No better illustration of unconscious hypoc-
risy could be given. Similar cases may be
found in every city in the land. The strong

those who are blind to their own faults. 1t is

second piano.
The entire work including
transposition and double piano
work was from memory. All of
the performers reflected much
credit on their teacher. Mrs. A.

authorized and accredited teach-

Series, and has been appointed
by the Society to conduct a mus
zeal institute, and to grant inter-
mediate certificates for teachers.
Since no one is allowed to teach
this course unless he is fully
qualified both theoretically and
technically. When one listened
to the accuracy of the playing of
the evening he was not surprised
at the requirements before
teachers were authorized to
teach. He had an insight into
the Standardization of teaching.
At the close of the playing
test Mrs. A. 7. Stovall, assisted
by her mother, Mrs. Clark, and
Mesdames Walter Smith, Kaye,

A playing test and reception
was given at the well appointed

Among the numbers that deserve
special mention might be: Little

certificates in the first years
work of the Godowsky Progress
i've Leries. In this, with the
exception of the solos, the work
consisted of unison playing. So
exact was their playing that one
had to look to see whether one,
or more than one piano was
playing. The Bach was analized
and played according to motive
development; the first piano in
PRODUCING the motive, the second
piano answering it. Some were
played with each hand seperate-
ly, the second piano completing
it as a whole. Attention was
especially drawn to the invention
in nine-eight measure signature,
as illustrating the difference be-
tween triple and compound trip
lie measure. Six Bach were
played from memory in perfect
rythm and created much interest
and admiration in the playing of
musical embellishments in such
perfect unison. Next came the
studies by Czerny and Schmitt.
The Czerny Study, E major. Op.
299 was transposed to C sharp,
F sharp and c natural, and
played in rapid tempo three
times through each, as a test
