but when the effect is too subtle FOR
words he sits down TO the second piano
and plays. That almost invariably
succeeds.
a littla girl was playing the Men
delssohn Concerto in D Minor too
phlcgmetically, when MIR. Adler stopped
her and asked what certain part
meant to her. She was perplexcd and
looked at him for help. But he in
t'eXibly pinned her to the point until
she SAID she knew it must be played
sS,wcetiy, gently and Unexpectedly
Then he asked her to play it that way,
which she did, having acquired q con-
crete idea from within herself.
Mr.. Adler imprcsscs upon one that
music is the final expression Of charac-
ter, and to make it beautiful we must
develop our minds and characters to
the fullest. A knowledge OF the sister
arts N so helpful.
Mr.. Adler inspires his pupils to wor-
ship at the shrine OF the classic COM
posers, and one of his sayings is:
master the we'll tempered clavchord
and you have gained an open sesame
modern" Some Of my most delightful
lessons occurred when I was studying
Bach's French Suite in E Major. Mr..
Adler was preparing it for a pro-
grammc. and would not only play it
for me, but practised it with me. After
we discussed the historic character Of
the various dance movements it was in
initeiy more interesting. for after |
had worked out in detail the phrasing,
pedalling. tone quality and every pos
sible technical side of the suite the
historical associations threw an en-
tirely new light on the composition.
Special attention is given to the in
dividual needs Of each pupil. Mr.. Ad-
Ter insists that there is no one method
for every one, but there is method
for every one.
Remember always that cart is long
and time is liecting," so devote as many
hours TO your studies as your health
will permit.
After having studied with Mr.. Adlar
for number OF years one feels that
his philosophy Of music is condensed
in the following lines: "Forget all
mechanism and technic. Simply play
the beautiful in music Always retain
your enthusiasm and sincerity. for mu-
sic is truth, and, as Keats says, Truth
is beauty"

AT one of my lessons I was studying
Schumann's G Minor Sonata. There
was one part which sounded very empty

that while was giving due Importance

Results of War
In M usic

What have been the results of tho
war in the world of music? To this
question Margaret Matzenauer quick
ly responded: "Wonderful results. you
may be sure. The spirit OF song is
ennoblcd by tragedy, by suffering, by
sacrifice - by the emotions which stir
the soul to its depths The war has
done great things, for the cause Of
music: For that I am grateful. even
though I bleed for the sorrow Of those
who must bear its hardest burdens.
Entirely aside from the inspiration
which it has given and will give to
composers capable of handling great
themes, just think Of the wonderful
concerts that are being held in New
York. Chicago-in all tho large cities.
The necessity for raising large sums
to carry on Rcd Cross work. canton
ment work and to stimulate interest in
the Liberty Loan and War Stamp drives
has put singers everywhere on their
mcttle.
Before this great need arose, tho
singer had nothing save love of work
and share Of box Office receipts to urge
him or her to effort. Now it is the call
we can. We have redoubled our efforts.
The public has responded more than
ever before, because all the great con-
certs and gatherings Of artists are now
given in the cause of patriotism"
In this connection Nine. Matzenaucr
herself has been one of the most ear
nest and arduous workers i'll the service
of her adopted country She has sung
for the soldiers under the auspices Of
the Var Camp Community Service at
practically all of the important can
tonments. Her concerts for the benefit
of the Liberty Loan and Red Cross
drives in Chicago, New York, Boston,
Cincinnati, in dozen of other cities,
and for so many patriotic benefits that
it is almost impossible to keep count,
have added literally hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars to the cause Of liberty.

New Coins Asked For

There is constant agitation appar-
emily without reaching any definite re-
suit in favor Of new coins. Now the
penny. the nickel. the dime. the quar-
ter and the half seem to supply all de-
mands and pr ~otc convenience There
are some, however, who insist that
there should be return to the old
2 and Scent pieces. and some are urg-
inG that there be coins worth 21a cents
and 127s cents. There might pc IDLY
be little argument in favor of the
latter, but not much. and certainly none
at all in favor Of tFe former. 1t would
seem as il the government machinery
had all it could do without putting
new tasks and burdens upon it. The
people are busy earning and saving
their nickels and dimes, while the
pennies are not forgotten. They would
not earn or save any more if there
we're 2. 2h. 3, or even shilling pieces
in existence. Surely there must be
more important work that needs doing
in these busy days.-Columbia Record.

The Stone Piano company today
is busy installing one of the largest

Orchestras in the new Liberty thea
ter, formerly the Savoy.
The instrument is an exceptional
combination Of a pipe organ and
orchestra. AS a pipe organ il gives
results as satisfactory as an exclus-
i've organ Of the largest type. In ad-
dition to the full orchestra it sup
plies the orchestral tones, including
a magnificent set of 20 chimes,
violin, ffIte, cello, basoon, oboe, cas-
tanets, tambourine, triangle, steam
boat whistle, bird whistle, baby cry,
wind siren, thunder effect, telephone
bell, door bell, fire gong, station
gong. horse trot, and other effects.
1t can be played automatically in
connection with orchestrated, per-
forated rolls. or manually.
The piano and organ are indie
pendent of each other, or can be
coupled at will, so that both
instruments can be played from one
keyboard. BY an ingenious arrange
ment, when played automatically,
the music can be made to exactly
fit the pictures.
The instrument is the newest
creation in theater instruments.

SCHOOL FIGURES
INDICATE need
OF new SPACE

Conditions under which the school
children of Fargo are being housed
were graphically detailed today by
A. Deamer, superintendent of the
Fargo schools. in an interview with
The Forum.
At the present time, two portable
frame school buildings. six rooms
that were never intended for class
purposes, and the Civic Centre, are
being used for class purposes, not to
mention the fact that so girls are
taking instruction in sewing in q
corridor Of the Agassiz school.
Mr.. Deamer has just completed a
statement of the enrolment in Fargo
schools at the close of the first sem
ester, showing a total of $500. At
the close Of the 1916-1917s school
year, there were 3.139 children en-
rolled.
The 8, 300 children enrolled at the
close of the first semester this year
have been increased by the addition OF
80 first grade pupils on Jan. 2S, when
the second semester opened, and Mr..
Deamer estimates that the total en-
rollment at the close of the school
year will be about $500.
These figures are exceedingly inn
portant as relates to the school bond
issue that comes before the people OF
Fargo at the special election next
Wednesday," said Mr.. Deamer today.
THE increase in the first grade at
tendance is surely indicative of a
growing city, and a study of the en-
rollment figures must give some ide5
of the prospective increase in enrolE'
ment in years to come"
