YOUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY.
By E. A. Knudtson,
OF the Mpls. Auto & Tractor School.

OF the Mpls. Auto & Tractor School.
The Automobile, Tractor and Truck
Industry is in the midst of its greatest
period of development and extensive
use. Nothing in modern invention, in
the progress of labor-saving devices, in
the application of invention to every
day life, can show parallel with the
remarkable development of the auto
mobile and tractor. With nearly
100000 motor cars in service
throughout the u. S. alone and new
cars being produced at the rate of
more than million year, it is safe
to say that there is no other field today
which offers to the young man who is
willing to LEARN and willing to Work
as large an opportunity as he can COM
mand in the ranks of those who build
motor cars and tractors and help to
keep them in service: The garage, but
yesterday sort of overgrown black
smith shop, has become place of bust

1t is not by mere accident that
Minneapolis enjoys nationwide repu-
tation as center of musical and
dramatic culture. When it is remem-
bered that such a splendid institution
as the MacPhail School of Music has
been for many years sending out hun
dreds of ambitious and talented young
men and women who have taken the
courses in music and vocal expression
at this school, it is not surprising that
the effect should be to produce
greater general public appreciation of
these arts. With this enhanced culti-
walton of the public taste comes the
demand for the very highest and most
artistic productions of the musical and
dramatic world.
For this much is due to the thorough
ness and high standards maintained in
the MacPhail schools, and to the
efficiency of its hundreds of graduates,
many of whom have in turn become
professional teachers in various parts
of the country The School was incor-
porated in 1907 and from it's modest
beginning has reached a development
whereby its requirements engage the
exclusive attention of a faculty of fifty
instructors. Its annual enrolment of
students is over twelve hundred, com
ing from many different parts of Amer
lea and Canada and some from across
the seas. 1t occupies the entire third,
fourth and fifth floors of the double
block building at Nos. 8O4-S06 Nicollet
Avenue with it's large auditorium, re-
ception rooms, general offices and
twenty-four light and airy studios and
class rooms.
An Excellent Corps Of Instructors.
1t has been ever the policy of the
President of the School, William Mac
Phail, to maintain teaching faculty
of the highest grade of proficiency and
fidelity. He is himself a musician of
broad attainments, and his studies,
while specialized on the violin, have
covered nearly the whole range of
musical learning. Supplementary to

School Of Expression and Dramatic
Art.
Affiliated with the MacPhail School
is the John Seaman earns School of
Expression and Dramatic Art under
the direction of Mr.. earns, which offers
courses for the training of those who
are preparing for the stage, as actors,
entertainers, readers, lecturers or pub
lie speakers of any nature, and for
teachers of literature, with depart
ment also for Children's Classes.
These courses are given by corps of
well-trained men and women teachers
and have attained great popularity.
The general public interest now taken
in pagent-plays has greatly increased
the number of students in Pantomime,
Harmonic Gymnastics, Pageantry,
Dancing and Voice Culture.
Mr.. earns collaborators in the
school are Josephine Retz-Garns, Hazel
Lolze-Whittaker, and Miss Clara Rice.
Tuition Rates.
The rates of tuition, in comparison,
will be found considerably less than
other schools. Without lowering the
standard of instruction it has been
found possible to offer students of
music and dramatic art complete
courses in all departments at low COST

a rising tendency. The most plausible
explanation of high prices and the one
that seems to have the most solid foun.
dation is embraced in the term "profi-
teering" and boarding by monopolies.
The remedy should be moral but we
fear 1t would be Intellectual. It is an
appeal to conscience but conscience in
this instance if not dead is at least
dormant
To awaken conscience seems a use-
less task. There was time when con-
science in a matter of this nature
could be appealed to and moral force
set in action that would be quick and
effectual. Writers on moral theology
tell us that taking enormous profits is
immoral If the returns of the ''profi-
teers" come under this head they are
guilty of grievous sin. Who is to tell
them so and to whom will they listen
If told? When civilization recognized
but one faith, in unity with one head,
the simple threat of Papal excom-
munication launched against those
guilty of profiteering would be more
efectual in reducing prices than bear
raid on the Board of Trade.
Hoarding of necessities beyond fru-

others suffer is in violation of the law
of charity. The Medieval legend of
Bishop Hatto shows what was public
opinion of food hoarders in the ages
of faith. The common law of England
from which our law is derived recog-
nized the teachings of the church in
this matter. There were laws which
were enforced against monopoly and
speculation of food products. In the
Middle Ages, before the Protestant re-
volt, If there were famines or food
shortages it was due to natural causes,
such as crop failures. To say that the
high cost of living is another fruit of
the boasted Reformation is not far
fetched, for we find the increase of liv-
ing costs and poverty beginning with

beth.
There is reasonable hope that public
authorities, both Federal and State,
will devise plan to relieve the peo-
pie from oppressive high prices. But
II successful appeal could be made
of the moral side of the question rather
than to the law the results would be
more effectual, better and more secure.

his early musical courses in Mime
apolis he spent four years in Europe
under the tutelage of masters like
Sevcik, Sucby, Hollander, Noren and
Loewengard. He has appeared in hun
dreds of concerts throughout the
Northwest and Canada.
Thus the supervising head of the
school sets high pace for his asso-
ciate teachers both in ability and disci-
pline.
1t would be difficult matter to
duplicate or surpass in cleverness and
capability the MacPhail corps of en-
pert musical instructors. The enthusi-
asm of their chief has imbued each
one of his associates. We take occa-
sion here to refer to but a few of them.
The master of the piano teaching
staff is Glen billiard Young, recently
engaged by the school, who has en-
joyed the best American and European
training. He is an experienced con-
ductor and concert pianist and bears
high rank in his profession. One of
his pupils, Mr.. Edwin Schneider, is
accompanist to the noted Irish tenor,
John Mccormack
Frederick W. Mueller, Associate
Director, is a graduate of the Oberlin
Couoc4 VdIO1y, duu dlSO SIuu1eu dL
Leipsic. He is an accomplished player
and a highly efficient teacher.
Hamlin Hunt, we'll known for his
musical attainments throughout the
Northwest, is now devoting his teach
ing time exclusively to the MacPhail
School.
Margaret GiImor-Ma MacPhaiI has stud
led under the best masters of the piano
in Chicago and Berlin, her special field
being accompaniment and ensemble

Madame Thelma GoIdiska comes to
the MacPhail School with the high
recommendation of DR.. Frank DAM

appeared as prima donna soprano in
many of the opera houses of the Italian
cities and in Petrograd, and has had
four years teaching experience at the
New York Institute of Musical Art
