Music Teaching Demonstrated

Miss Margaret COOKE, JSIIllOIldi
director of public school music arrived
on Maui Tuesday morning and spent
the greater part OF the day at the Wal
luku Public School inspecting the
work OF the various grades. She dem
onstrated her method of teaching
music in the different grades, inter
preting the words through the tone
light. airy, birdlike, or ripping, gurg-
ling, like the brook; again, heavy,
deep. like the rumble of distant
thunder or tender, sweet, sad and
solemn, as indicated by the words OF
the song.
In this way the pupil is learning TO
interpret not only the song, but is
giving musical expression to the feel
ing conveyed by the words. This
must benefit the pupil in his reading.
and all school work.
This method. shown so clearly by
Miss Cooke creates an interest in
school music, and pupils will not only
enjoy singing. but they will enjoy the
study of music.
Miss Cooke laid particular stress
upon rhythm, and accent. Her talk
to the teachers, was most inspiring,
and filled all with enthusiasm, and a
determination to endeavor to create
a similar feeling in their pupils, and
by so doing try to obtain better re
suits.

That night Clifford remained at

"Clifford was there cause for

Editor Morning Journal Albuquer-
que. N. NJ,
Dear sir:-Now that the heat OF
the campaign is past we are all ac-
cepting the resultsl with the most
hopeful expectations for the need7
ed improvements in our state gov
eminent. The officers elected are
pledged to make certain much
talked of changes in our statutes
and constitution, and it may sale-
ly be assumed that these pledges
will be fulfilled.
But complete success in this
campaign for Improvement is not
yet assured, and will not be until
the measures passed are proven to
be in the best possible form, ana
since, during the campaign, the
Journal paid me the compliment
of devoting editorial space to Civ
ing prominence to my suggestions
on the power the Journal might
have in arousing public sentiment
to. influence our public men to
adopt right policies, | make bold
to give some observations which
seem pertinent to me at this time.
Z l.
legislative body will give us pri-
mary law, a revision of the tax
laws, a budget system, and new
plan for the handling of the state
lands. I believe they will give us
the best they are able-under the
circumstances hardly need to
elaborate this last clause, for we all
can think of a number OF clrcum-
stances which may modify the final
result.
But herein some real construc-
tive work is urgently needed at
once which must be prosecuted
with the utmost vigor till after the
session of the legislature closes.
At this time the issues can be
looked upon dispassionately and IN
their true relations, but we lack
accurate and full information on
the subjects at issue. | wish to ask
if the Journal has the resources, or
can get them, to make a thorough
study of these subjects and present
such matter to the public as Wlli
inform us as to how various phases
of these proposed new laws WORK
in other states and how they would
work here, and through public SEN
timent thus informed influence our
legislators to avoid dangerous fea-
lures.
realize that this is a big order.
That it would require rather un-
usual talent to correlate ana al
