charter The forms OF city govern
ment are next taken up. He shows
the merits and the defects of the
federal type of government and the
commission and commission-man-
ager type. No system in itself can
be a panacea. He concludes his
book with the problems which touch
the average individual most. He
shows the nature of the school prob
lem and the outlook as TO the future
cost Of city government.
The problem of city government
may be boiled down into the proverh
NO man can serve two masters" !"
Mr.. Capes shows that most ineffi-
cheney in government springs from
a divided allegiance The election of
aldermen by wards makes each
alderman seek the welfare of his
district above that of the city as a
whole. The drawing of party lines
in municipal elections causes officials
to work for a party rather than the
community. Authority should not
be too much subdivided.
Mr.. Capes says: The formula for
good city government is much sim
pier than most of us have believed
il to be-and it is not secret Our
method of approach has been wrong.
We have been trying to make gov
ernment good by law rather than
through men. No matter how many
short cuts we may seek and devise
in its final analysis the basis of good
government is enlightened and alert
citizenship. II is, therefore, vitally
important for the citizen to know
and TO be kept informed about COM
munity needs and official acts

ing. The American is fond of gov
ernmental experiment. Nearly every
device has been tried out, and it was
important to have some clearing
house for information. In 1915 the
New York State conference OF
Mayors and other city officials estab-
lished the New York State Bureau
of Municipal Information. This or
ganization is absolutely non partisan
and is supported by the cities Of New
York State. 1t has AZ its command
the means of collecting information
on municipal problems more thor
oughly, quickly and economically
than any single city could do SO.
This bureau has now fully proved
its usefulness. There is no more
reason for each city having its own
isolated bureau of research than
there is for every factory to MAIN
tain its own laboratory for expert
ments.
Mr.. Capes is the secretary of the
New York State Conference of
Mayors and Other City officials and
the director of the New York State
Bureau of Municipal Research. He
is the coauthor of Municipal
Housecleaning." With this back
ground he is obviously preeminently
fitted to write about the city, and
his book is equal to his unusual
opportunity for studying the facts.
His first chapters deal with the
general topics of making citizenship
efficient and making municipal of
ficials efficient. His next chapters
discuss the electorate. Changes in
the method of voting have attracted
much attention. Mr.. Capes con-
denses the results of these expert

THE MODERN CITY AND ITS Gov
ERNMENT. BY William Parr Capes.
T.. r. Dutton & CO.
HVILIZATION is increasing the
\ proportion of city dwellers all
over the world. This is espe-
cially true in the United States,
where the city lures a native rustic
population and a vast horde of i'm
migrants. The problems of city gov
ernment are becoming more COM
plex. They are also relatively more
important As Mr.. Capes says:
"Complexity of urban life, resulting
from the development Of industry.
has forced upon us the need Of
serious thought relative TO civic
efficiency. Twenty years ago the
average municipality had little need
TO trouble itself about housing con-
ditions, because there was no gen.
eral congestion or indication of such
condition; about public recreation,
because then the laws and customs
did not grant as much leisure TO the
people as they now do; about city
planning, because then urban growth
was not so rapid, and the conditions
were not so complex as they now
are; about the regulation of traffic,
because the automobile was at that
time not so generally used for pleas
ure and business as ii now is-and
so or through the whole list of i'm
portant municipal activities. Evils
resulting from municipal conditions
either were not then apparent or
did not exist; therefore the effects
either were not appreciated or could
not be foreseen."
Obviously the first step in improv-
ing municipal government is TO find
out what other cities are accomplish

goodly native syncopations Of Irving
Berlin.
Yet it is a dignified and complete
manual he has made In it he does
quite all he first intended. He raises
a popular pastime to the level of a
thrice difficult art, though from
the very beginning he is frank to
say: Certain of the more subtle
refinements of musical performance
remain outside of the Art of the
Player; but in the main everything
is possible that is necessary in an
intelligent, personal, and complete
performance" A fair statement, in
deed. this is a modest one.
When ]. L. Porte writes life and
critique of Sir Charles Stanford it
the title page put under the English
composers name all his scholastic
titles and degrees. II is equally sig
nificant that Mr. Porte is listed as
having written already similar vol
ume on Sir Edward Elgar. For here
you have proof of that sober earnest
ness with which Englishmen propose
and protect their musicians laureate.
Bantock. Holbrookc, Cyril Scott,
Vaughan Williams, even the new
coming Hoist, have already been
honored by biographies and cxplana-
tions of their musical creeds. DR..
Eaglefield Hull. an avid Oxonian,
goes into serial ecstasies over the
latest English symphonists. Shaw
himself writes essays on Elgar. 1t
is after all the only way TO gain
decent recognition for new musical
sounds in this world of noise and
newsprint.
This particular volume on Charles
villiers Stanford is large papered
and elaborate in its description of
the more than two hundred works
by the septuagenarian composer.
Each opus number is praised or de-
Tended with nice moderation Opus
I'D, for instance. is put down as
fairly interesting and tuneful violin
pieces, but with nothing about them
that calls for attention" The opera
Much Ado About Nothing" is
"charmingly done and contains some
very tuneful music. Otherwise there
are no very outstanding features to
remark upon.'
Sir Charles has written many
sorts of works for many sorts OF
vehicles. from military marches TO
pianoforte preludes, choral drges
and comic and grand operas. This
biography catalogues them all with
the same faint praise. But on the
strength of the Irish Symphony"
sometimes played here, and his
scarcely known operas. it claims the
right to call him oftentimes a genius.
Rupert Hughes was never so rash as
that in his book of American music
and musicians. Perhaps. if he had
been. we should now have twice as
many excellent American compost
tions on our concert programs.

III player piano of grand size
and glorious polish, to-
sethfr with two dozen hilariously
selected rolls, one cannot become
virtuoso overnight. Mr.. Sydney
Grew finds that 1T takes about three
years TO make good player pianist
OF man or woman of average
musical intelligence" He evidently
feels that a systematic course is nee
essary, for he calls his manual "a
textbook for student and teacher"
and spends 333 pages in developing
some most microscopic dicta for
metrical finesse.
There is nothing in all this TO con-
fute the promises of immediate pleas
ure made by the manufacturers of
player pianos or to chill the ardor
OF any one who aspires. and aspi: es
in haste, TO readymade repertory.
But it is true that the player piano
has outlived tomfoolery and profes-
sional contempt. has risen out of
jaZZery to become one of the big
musical influences of our times.
Mechanical or reproducing pianos
make up an amazingly large frac-
tion of the musical Instruments put

calls the ''playerist'' and his self

and works back to the more minute

strumentalists have TO move from
the small to the great" The premise
Of Mr.. Crews whole scheme is that
the art of the player piano lies in
the pedaling and in the use OF tempo
controlling levers or buttons. The
printed directions which accompany
every player piano repeat this AK
iom, to be sure, but they do not carry
it on one-tenth as thoroughly.

prodigious number of examples in

AS there was no recommendation Of
mercy in the finding Holt, under the
