Hindu Music Heard
at WOmen's City Club

THE ARTS and Ideals Of India"
were told of in a lecture
given by Das Gupla at the
Women's City Club recently that
included a program of Hindu
music Of great novelty and in
terest 1t was accompanied on
the veena, or vina. a very ancient
instrument contemporary with
the Tyre Of the Assyrians and
with the syrinx Of the Hebrews,
which are Of the dead past
The veena is today a part Of
the musical life of the Temple
services on certain occasions.
Hindu music has a most intri-
cate pattern. The rhythm, too,
is both complicated and daring.
When other ancient races were
building upon the Pentatonic or
five-tone scale. there was in con-
slant use among the Hindus from
thirty-siI to seventy-two scales Of
great compass and variety.
The Hungarian Gypsy, who has
given such color and bizarre
charm to the Magyar life. EN-.
ploys in their traditional music
and dances rhythm so similar
in its daring to that Of the old
Hindu music that investigators
have been led to trace the origin
Of the Hungarian gypsy to the
pariah class Of India
In listening to this new, though
ancient music. the point Of re-
semblance between the East and
the West is historically as well
as artistically interesting.

Continued from mage one)

year course instead of two as for
merly, the standard of training is
materially raised and the training
at MT. Sinai will prove d valuable
addition to the course.
Nurses will not be accepted at
Mt. Sinai until they have complet-
ed at least Is months training.
Miss Ketchen plans to send her
practitioners in relays of three and
at the completion of 10 months
training. The first three months
will be spent in medical training,
two months in the dispensary,
that is the outdoor clinic which
has an average daily attendance
of 1000 and the last month will
be devoted to the special study of
diet and disease. Brightlook
nurses go there in the uniform of
the local hospital and their ex-
penses to and from New York are
paid by Brightlook, Mt. Sinai
supplying the text books and o.
course providing all living expen-
seS while on duty there.
The training staff at Mt. Sinai
is made up largely of Columbia
graduates and the hospital with
its more than 800 beds is one of
the best equipped institutions of
the kind. When work which is in
progress now is completed there
will be accommodations for GOO
beds.

been with the institution since
April 1921. She is Canadian train
ed nurse and a born executive, a
graduate of the Montreal General
hospital and of the Montreal Ma

Growth and progress at Bright
