for the cruel disaster that has foiled her plans of self-support, how are we to demonstrate this unless one fitted for the task should generously off, fer to test her voice and aid in the cul- tiyation of it? As we aHr know, some the world have been raised from obscur- ity by the kind offices of those who dis- covered their gifts by apparent accident.
