Opera for Every
American City
By Richard Ha4eman

Dy RiCll0I0 AaXcm3n
There is plenty of musical talent in
America, but this fact is not suff-
GENTLY realized. Recent experiences
have shown me that much can be done
with intelligent amateurs in q verv
short space of time.
For instance, every town and city in
America should have its own opera
house, where American singers, homo
talent, could be heard. An annual sum
should be set aside for expenditures.
and each opera house should be in the
hands of capable and reliable di-
rector: Experienced stage managers
and chorus masters would also be q
with no dramatic training would make
great progress in few weeks.
To my mind it is foolish to insist
upon the efficacy of any given method.
The first essential for a career is a
fine voice. If you are without that, all
the method in the world will not help
you. The second essential is, of course.
intelligence. It is easier to study for
opera than for the concert stage. In
opera the orchestra is great help.
Then, too, a certain emotional excite
ment is produced by costumes and
scenery and by the very nature Of the
character portrayed. But in opera the
singer is called upon to present only
tragedy or comedy, as it happens. must
be depicted on one song.
This is the age of women, and they
should see to it that children receive
a more thorough training in music.
No education is complete without some
knowledge Of music, and is there q
more beautiful pastime?

TEACHING OF
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Familiarity With Good English Is
the Nations Need, According
m Indiana State Grange.

Indianapolis News: The Indiana
State Grange, in aresolution adopt
ed at Richmond last week, declares
that if America is to be the melting
pot OF the nations those who elect
to make America their home must
"bc transformed from the habits,
customs, language and ideals OF
their native lands to those OF Amer
ica. the home OF their choice; thus
losing their identity and becoming
Americans and nothing else The
resolution points out, there are
many who have come to our shores
who refuse this transformation and
persist in the habits, customs Ian
puagc and ideals OF their native
lands. Not only this, but their
children and their children's chill
dren are taught the same, Thus
we have little foreign nations
springing us among us, having
nothing in common with us and
whose sympathies and activities in
this crisis are far too often with
the enemy.
The Indiana State Grange declar
ed unanimously that there is mo
honest and patriotic reason for the
teaching OF foreign languages to
children in the grades, either in the
public or sectarian schools" Such
instruction, the resolution contends,
breeds disloyalty and scdition. Be
lieying this to be true, the grange
resolved that it most emphatically
protest, against the teaching OF
foreign languages in any school
whatsoever, public or private, sec

BREAD SAVING MEASURE.
Primitive American Practice of Put
ting Family Loaf on Table With
Knife Handy Advised.

Boston Transcripts: As a meas
ure of food, and particularly Of
wheat economy, the Cleveland food
conservation committee has adyis-
ed return to the primitive Ameri-
can practice of putting the family
loaf on the table on a board, with
the bread knife handy, and the cut
ting of OF slices at request. I'm
questionably this practice would re-
duce the waste Of bread, and would
probably reduce ii, consumption,
ior the piling up OF ready-cut bread
leads to more or les, idle and >u-
pcrlIuous consumption OF it. No
one calls for the cutting OF slice
OF bread unless he wants it, but he
may consume cut slices in some
what automatic manner. However,
there is another side to the bread
knife question. He who cats much
bread will not as a general thing,
consume quite SO much OF the meats
as he otherwise might, and ii the
ready assimilability OF bread is con-
,idercd il is as economical a food
a, can we'll be supplied We may
recall the rusc OF the thrifty farm
er OF an earlier day who offered
two pieces OF pie as a reward, at
dinner, to the boy who should cat
the most brcad-and who found at
the end OF the meal that the boys
had all taken so much bread that
they were unable to eat any pie at
all. However, we have probably
gone too long in this country on
the basis Of food ad libitum. The
