to think his own thoughts and to eX-
press them as fearlessly and frankly
! in music as in his native tongue. She
says: st is natural for child to eX-
press himself, and if helped to do this
from the first he need never become
a copyist If he tells stories in English,
why not in music? Not that his com
position will be of direct or immediate
value to humanity, but they are of In
direct value-the future of the race
| depending upon development of the in
dividual Our concern is not: what snail
| the child do for music? but, what effect
shall music have on the character and
mind of the child? 1t Is not the many
compositions that a pupil can faithful
| ly reproduce on the instrument which
makes music worth while. but the ef-
| feet of these compositions on the mind
and heart of the child-how much the
study of them has made him think and
feel
/ Mrs Copp says: When we analyze
music we find that it is a decidedly
complex study. The very fact that 1T
does involve and use so many act1vi-
J ties and demands such correlation of
! powers, makes it the great educative
force that it is. However. If the sub
lject can be presented very gradually
1 and pleasantly to the child. his thoughts
will learn to respond in all the neces-
Sary ways with ease. Ii, on the con-
trary, the effort is made too difficult
at first, mental sprains are caused
which may never heal. Edward Howard
Griggs says in his work, moral Educa-
ton that education is valuable in pro-
| portion as 1t is pleasurable He also
says that it is the sheerest folly to null
tiply unnecessary obstacles as was SO
often done in the older education. And
so we appeal to the childs interest IN
every possible way, believing that his
full mental equipment comes spon-
ltaneously into action only through real
interest and joy in the work

The training necessary for the men on
whom rest the responsibility to organize
and direct the technical side in great
industrial affairs must include specia
scientific culture together with actual ex.
perience and practice. according to Sill
Robert Hadfield, an eminent English
engineer.
1t usually happens that the scientific
man Is as necessary as the practica
man, but neither the one nor the other
is a satisfactory organizer, because they
do not unite in one head the combination
of the two Indispensable elements. 1t is
therefore necessary to arrange our edu-
cational courses so as to combine the
two; in other words, to find third type
of man in whom such knowledge will be
united. The solution of the problem is
not easy, but it is more than ever neces-
sary that the the present time SUCH a
new type should be evolved and de-
yeloped.
