BY FLORIAN A. SHEPARD,
Associate. Shepard School of Music

"That student is most likely to sue
ceed," said Harold Bauer recently in
"The Etude," "who conducts his prac-
tice as a continual artistic exploration"
This statement brings home the fact,
fast becoming accepted, that even tech
nical exercises are almost worthless
when they are simply mechanical.
Imagination, intelligence, emotion cam
not be isolated, but must grow from
the beginning with the technique, and
must be constantly related to it. Every
phrase, every note, in fact, must be
heard as we'll as played; must be felt,
too; and first Of all must be imagined
and then willed. To develop ear, mag
nation, intelligence and will during
the periods of technical practice is
surely developing personality; such an
end cannot be considered impractical
because ideal.
Personality is the consciousness OF
power combined with the ability to ex-
ercise that power; it is understanding
of the subject in hand combined with
power of expression. Understanding, in
this sense, appreciation, has q very
broad meaning; the comprehension OF
q phrase, first, as a musical thing; Sec
ond, as a thing related within itself
and also to the whole composition;
third, as definite part of an emotional
message. Obviously it requires pow
erful Imagination developed along sew
eral lines.
That this need Of flexible magma
ton has been widely recognized is
evinced by the various methods for de-
veloping ear and mind. Many begin
ners are at present well taught to think
and hear note, phrase, piece.
What they are not so systematically
taught is to express all of what they
hear and think. For this they need even
keener imagination before playing the
note; also intense will to accomplish
the act and a critical ear to judge how
nearly the sound produced approached
the imagined tone. Moreover, the note
played must be imagined, produced and
Judged not as a single tone but in re-
lation TO other tones. When this is
done in any passage even technical
exercise loses its monotony, since 1t ex-
ercses ear, Imagination and judgment,
while developing physical power, and
acts as a constant stimulus to greater
exertion of will and consequent growth
of personality.
The most difficult task in teaching
along this line is to arouse the will Of
the pupil to secure intense action. The
subject would require volume for de-
tailed discussion, but one point many

CHANGE.

In a statistical survey of the first six
months of prohibition in Arizona, jan
uary l to July /, 1915, Thomas X. Mar
shall shows the marked improvements
In all phases of state life. Crime, in
counties where saloons existed during
1914, fell off 1878 per cent when the
saloons were closed. This insured a saw
ing to taxpayers Of $50,773.9S in de-
creased cost of arrests and prosecu-
tions. Even more striking are the fig
ures for the cities and towns. With a
total decrease of 2,403, or SOL per cent,
In the number of arrests for the first
six months of 1915 as compared with
the same months of 1914, the saving
amounts to $S5,170.14. This almost off
sets the entire moun Of liquor license
revenue, 500. 99S, which was surren-
dered BY the cities of the state.
The record of the city of Phoenix is
perhaps the most remarkable of any.
Over S~5,000,000 increase in taxable

$4,000 less in cost of city government
Tor six months, is credited to the CAPT
tai city of Arizona for the first half
or 1914. The decrease in arrests for
drunkenness for the first six months
Of 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any
city OF its size in the United States.
The number of arrests for 1914 was
1910 and for 1915 was IS. The per
capita cost Of arrests for 1914 was
1888. With lips fewer arrests for
the six months of 1915 for this cause
there was a decreased cost of 81, 346. rs
to the city.
Savings banks accounts in the state
increased nearly $500, 900 the first six
months, and the deposits Of all banks
increased nearly $4,000, 900 up to Sep
TENDER, 1915.
The children OF the state are feeling
the benefit Of prohibition. There were
for the first six months of 1915 1000
more children in school than for the
same period of 1914. The registration
at the state university also shows an
increase of Sc per cent over the regis
tration for 1914.
