Piano, Organ, String Instruments.

PlanO, 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
the 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,
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, OF vice versa. When all com-
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in whole or
divided courses. All missed lessons

The story of Miss Marguerite Bertch

Hall, as the husband, is superb. and
little Bobby Connolly, as the unhappy
offspring tossed rudely about by the
