THE IDEAL MUSIC
SCHOOL ART is LIFE

zle the people, but that art is life; con-
sequently, he will assume firm atti-
tude toward his art. that Of seriousness,
sincerity and enthusiasm.
A pure, ideal atmosphere, however. is
entirely out of place under the system
OF our music schools. where CONNER
cialism, the most powerful antagonist
20 idealsm, regns supreme; where
teaching is considered not OF art but
tedious work. drudgery; where musical
art is taught by the clock. and the
sound of the bell Is the stopping signal
for teachers inspiration and students
perspiration and sweet message OF
repose to the teacher and disappoint-
ment 10 the student. The student look
inc up TO his teacher as his artistic
guide, unconsciouSly develops the same
attitude toward art, and the result is
a victim on the altar of commercalism.
The ideal teacher. who is not only
performer OF great ability, but also
an experienced pedagogue, possessing
the wonderful faculty of impartIng his
knowledge in a clear, concise manner,
will not look upon teaching as an an
interesting profession, but as a living
art, a source of inspiration, and will re-
joice in il. To teach by vocation, not
from mere economical necessity, should
be the ideal of the teacher who, pos.
sessing the innate talent and cagernesl
of mind 10 study human nature, will
find renewed energy in developing fresh
ideas By studying the pecul iarities OF
each individual student.
The importance Of having public
contests by the students cannot be
overestimated. Especially is this true
when these contests are held in the
presence of great artists serving in the
capacity OF Judges. The natural desire
70 Guido each other stimulates the sta.
dent 20 study more energetically; the
ambition TO please the celebrated
judges kind.es his enthusiasm, ami

The study of subjects making no
general musical education, like ear.
training. sight singing and the theory
and hlstory Of music, while being IN
the curriculum of almost every music
school. has not assumed yet the m
portance Of requiring minute and
detailed treatment. One of the weak
points IN the system OF our music
schools concerning the study of the
above mentioned subjects is the ex-
emption Of children from this branch
Of study. The old notion of studying
the theory of music as pure matho-
MATES is out of date. and under a
modern system where the same study
Is approached from its artistic sid,
there can be no fear of everlasting

An evil inherent in our music schools,
most unfortunate condition that must
be eliminated from the ideal school, is
the exploitation Of talent-the Off
spring Of the commercial system upon
which our institutions Of music arc
based. The parent or teacher Of the
talented student. utilizing his excep-
tional musical gifts for their own self
ish purposes, al time when these gifts
are unrlpe and not developed. commit
a crime. not only against the individual
but against the community as well. The
neglect Of musical culture as we'll as
general education in the case of the
talented student is PROCLAMATION of art.
He who aspires TO be the apostle OF his
art must be the master of il, and this
can only be achieved by perseverance,
and love toward his art. The display
of the gifted student at public concerts
provided by the school, depriying the
other students Of the opportunity 20
appear in public, IS another fallacy

CHINESE START REVOLT.
ORGANIZED Party Against Yuan Shi
Kai

San Francisco, Dec. 26.-An organ
lied revolutionary party to be known
as the punitive expedition against
Yuan Shi Kai' has been organized
in China for the purpose Of uphold
ing the republic, according to a ca
blegram received here today from
Tong King Chong, president of the
Chinese Kung Tong (Chinese Republic
assOciation.) It was from Tong King
Chong's headquarters at Shanghai,
China, the first news came of the
reported revolt in Yunnan and other
Chinese provinces.
According to the cablegram, the or
ganization has announced that in the
event its efforts are successful all con-
tracts made by Yuan Shi Kai will be
disregarded. Revolutionary leaders
have declared that one of the objects
Of the organization "is to punish Yuan
Shi Kai, the traitor"
Regarding the reported Yunnan re-
volt the cablegram said that following
Yuannan the proinvces Of Kwei Chau,
kiaGnse and Hupeh revolted and that
the government ordered troops dis
patched from Szi Chuen province to
put down the uprising. These troops
it was said, disobeyed the command
and aligned themselves with the rev.
olutionaries. Many citizens followed
the soldiers in joining the revolt the
cable stated.
Hupch was not mentioned in pre-

vices said nothing about the province
of kWangtung, which was declared in

it is extremely unlikely that the stock

The impending stoppage Of the legal
sale Of whiskey in the county will be
anticipated, it is understood, by many
persons who will buy quantities of
whiskey, beer and wine, for their per-
sonal use during the coming day sea-
son, the length Of which is matter
of speculation. Already, it is reported
that citizens have been laying up

quantity are said TO be worried by
the future prospects for obtaining

Inasmuch as the dispensaries are
closed at sunset of each day, and the

NEEDS FUNDS FOR SHIPS.
Naval Engineering Chief Calls Atten-
81 ton to Lack OF Funds for Bettering
Machineuy.

Washington. Dec. 23.-Improve-
ment of the machinery of warships
has been seriously handicapped dur
ing the last year by lack of funds, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
bureau of steam engineering, made
public tonight
THE progressive reduction in ex-
penses for maintenance, coincident
with an increase in the size of the
fleet and of the horsepower of their
machinery" writes Rear Admiral r.
S. Griffin, engineer in chief, has made
it almost impossible to do anything
more than to keep the present equip
ment in satisfactory conditions"
The report points out that the war
has greatly increased the cost of ma
terial. Deliveries also have been de-
layed and the report urges a big in
crease in stock in store to prevent
similar delays in future.
Discussing the huge task in connec-
ton with the proposed building pro-
gramme for the next five years, Ad-
miral Griffin says:
Attention is especially invited to
the fact that work on the design Of
machinery is seriously hampered by
the limitation placed by congress on
the employment of technical en-
ployes in the bureau. Much that it
is desirable to do is left undone be-
cause of the inadequate force of en-
ployes A similar condition exists in
the machinery division of navy yards"
OF the naval radio plants, the re-
port says, the new high powered sta
ton at Darien, canal zone, the first
to be completed of the chain of sta
tions authorized by the last congress
has far exceeded expectations and
assures the success Of the entire un-
dertaking."
Progress is being made with the
building in the San Diego, Pearl har-
Dor and Cavite links of the chain and
contracts have been awarded for the
Tutuila and Guam stations.
