Mrs. F. A. Soldering Forecasts
Rosy Future for Profession
in America.

America will in a few years be the
music center of the world, according
to- Mrs. Frank A Soldering, of the
National Federation Of Music Clubs
which met in New York recently.
"And by that I do not mean" she
said, "the great cities like New York
which already provides each session
a list of artists unrivaled in the
| world today. I mean that the great
masses of the people, even in the
rural districts, are rapidly becoming
interested in serious music and are
teaching their children to love it, sc
that think one is justified in saying
that our country Is by way Of be.
coming the music center of the
world.
1T is true that this will come
about largely as result of conscious
education, and of deliberate effort
on the part Of the people to acquire
knowledge and appreciation of the
best there is in the field Of music.
We have not the background and
traditions that have in Europe fos.
tered for centuries love for all the
arts. But this will not prevent us
from acquiring a very real and very
appreciative knowledge of music, ii
only the means and incentive are
present.
ut is to provide this incentive to
the study of music among the people
at large that the National Fedora
ton has decided upon a four-year
course Of study which it is Offering
this year for the first time. The
course has been planned by William
Arms Fisher and written by four OF
the greatest authorities In the
American music world of the day,
Karl w. Gehrkens, of the Oberlin
Conservatory of Music; Daniel Greg.
DRY Mason, Edgar Stillman Kelly
and Clarence G.. Hamilton. The
course is not designed to offer prac.
teal training in voice or instrument,
but rather a broad education In the
fundamentals of music, in the
various forms of musical compo.
sition, historical development. and
the instruments.
I'm addition to this course Of study
intended for our members" Mrs.
Seiberling continued, 1--WE shall con.
tinue to cooperate with the schools
in fostering a love and appreciation
OF music among the children. The
results so far have been most graft.
Tying. We have held music mem.
ory tests in many schools
throughout the country, when prizes
have been given for the best show
ing in the recognition of isolated
bars Of a number Of standard
! musical compositions. selected from
the many with, which the students
had previously been made familiar
| In this work we use talking-machine
records, player-piano, school orches
tras, or, in some OF the larger cities
large professional organizations
Only music of the highest character
is taught in this way, and the inter
est and proficiency shown by the
children proves that there is an
inherent love for the best music in
a large majority Of them"

very large. Dupre memorized these
photographs on the steamer. and
two days after landing a Sflis coun.
try announced he was ready to
play.
The musical critics of New York
and Philadelphia commented upon
his uncanny knowledge of these in
struments after so short an ac-
quaintance, saying: Zone can with

bilities of such an instrument di.

ICELAND FARMER FOND
OF EXCELLENT MUSIC

The people of Iceland are so fond
Of music that pianos are found on
farms far removed from towns and
villages, according to Svein Svein.
bjornsson, Iceland's most famous
composer. In a recent interview,
Mr.. Sveinbjornsson said:
"Icelanders are naturally gifted
musically. They have good voices.
and a very good ear for music.
Moreover, they are passionately
fond of good music. l have gone
into the remotest parts of Iceland
to give concerts and have found
that the isolated farms, many of
them, have pianos. Sometimes
they have had to remove doors or
windows to get the pianos into
the houses.
These farmers. and the fisher.
men, will send for musical artists
to come and give a concert as the
greatest possible pleasure they
could have. They appreciate the
finest musicians and are familiar
with the great composers of other
countries"

INTERESTING ACCOUNT
OF BELLS IN HISTORY

That musical bells reach back to
the mists Of antiquity is pointed out
by London Ideas, which SAYS:
Man made bells before he learned
to write. These first bells were yes
sells Of clay, which gave off pleas
ing resonance when struck.
Aboriginal people used bells as
ornaments. Moses, Isaiah and the
prophet Zachariah mention the use
OF, bells as anklets on the feet of
women, as yokes for horses and in
temples.
1.-The Greeks decked their tri-
mphal chariots with bells. The
Romans used them to call the citi-
gems to temple and forum. PAUL.
nus Of Nola, an italian bishop, first
used bells in Christian worship.
About 400 A. D., shortly after
the time of Paulinus, church towers
became general in Europe. Two
hundred years later a Papal bull
specified that every church should
have a bell.
THE curfew bell. the angelus bell
and the passing bell are part OF bell
practice and tradition. The ringing
bells ushered in the French Revo-
luton. The great bell of st. Marks,
Venice, and others equally famous,
were alarums."

TORONTO. MUSIC FETE
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

Granville Bantock, one Of the adj.
INDICATORS brought out from Eng.
land especially for the Canadian
festivals this year, stated that the
first festival held at Toronto was
the best initial festival he had ever
attended.
If public attendance was any.
thing to go by, the festival was far
from a success But. Fortunately,
the true measure Of success Is not
gauged by public attendance; 1t is
judged by the number Of entrants,
and also by the calibre Of the work
And In, these respects almost every.
one In Toronto agreed that the festi-
val was highly successful and that
a good foundhAon for the futu1 q
festivals was laid.

On the screen he is only seen in The water five times, but in order to get these scenes with all their realistic detail 1t was necessary for him to undergo the other immersions.
