Gilfillan Scott announces will

lesson every week when the public
schools reopen, restricting time.
Either ! must reduce the number of
pupils or the number of lessons.
The greatest good for the greatest
number will eventually prove best.
am therefore asking all pupils, ex-
cepting those in their first half year.
to be satisfied with two lessons per
month from October first.
AS my success depends upon my
pupils success, it Is evident have no
fear OF the result:
My terms will be:
One lesson per month, $500.
Two lessons per month, $500.
Four lessons per month, $500.
PUPIL-TEAcHERS.
I have several pupils sufficiently ad-
vanced to teach beginners under my
supervision. Beginners can have a
weekly lesson for four dollars per
month, alternate lessons being given
by a pupil and myself.
To allow time for arranging the new
October schedules, early reservation is
desired. A postal card is best, or
phone 2313-W.
Lessons will be given at pupils resi-
dence or at studio, 21o West Romano
Street, Pensacola
The following letter is sufficient
endorsement OF my method:
Mrs. D. r. Read. Chairman of the
Division of Education, Florida Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs, writes from
Milton-"The question is frequently
asked as to which is the best plan in
studying the piano, two lessons a week
or one lesson.
IT would answer-'neither'
From my experience during the
past two years and four months, since
our daughter Margaret, began piano
with Professor Gilfillan Scott I can
conscientiously say she has made
greater progress, taking one lesson
every three weeks, than she made the
two years previously taking one and
two lessons q week.
THE three-week plan was an ex-
pertinent, because Of distance, but
would not consider lessons more fire.
quently than fortnightly, except for
beginners, even If 1 were more con-
veniently located.
What a pupil puts into a lesson is
what she gets out. Longer time for
practice is worth more than frequent
lessons.
''Our daughter is eleven years old.
and, since April, 1920, when she COM
menced with Professor Scott she has
had thirty-six lessons, has had fifty
five pieces of sheet music and continu-
Gus work in scales and exercises at
cost of $72, or a financial saving of
about $40 over the 1esson-a-week
plan.
But the financial gain is not the
chief gain. There has been ample
time for practice and to bring out
more than the mechanical part Of the
lesson.
1.-THE eye and the hand of the pupil,
during longer time for practice, detect
and correct their own errors.
Instead of the teachers time being
taken up in pointing out trivial mis-
takes in reading and lingering, he can
devote himself to technical instruc-
ton in Interpretation and expression
and getting at the real music itself.
What one pupil can do, another can
do, If the same method Is used.
ST wish to express my appreciation
of the work of Professor Scott and
have every confidence to believe that
in any plan which he may adopt in his
work 1t will be for the best interests of
those who study with him"

Public Opinion

10 tho Editor Of The Times
Since reading the report of traffic
men I feel that pedestrians should
have a word in self-defense lest they
walk over the automobiles and crush
the men at the wheels.
There is a. line for autos to stop
on out of danger. They often come
to the line, one to three deep, some
times over the full length. For ex-
ample, take Delaware and Washing
ton SITS. To pedestrians going east
the signal to move east is given. If no
car is across the line, they start, get
to the middle of the street and from
the east come four or five cars turn
ing north, so we stand IN the middle
of the street. Those on the east side
going west, who must wait until these
cars pass, can't obey traffic men I'M
I'll cars get out of the way. If traf-
fore crossing the line, only permitting
them to come TO the line in single file,
it would help.
When three or four persons. side
by side, start across the street, pass
one car and the traffic man whistles
and those in front start, what can
they do, being caught in the jam?
If pedestrians would move just as the
traffic man says, there would be many
more killed than are now. Many of
the pedestrians from the country
don't know anything about traffic
rules. REV. J. RANDOLPH.
