land. Mr.. Monteith says he does not
belong to the modern experimental
class of vocal teachers who are con
stantly inventing their own new meth
DDS of developing the voice, but that
he teaches the principles CT the ltal-
ian bel canto method Of singing which
was developed and used by the masters
Of centuries and is still taught and used
by the leading teachers and singers
of Europe and America. He also says
that he finds his weekly trip to Salem
very interesting. That he has heard
many splendid voices here and found
his students enthusiastic and serious
in their work. One Of his most inter
ing statements is that it requires more
than a beautiful voice to become good
singer. He says that a good amount of
brains is a necessary accompaniment
and believes he can make a better sing

voice and the intelligence to use every
bit of it properly, than he can out of
the possessor of a magnificent voice
who has not the necessary amount Of
gray matter to make them an intelli-
