w on can awaken your child's
sense and appreciation Of
music step by step and
thus add something Of great
worth to his permanent pleasure.
Musical appreciation is a mere
dormant quality in case of many
children. Unless 1t be awakened
by conscious effort it may lie IA.
active for the entire lifetime.
Rhythm is the first step in mu-
steal appreciation. It is a. felt
quality and fits the mentality of
the little child or the savage
adult.
Melody is the second step in
appreciation. It is typical of
youth and the barbarous age OF
adults. The negro race surpasses
all in melody.
Harmony is the highest stage
OF music, the stage of the adult,
refined Interpretation. Compar-
atively few ever get into this
, high degree Of refinement simply
because they are never led con.
sciously into it.
The photograph is an ideal in
strument for teaching musical
appreciation, and careful repeti-
ton is the first simple rule of
method.
Play the rhythmic pieces over
and over In the presence of your
little one. Teach him to call
these selections by name and
watch his behavior till you detect
him IN the act Of swaying to the
cadence thereof. Then you may
be assured that he is getting the
meaning OF rhythm.
Now introduce the simple mel
ody, carefully teaching your child
to recognize certain selections by
name. Keep these before him
by frequent repetition and guide
. his responses till he begins to
show disposition to beat the
time with his hand or some OBJ
ject. Thus you may be assured
that he is attending to the mel
ody of the music.
Finally introduce harmony
through the repeated use of a
few well-known classics. Go slow
ly and repeat often. Too much
variety here means confusion
and perhaps revulsion.
Classical music must be pre-
sented to the young learner pre-
cisely as you would present a
new personal acquaintance that

Majority of House immigration
Board Favor Rigid
Restriction.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
After consideration of many bills
designed to tighten or liberalize the
immigration laws the House commit
tee on immigration is about to report
a bill which will carry the recon-
mendations Of the committee. Among
the various bills before the commit
tee is one denying admission to the
United States Of personssnot eligible
to citizenship under the recent Su-
preme Court decision. This BILL If
enacted into law, would bar jap
anese, among others.
Another bill in the hands OF the
committee would reduce the immi-
grafton quotas of all nations from
the present figure of 8 per cent Of
those here, based on the census of
1910. to per cent, based on the
census of 1890. The effect Of this
provision. it was said by its sponsors,
would be to increase the percentage
of immigration from northern Europe.
A proposal also is before the COM
mittee that immediate relatives of
; naturalizezl citizens be admitted ex-
elusive OF the quotas. ana IHdl foo
persons from each country be per-
mitted to enter before the quota
restriction is applied.
Chairman. Johnson has bill pend
ing to permit near east countries
to use up their next year quotas

find haven in the United States
Pleas for liberalization of the law
to permit entry of industry and farm
labor have been heard by the COM
mittee, but a majority of the men,
bers are said to be opposed to any
