Bed Time Tales

MIR. JACK FROST WAKES UP.

Up in the cold north country hoary
Mr.. Jack Frost turned over in his
sleep and stetched his two biggest
toes. Then he snorted three times
and stretched his legs till the icicles
round his knees cracked and snap
ped. Then he leisurely rubbed the
NOW and frost from his e~ye-lashes
and blinked open his sleep-frosted
eyes.
"Well.", he grunted coldly, that's
enough sleep to last me all winter.
Guess it's high time I was up and do
ing. Wonder what time of the year it
is, anyway"
He squinted at the sun, counted the
clouds and added to himself, "Octo-
Der! Well. I am surprised! What
could have made me o~versleep? I
ought to have been at work many
days ago.. 1 wonder If any of my
helpers are awake-hope they have
not all oversight, as I did," And
with that remark, Jack Frost founced
out of his snow-bed, high up in the
ice mountains, and looked over his
north country.
Evidently all his helpers had not
oversight. for there were f1ecks of
snow in all the ravines and ridges;

in sharp distinction from the continu-
u contraction which now ruins 50
many pianists. Piano playing has
been made too mechanical, too little a
matter of mind. The student should
be taught to control mentally. all the
ness, contraction and elasticity, which
are his when he has been rightly
trained.
The world-famous pianist, Madame
Teresa Carreno. whose exquisite tonal
effects were the admiration of the
public and the despair Of other ar
fists who have. not her secret, devel-
oped these principles from the basic
ideas of her masters, Liszt and Rubin
STEM"
Miss Okell. one Of the talented and
favored Of the late Carreno's pupils
came here in response to almost the
teacher. Miss Hulburd. also a pupil
of Carreno, was leaving. She had
been here for ten years. and while she
was here. Miss Okell had been bene-
f1ting from the association and in
struction of Carreno. and from the
musical life of New York and Europ-
can centers . She could bring fresh
enthusiasm and the best Of her splen-
did experiences to the northwest,
"AASA0 q C11O AO4S JuSk III
were needed.
Miss Okell's study. preparation and
entire musical experiences have been
directed toward the developing of her
teaching ability. Teaching has been
her life and as she says. into this she
has put her very best self.
According to Miss Okell, whose
ideas on the subject concur with those
of others we'll known in the musical
world, the best teachers are not al
ways the best performers. and many
most excellent players are not sue
cessful teachers. She regards teach
ing as a distinct art. OF the musical
people she has known land these
have included intimate acquaintance
ship with many Of the worlds great
artists) Carreno was the only pianist
who was as equally successful in her
teaching as she was in her perform
ing.
Miss Okell was also a pupil Of Ra-
fact Josefy, teaching under him, and
several Of the years that she was q
member of the faculty at the National
Conservatory Of Music, New York,
were during the regime of DR.. An
tonin Dvorak. But a few years ago
Miss Okell retired from the copeerva-
tory in order to devote her time to a
large class of private pupils. Twenty
years in New York established her
there as one Of the best equipped and
most successful instructors of the
piano in that cry large and very rich
field, and as might be expected. she
left a large and interesting class to
come to Wesley conservatory.
