A Trip TO the Reform School

Editor Signal:
AS per your request, | will give
you report of my recent visit to
the Industrial School at Ft. Grant,
You and the people of Benson re-
member that I was with the school
before and after it was moved to
it's present location. I arrived at
Ft Grant after dark and was met
by Supt. ingalls, and several of the
officers. One of the first things
noticed that appealed to me as l
went III the gate was sign which
announced that no smoking was
allowed on the grounds. In days
gone by there was no sign of this
kind. Visitors smoked on the
grounds and threw down their cigar
and cigaret stubs and the boys
picked them up. Another thing
noticed and which one time was
lacking to certain extent, the Off
GERS were united and had the inter
ests of the school at heart. All
seemed to have due respect for the
superintendent, Mr.. Ingalls,.
About the first thing noticed
upon rising the next morning was
that the entire grounds were fenced
in with a high wire fence. l
thought this would be fine thing
to keep the boys from running
away, but l was told that it didn t
" ork successfully in all instances,
and that boy who did get over it
had the advantage of a good start
in attempting to run away, as the
Off ,er would have to go to the one
gate to get out. +
l had .long talk with Superin-
tendent ingalls,. who is a man ap-
parently about so years of age.
with a solGierly bearing, man
seemingly of quick decision, rea-
ably easy of approach, yet one who
naturally commands confidence
and respect.
In the school room, under the
direction of Mr.. G. G. Hickman,
assisted by his wife, the boys were
orderly and seemed to be learning.
There is a printing room and the
boys get out monthly publication.
the Industrial School Record.
The grounds are neat and clean.
the sanitary conditions good and
the boys are cleanly and neatly
dressed and the school seems to be
conducted upon proper system.

big tent, and those of The domestic
animals in the regulation sawdust
rings at either side of the arena.
There's something doing III these
two rings and the arena every min
ute of the three solid hours of en-
tertainment.
The members of the Barnes ami
NAL acting troupe have been re-

Advantages to Guild Members

music world has ever witnessed. Organ
factories have doubled and trebled their
equipment; four-manual organs. now as
numerous as were two-manual some dec
sdes ago, are being built with rapdity
that precludes anything like a COM
plete enumeration Of them; the organ
lists technic is even forging ahead
of the builders achievements, and re-
citals, both for numbers and standards,
excel the widest dreams of 1896. Or
gans in churches. theatres, moving plct-
ure houses, hotels, stores, exposition
buildings, city halls, high schools, audi
toriums, residences-a galaxy not even
thought of score OF years ago.
The things to be accomplished in the
future by the guild are large beyond
measure. Already it's standards OF ex-
animation have set such high mark OK
respect that the letters "A. A. G. o."
and "F. A. G.. o." affixed to members
name are earning for him position and
respect that cannot easily be denied.
The day is not far distant when
churches. theatre, music halls and all
possessors of organs will be not slow
to reap for themselves the advantages
of the guild in this direction of qualify
ing the degrees Of attainment of its
academic members.

Warden Of American Guild Of Organists
The American Guild of Organists was
organized in 1896 by 145 organists,
founders" Of the guild. and they Sc
cured a charter from the Board OF
Regents OF the University of the State
of New York. Under the provisions OF
the charter the list Of founders was
closed. and subsequent members were
admitted academic or non-academic.
The academic members. known as
fellows and associates, are admitted to
these lists only upon examination.
Non-academic members are known as
colleagues, honorary associates. hon.
orary members and subscribers.
Founders. fellows and associates alone
are entitled to affix TO their names the
letters of the guild. as follows: "a.
G. o." "F. A. G. o." and "A. A. G.. o."
respectively. Colleagues are eligible
for associateship. and, after passing
that, for fellowship examinations.

template the affairs of the organ world

Added to this should be the habit OF

The best teachers should be consult

continued until the student can render

To the Organ Student

in the grade Of the smaller works OF

and Mcndelssohn.
As the scales and arpeggios are the
foundation of all technique, The driii
in these should be most thorough; all
keys should be thoroughly mastered;

per all future progress. In TINS con-
nection I would emphasize the supreme
importance of slow and careful prac-
tice. using great care in regard to tone,
lingering and accentuation. Constant
sclf-criticism in these important feat-
ures will repay all the care and trouble
expended. Carclessncss and slipshod

The above requirements fulfilled, the

proceeding with the graded study OF
the greater organ compositions OF the
masters, Bach, Handel, Mendclssohn,
including those of the modern French
school and of our worthy native COM
posers; understanding, at all times'
that there is a goal as a climax to the
various degrees along the way. 1t
must not, however, be forgotten that
the main object OF the church organ
list Is not the concert hall.
While skill in concert playing most
certainly enhances the usefulness OF
the church organist, still, one-sided
training to this end will result, often
times in failure in the supposedly
more simple duties Of the church or
ganist.
On the other hand, the training in
church duties is never in any way det-
rimcntal to the work of the concert
organist Harmony, counterpolnt, mu-
sical form, hymn playing, transpos!-
ton, modulation, ability 20 improvise
in the simple forms, at least, should
constitute a part of the "stock-in-
trade of the successful church organ
ist. The concert organist may pass
without these qualifications more read
lily than can the organist Of the church.
Aside from these subjects as out
lined, the organist should broaden his
horizon in other directions in order
that he may not become one-sided and
narrow. The day has passed when one
may work solely within the confines
Of his chosen groove. He must, if he
would make his influence felt, be a
man among men, keeping abreast Of
the times in all phases of our COM
plex life.
The study of music is a most fas-
cinating pursuit, ell absorbing. In
fact, for any marked success in it an
intense love for the art must possess
our souls, but time must be set aside
for the broadening process in other
lines if we would command the respect
due and would place our art in a niche
well beside other arts and professions.

TN THE kitchen Of our simple pension in
the Rue du Bac in Paris, Blanche, the
little maid-of-all-work, had encircled in
ink certain dates on the calendar that hung
above the sink.
These, she explained in the course Of time,
were the dates when her husbands brief per
missions (the word they use in France for
military leave) were due. She knew quite
we'll that in all probability they would be
much, much further apart, but she found 1t
practical way of keeping up her courage.
She was twenty, he twenty-one and an Al
pine Chasseur,-one of the "blue devils" with
the jaunty tam pulled over one ear.
She told me that dpres 10 gterre they will
have a cottage in the country, and maybe
children.
That is, if he is not killed, or blind, or too
mutilated, or too far gone with tuberculosis
from the German prison camps.
In any of these events she will continue to
be a maid-of -all-work all her life.
She always ran to comply with every re-
quest, was thrilled with the gift of postcard,
and said "Merci' every time she performed
service.
