WAR HITS LABOR UNIoN1sM

This means Just one thing it means
that the cause of the labor unions,
once stronger in England than any
where else in the world. has been put
back quarter of a century. And it
may mean more: two wears ago Lloyd
George was playing with the idea of
the government ownership of many
public utilities even of the coal mines
the tendency may well end in wide
spread government ownership: il may
we'll end in state socialism.-The Chris

and other Jersey municipalities IN en-
larging its scope. II is also 10 De
noticed that as in the case with New
York a great many OF our local tcach-
ers also pursue the profession IN New
ark. Montclair, the Oranges and otner
nearby suburbs.
The foregoing heads bring US now to
a consideration Of the local musical
life. What has been narrated cannot
but fail TO show that all these condl-
tons have had the effect Of develop
ing strong liking for good music on
the part of our townspeople, and as
result one finds a strong local musical
life existing. Competent teachers ind
a great demand for their services and
local singers and artists do not want
for lack of engagements.
On estimating the influences operat-
ing on local musical life we must be
gin with the children and notice that
the city does not neglect their musical
education. Through the excellent sys-
TEN of instruction in vogue in the pub
lie schools and also be it said in the
parochial schools the future citizens
have impaired to them a knowledge of
the rudinents, and liking for what
is best in music is inculcated in their
tender years. This system is con-
tnued through the high school the
Dickinson High School Boosting a par
tcularly fine students orchestra. A
movement is also in progress for the
erection of a municipal organ this
movement having the backing of the
Jersey City Musicians Society. The
park concerts are also a means Of mu-
sicll education and another evidence of
the interest of the public authorities.
Despite the overshadowing influence
Of New York. Jersey City is the scene
of numerous fine concerts. Most Of
these are held in the Dickinson High
School. Under the patronage Of the
College Women's Club, world-famous
artists have visited here, among whom

sufficient study, he can accomplish with
facility what seemed before a problem
too difficult to solve, they fail.
Then, a great mistake of many teach
ers, and which proves misfortune to
the pupil. is to give compositions that
require technique and Interpretation
far beyond the ability of the student.
So II is that you often hear difficult
pieces so badly played; whereas, some
thing adapted TO the advancement OF
the pupil would be performed in
manner that would do both teacher and
pupil credit, and could be played be
fore the most critical.
The teacher must study his pupil, try
to gain his confidence and know just
what the latter can do and in which
manner he must guide him. As a rule,
II one has, say, twenty pupils, the thor
ough teacher Will have almost as many
different ways of imparting instruction,
as there are seldom two persons who
study in the same manner. II is often
said that this or that famous teacher
has a certain method That is alb
solutely false. If you were to ask
pupils of one of the great masters how
they were taught, each one would have
different tale to tell as to how he
was guided, and still the majority Of
them play well, having reached their
goal through various channels or man
ners of instruction.
1t certainly is to be deplored how
many teachers there are who are totally
Incompetent TO give instruction. II it
should come to pass that law be en-
forced requiring teachers to show GER
tlfcates proving their ability a. such,
it undoubtedly would be welcomed by
both teachers and public. II would
not only protect the public from the
scores Of incompetent instructors, but
would enable many capable teachers to
have larger classes. | am positive, too,
that in this way many of the common
place teachers would then endeavor TO

TO THE STUDENTS OF SINGING.

only takes the place of the clappers
and tOo.s of these. True, the people
think they like the melodies Of the So
called music they are hearing, but that
is their mistake: they would not even
listen to those melodies if unac-
companied by the noisy rhythms. Just
try them and you will know this fact.
To the singer it is an important fact
that he or she is the only musician
who deals solely and alone with the
melody directly. As 1t were, the singer
takes the place of the soul Of the
music. The motive is always found in
the melody.
While and after conquering the
physical impedments of the vocal
organs. caused solely by wrong breath
ing. the student Of singing should
study constantly what lasting good
music is and how it is composed. Ii
would soon develop in the conscious
ness that sense of rhythm and
knowledge of harmony are of just as
much Importance to the singer as to
the instrumentalist and to the COM
poser. Only thus can we have musl-
cianly singers and only thus can the
numberess singers help to lift the
present conditions into a more general
recognition of the difference between
mediocre music and music which In
fallibly uplifts the lives of all who per-
form or listen.
To make an immediate start, inform
yourself, from those who know, what
music is worth studying, and study
only that both by attentive listening
TO real artists and seeking recognition
OF the works. Do not follow the wrong
custom of singing these wonderful
works with unfinished voices and lack
of breath or thought control. Nine.
Sembrich and all the other great ones
never did that. They were musicians
before they sang the great masters.

Bv JAMES P. DUNN, President Of Mu-
sicians' Society Of Jersey City.

The geographical situation Of Jer,,
sev Citv finds itself strongly rejected
I'M the musical life Of the municipality.
This city of approximately quarter
OF a million persons is located but NJ
teen minutes via the Hudson tuDes
from the heart Of New York, the me,
tropolis Of tn new world. and an equal
distance from Newark, the metropolis
Of the State OF New Jersey. A great
many Of its residents pursue their
daily occupation in these two cities,
while the ever increasing number oil
local industries, railroads, factories
etc, yet again offers employment 10
many Of its citizens at home. Natur-
ally its proximity to two such large
centres OF population strongly az
fects musical conditions, but De ~ saIu
with emphasis that Jersey City mas
nevertheless a strong musical NE Oh
its own. Consequently consideration
of its musical affairs might naturally
be divided under three heads.
In The first place consideration
must be undertaken of the influence CT
che nearness of New York City on
local conditions. Here 1t Will De
noticed that local folks have all the az
vantages Of New Workers as far as abil-
ity TO hear all the Metropolitan con-
certs, operas, lectures and other eau
cational advantages are concerned.
great many Jersey City students STUDY
in New York. Many local residents
sing or play in New York church choirs
and what is particularly noticeable is
that many Of our teachers also NAM
t,;n studios in New York. Moreover,
the works of some of our local com
posers have been played by the New
York symphony orchestras and their
songs and other compositions rendered
in It's concert halls by world-famous
artists. All the foregoing goes TO
show that Jersey City is contributing
no mean quota to the musical life OF
New York.
In the second place Newark also
plays strong part in the. local musl,,
cal life. This city was the scene OF
quite successful music festival last
spring in which many Jersey City PEG,
pie took part. 1t is proposed TO hold
one night Of this festival next spring
in Jersey City and TO bring about CO.

gain more knowledge in order TO meet
the requirements Of the law.
Another very important question is
regarding technique and how 20 ac-
quire same. As space does not allow
me 10 discuss this at length, shall
dwell on just few points. Technique
being such an important factor in
piano playing. an earnest student
should DO all in his power 20 attain II.
But how? First Of all select a teacher
who thoroughly understands what
studies TO give and how they should be
practised. Remember. so much depends
on the pupils own work and regularity
of practice. The teacher may be ex-
cellcnt. but IL the student does not do
thorough wori he will never acquire
the technique he desires. In practis-
ing technical exercises do not play
them solely mechanically: that is with
out closely watching your fingers; AMI
know Just how you are producing the
different tones. Practise very slowly
with a firm touch. until you are per-
fectly sure OF every tone, then a faster
tempo can be taken.
To produce a full. clear tone let the
arm relax. throwing the whole weight
to the ball of the finger so that you
think your finger is piercing, so to
say, the key. This is quite a natural
manner of playing. and can be com.
Pared to a person walking II you DID
not let the weight of the body rest on
the ball of the foot you would walk
awkwardly and in a short time become
fatigued. SO it is with PLAYING

full. plastic touch. The playing OF
scales in different forms should not be
dispensed with. no matter how far ad-
vanced the pupil may be.

NAV be mentioned Ysaye, Zimbalist,
Mccormick, Gadski and Alma Gluck.
Another strong influence is that OF
the church choirs and local singing So
cieties. Most of our churches main
tain large chorus choirs whose effect is
to spread broadcast a knowledge OF
choral and vocal art. For the ladies'
we have the Women's Choral and for
the men the Shubert Glee Club. Both
of these organizations give a number
of yearly concerts and very high
artistic standard is maintained.
The recently organized Musicians
Society of Jersey City bids fair to be-
come another strong factor in musical
life. Not yet year old. this society
