Loretta DeLono,

The history OF the piano or any
other modern musical instrument is
but as day compared to that Of the
harp, which dates as far back as 1860
B. C., when the harp was played on
by priests and nobility only. The
classic instrument, which fell into
discard for centuries, is now becom-
ing the great solo, accompanying
and orchestral instrument Many
erroneous ideas have prevented the
more general study Of this-"the
queen OF instruments. The study
Of the harp has the following advan-
tages:
Necessary development OF the
much needed power, concentration.
Thorough knowledge OF harmony
lin first lessons) and of major and
minor scales.
Is less mechanical than piano, as
sharps and fats are made by the
use OF the seven pedals.
Immediate cultivation OF q correct
ear, as the performer is obliged to
tune each string to exact number OF
vibrations.
Music is written In treble and bass
clefs, thus producing melody and
harmony at the same time.
Only one lingering for all scales.
Harp furnishes most suitable &C
compartment to the speaking and
singing voice.
Is prime favorlte with children,
as elementary practice is not monot-
onous and chords and octaves can
be played by tiny hands.
Good positions are easily secured
by competent harpists and they are
the highest paid musicians in the or
chestra.
The price Of a standard harp Is
less than that of a high-grade piano.
The Irish harp is now very popu-
lar in the east and artists like Alice
Nelson, John Mccormack and
others are using the Irish harp.
Loretta DeLone has the largest
harp studio in the world and Omaha
is fortunate in possessing such a sue
cessful teacher and artist, who is
willing to pioneer for the harp in
Nebraska.
Miss DeLone has large class of
youngsters, who are proudly dis
playing credit for their harp music
given them in the public school.

desirs Of many music lovers who
have long wished to hear them.
o
For many months protests have
been raised In various places abou,
the use OF wedding marches OF Ger
man origin, namely, the ones by
Wagner and Mendelssohn, despite
the fact that the Mendelssohn march
was written in the Incidental music
for Shakepeare's Midsummer
Nights Dream"
During the summer local NIT
stefan remarked that she had read
Of the Star Spangled Banner" being
used for the march and considered
it a fine idea, But the Star Span
gled Banner" smacks q little too
much of the martial to be entirely
suitable for marital peace and hap
piness.
Another suggestion was Onward
Christian Soldier" but here again
certain lines such as the one abou,
marching as to war;" while in some
cases they might be, alas, all toe
appropriate, they hardly suggest the
fate one would like TO tempt by the
music OF this occasion. In the mean
time people have continued to marry
whether there was a real American
wedding march to help them to and
! from the altar or not. But now, two
American composers have needed
the call, John Philip Sousa. and
Reginald De Koven, and both OF
their marches are on the market.
Both have been highly commended
in the musical reviews, and the one
by De Koven is the subject OF es-
pecially favorable comment in the

school year without a respectful
hearing of the complaints against
him it would be a rank injustice
to man who by his position was
entitled to some courtesy. If
the regents want to employ a
new president to take charge of
the school at the close of Klein
smid's contract it is not necessary
that he be given a hearing, or
that any arguments should be
made for his retention. One of
the grandest things about this
country is the fact that no man is
indispensable. Whatever position
of trust or responsibility he holds
he can pass out, and another
takes his place, and the work
goes on, in many cases better
than before. Perhaps the friends
of the Flagstaff normal will find
this true in the matter of a
change in the presidency.
