 TThe need of music is inherent in every child The aim of the Fletcher method therefore. is to give the child a funda' mental. systematic and logical educatios ! in music in way that is natural and , pleasurable, and thus make it possible for music to develop him physically, mem tally and artistcally," said Mrs. Simms.
 "The modern idea in education is no imitation, but self-expresson; not blind obedience but voluntary and joyful eff fort; not copying but creation. These l great twentieth century principles applied
 to music have resulted in the F1etches method. which Is:
 "Rational-because the harmony q

 Let us stop for moment and com pare these methods used by Mrs Siinms and other up-to-date teachers of music with those OF the old-fashioned teacher who taught the children to read music by counting up and saying rhymes or as spelling face, in order to remember the spaces in the treble, or repeating Every good boy does finely" to recall the lines E, G, B, D, F.
 Mrs. Simms maintains that methods like these are a waste of time and brain , energy and believes that the average teacher is too often more concerned with what her pupil says than with what he thinks and that the responsibility of the mother and teacher of today is that she for the inside workings of her child s mind.
