MUS|CSTUDY. TASK
MADE WORK OF Joy
N. Y. Woman's Theory Of Play
ing by Ear Encourages
Young Pupils.

This is an age Of exceptional prog
ress for children along musical lines.
and one of the most interesting and
successful methods Of modern days
Is that originated by New York
woman, Mrs Salts n. Coleman.
Herself an American mother, Mrs
Coleman determined that the prin-
ciples employed in her own early
musical education which had made
lessons so distasteful-the exactions
of playing by note-should be elimi-
mated from those OF her children and
any others she might benefit.
Considerable thought was neces-
sary to devise practical system for
making music interesting to the
childish mind, but at length a fasci-
mating scheme was worked out by
which the drudgery of musical learn
ing was done away with, and only the
joy of giving personal expression to
the natural music that is in every
child remained.
Mrs. Coleman created quite a sensa.
ton with her theories that playing
by ear was to be encouraged for
youthful musicians, also the fashion
ing of handmade instrume such
as the flute, the African marimba
(similar to the xylophone). a set Of
melodious bells on water glasses, and
even fiddle made out of a cigar box.
1t is not her idea to train children
to become soloists on any of these
primitive instruments, simply to sup
ply them with the medium through
which they can give vent to their in
nate musical inclination. Ensemble
playing with natural harmony and
indebtedness on these simple but
serviceable instruments.
That Mrs. Coleman's method Is be-
ing seriously considered by musical
authorities is evidenced by the an
nouncement that II is being given ad-
vantage for development in a private
studio, and also in a demonstration
school conducted by Teachers College
at Columbia University.

TEN STAR CONCERTS.
TO BRING CULP HERE.
Anna Case Will Also Return.
Three Symphony 0rchestras
On Smith List.

This year T. Arthur Smith presents
twelve artists in his Ten Star Con-
oerts. tho joint recitals being, s,ven
by newcomers whose names are bet.
ter known in Europe than in this
country. These are Birgit Ensell.
Danish soprano, who comes through
the advice of that delightful sons-re-
citalist. Julia Culp: Laurence Leon
ard an English baritone; Josef Sto-
pax, who 10 claiming honors with tho
long list of virtuoso violintsts ana Is
a pupil OF Jacques Thibaud; and Co
cile de Horvath, pianist. who mas
toured this country with the Philadel-
phia Orchestra and the New YORK
symphony Society.
Anna Case returns, the dainty
American who brings charm with her
singing. Then there is Margaret Mat
genauer, the rich voiced contralto. ana
Nina Tarasova, who Is apart from the
recitalist in that she combines with IL
such vivid Characterization.
With the great Ysaye; the brilliant
French pianist, Alfred Cortot; olga
Samaroff, whose return to profess
sional life was signaled by a concert
given with the orchestra OF Philadel-
phia, of which her husband, Leopold
Stokowski. is conductor; Pablo Casals,
the greatest of cellists. and Thelma
Given. violinist, this list OF artists
shows the standard to which these
concerts are held.
THE ORCHEsTRAs IN LIST.
The famous Philadelphia Orchestra.
with it's equally gifted conductor, Leo
pld Stokowski. will be heard in rive
concerts on Tuesday afternoons. the
soloists yet to be announced. With
nf tho NaW York
symphony Society. under Walter
Damrosch, which this year will be
given at the National Theater. Mr..
Smith announces as soloists Fritz
Kreisler, Rachmaninoff, and Frieda
Hempel, with one other artist.
To find the gifted violinist Eugen
Ysaye, in the role of orchestral con-
ductor will be novelty when the
Cincinnati Orchestra gives its single
concert here in February. One other
famous soloist, Gabrilowitsch, who
had won the heights as pianist, has
been lured to the conductors baton
and is directing with signal success
the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. But
that is among the few orchestras not
listed for Washington this year, so in
its stead we will find how the deep
souled soloist. Ysaye, reads his inter-
pretations into the ensemble OF
large orchestra.
THE SINGERS.
In addition, the extra concerts an
nounced under Mr.. Smiths direction
are headed by the great Schumann-
Heink. Friedia Hempel, who comes
November 10. has just added to her
fame by being cast for the role Of
Jenny Lind in the centennial celebra-
ton of the Swedish Nightingale to
be given at Carnegia Hall, New York.

Burke, Irish tenor, the promise for

tion that eventually resulted in Mr..
Adler.s assuming the managership of
the young Russian violinist. Mr.. Ad-
Ter recognized the boys great talent
after single hearing. and decided to
launch him as concert artist in
North America. All of which ex-
plains the fact that Mischa is to give
his first Carnegie Hall recital on Oc-
tober under the management of
Benjamin Adler and that he is to have
as his accompanist Mr.. Adler's
brother, Josef.
While Fate may be said to have
been instrumental in Mr.. Adler's dis
covery" of the young violinist. 1t is
equally true that Mischa had blaZed
his own trail from the time that he
began to study at the age of six with
his father in his native city, Odessa.
Mischa Niolin-the coincidence of the
boys name and profession may be
another of Fate's caprices-played a
concert in Odessa at the age Of seven,
and attracted the notice of Alexander
Fiedmann, the Berlin pedagogue, who
sent for him later and accepted him
as a pupil in the Stern Conservatory.
There his talent was commented upon
by Adolf Brodsky, Gustav Hollonder,
Artur Nikisch. Godowsky, Safonoff,
Leopold Schmitt, Oscar Bic, and other
celebrities. At thirteen he graduated
with the highest honors, receiving
the gold medal.
On Sept. 20, 1913-the boy was
twelve years old at the time--we find
him giving a concert in Berlin with
the Philharmonic Orchestra and play
ing the Tschaikowsky Concorto, the
Spohr No. and the Symphonic
Espagnole. The following year found
him on the books of the Wolff Bureau
in Germany. and with the Vert Con-
cert Agency in England. In jun.
1914, he played at a charity concert
in Marlborough Hall. London. and at
Buckingham Palace. He gave two
recitals in London, and fulfilled a
number of engagements in Belfast,
Dublin and Glasgow.

n. Y. STATE ADOPTS
MUSIC STANDARD

With the creation OF the office OF
specialist in music in it's Education
Department at Albany, New York
State has just taken an important
step toward the Standardization of
the courses In music in its public
schools and toward granting this
study a more prominent place in the
Curriculum. The new appointee is
Mr.. Russell Carter, for eight years
supervisor OF music in the public
schools of Ammsterdam. New York,
and more recently professor In the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Mr.. Russells chief duties will be to
set standards which are to be main
tanned in the schools. and to pass on
the claims OF schools for credits in
music by actual inspection OF the
work done. The work will be vir-
tually that OF general supervisor
and will involve the preparation OF
regents examination questions, the
reviewing of all examination papers,
lecturing on methods OF teaching, and
helping individual schools to plan
work
whereas each school heretofore
has been following the music course
prescribed by it's individual school
board. 1t will now have to conform
to the standards set up by the new
department II II hopes to ofrer its
pupils a course for which full credit
may be secured. The New York City
schools are not affected, however, as
they are separately administered

rection OF Mr.. George II. Gartlan,

ready been appointed in Pennsylvania

- KEEP CHECK ON PRICE
Meats Distributed BY Government 20
Be Sold Through Retailers

According to statement issued by
State Fair Price Commissioner Ed T.
Hackney, the supply Of meats which
the government recently announced
IL to be distributed at low prices, is
to be sold through retailers, and not
direct to the consumer. Mr.. Hack
ney has sent letters to county chair
men Of fair price committees asking
them to see that retailers do not
charge excessive profits on the goods
thus distributed by the government.
He gives list Of prices at which
the surplus meats are being distribut-
ed. They include: 1-pound corn
beef, % cents; 9 pound cans $1.4O:
bacon, 2 pound cans $2.47; in 100
pound crates, 10 cents; roast beef,
pound can Is cents, 2 pounds 80
cents, 9 pounds 90 cents; corned beef
hash, pound can % cents; pounds
3S cents.
The fair price commissioner sug-
gests that consumers keep the prices
in mind when they purchase these
goods, thus enabling them to esti-
mate the retailers profit.
