GERMANS GUARDED FORMER
EMPEROR NICHOLAS FAMILY

Berne, July 31.-Repeated reports
of the assination of the former Emper-
or Nicholas of Russia have brought
out statement in diplomatic quar-
tiers that the German authorities took
care to guard as far as possible
against the eventuality of an assina-
nation of any members of the former
imperial family, by a secret article in
the Brest-Litovsk treaty providing
for the treatment of the former EN-
peror and his family. This article
as discussed in diplomatic circles, re-
quired that the personal safety of the
imperial family should be safeguard
ed by suitable military and police
guards, and that their future surb
roundings should be in keeping with
the dignity of their former position.
1t was in accordanc with this provis-
ion is is said that the Red Guard,
which formerly had charge of the i'm
perial family was changed to guard
of Lettonians in whom special conf
dence was reposed. The change of

NEW METHODS WHICH MAKE
THE DRUDGERY OF MUSIC
A PLEASURE.

Do you remember how you hated the
Music Hour and Practice? Your child
won't have to, for through Mrs. Dun
its teaching in teaching children
the hard facts of music, study must be
presented in the form most appreci-
ated by the child mind. Without hav-
ing the lessons degenerate into play
hours, and yet to make them a pleas
ure to the child this was the prob
lem l sought to solve" Mrs. Carrie
Louise Dunning was explaining her
original method of teaching music
to children by making the drudgery
pleasure.
The highest and complete thought
OF the Dunning system is the three
fold development of the child; spirit
ual, mental and physical. It's. pur-
pose is to develop real musicians in
stead of mere players. So from the
beginning, the children are trained in
every branch of music; Ear training
on novel lines, enables the children
to develop wonderful accuracy in pitch
and key. Sight Reading and Key
board work are correlated from the
beginning Rhythm and Pulse are
taught through body movements,
songs, rhythmic drawings and old dance
forms. The Keyboard harmony COM
promises chord and melody building,
meditation, transpositiol ond impro-
visation. Musical History, Analysis
and Form are taught in most attract
i've way by means of verses and pic
lures The hand technic is based on
on the Leschetisky Method
We know that facts expressed in
verse are more easily retained than
in prose rules. The child is intelli-
gent and not intellectual. Therefore
means which appeal to a child's nature
ana capacity should be used to cult
vate the love for music and desire to
learn. AS each thought and princi-
Pile is presented to child, an object
Lesson is given. Abstract ideas are
never grasped by children but poor
ly, while object lessons are given read
y expression.
Miss Edith Fletcher, a talented
young musician, is certified expon-
ent of the Dunning System and is
forming classes for children in this
city. She has successfully taught the
Dunning System for two years in
New York in select school for chill
dIen.

from the same provision requiring

The prevailing diplomatic view here
is that the interest of the German au-
thorities in Nicholas and his family

ian, and foresees the possibility of GeR-

ally prove on effective part of Ger
