Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ, String instruments.


Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
che necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
Justly be named "Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

When the news reached the National
American Woman Suffrage association
that a movement was on foot In Con-
gress to repeal the federal child labor
law this prompt response went forth
from Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, pres
ident of the association:
There has been no greater crime
committed during the war and there
will not be any greater crime than
would be the repeal Of the national
child labor law. 1t required a genera
ton of time and effort to secure 1t,
and its repeal would mean the sacrifice

of another generation-the children
whom the enemies Of that law are ly-
ing in wait to exploit"
Woman suffrage territory Is one
where child welfare is regarded. In
72.7 per cent. of the eleven full suffrage
states there are good child labor laws;
in 100 per cent. there are laws for COM
pulsory education; in 80 per cent. there
are mothers pension laws; in 63.6 per
cent, minimum wage laws, and in
