can read music quite fiuently; Mr.. Men,
uhin does not know one note from an
other.
Interested in music, the young couple
wanted to attend the symphony concerts
in San Francisco given by Alfred Hertz,
conductor, with Louis Persinger. concert
meister, every week. They were quite
poor and could find no friend with
whom to leave Yehudi while they went.
An Acquaintance offered to take care OF
him for 81, but the parents were too
poor to spare that dollar. Mother
Marutha decided to prepare a large
bottle of milk and they would risk TAX
ing Yehudi with them. The plan was,
according to Mr.. Menuhin, Ito pop the
bottle into Yehudi's mouth the minute
he began to cry" Then. OF course" ne
added, ''if we found him too restless, 1t
would mean that we would have to give
up attending the concerts for perhaps
another year"
However, the minute the first note
sounded from the orchestra. 1-year-old
Yehudi listened as though he knew
what it was all about. Not murmur
was heard from him during the entire
concert. The child's behavior being so
excellent, the parents took him with
them the next week and every week
there was a concert Yehudi attended.
In time, the baby became as much
part of the symphony concert to the
Audience around him as the conductor
himself.
When Yehudi was two and half he
showed special interest in the violins
and growing interest in Mr.. Persinger,
the concert meister, personally. Yehudi
leased for a violin and his parents.
thinking 1t Just childish whin, bought
him toy.
"You should have seen how mad he
was when he found he could make no
sound on it." laughed Mr.. Menuhin.
When Yehudi was about 4 and still
stubbornly teasing for a violin, his
grandmother bought him one. A fiddler
friend of the MenuhinS began giving
him lessons. Within a few weeks the
child covered several months study. He
kept insisting that he wanted to study
with Mr.. Persinger At last the famous
violinist heard the child play and
agreed to teach him.
yehudi's father has received invita-
lions from royalty to present his son IN
concerts before them. But they Will
have to wait, says Mr.. Menuhin. Ten
months Of the year Yehudi shall con-
tinue for several years to come, being at
home leading normal child's life. Only
two months will be given to public ap-
pearances, and then only because such
appearances are necessary to Yehudi's
growth as an artist He already speaks
French fluently and well.
There are two other talented little
Menuhins in the home in San Francisco,

her concert debut in that city as a

FIGHT REVIVED
FOR CHURCHES
ON WAR PLAZA
Bible Class Makes Plea
That BuiIings Stay
Near Memorial.
CITES MORAL BEAUTY
Claims of Living Should
Preeede Those of Dead,
Expression States.

An expression by the Rev. William
Carson, retired Presbyterian min
lister, indorsed by his Sunday school
class, the Beecher Bible class of the
Second Presbyterian church, oppoS-
ing removal of that church and the
First Baptist church from the War
Memorial plaza, was made public to-
day by Mrs. Martha w. Kendall,
secretary of the class.
No move to settle the question of
whether the two historic churches
shall be moved has been made by
authorities for many months.
The two churches stand at the
corners Of the memorial shrine.
Memorial commission officials have
declared the plaza can not be COM
pleted until the churches are re-
moved
The county commissioners, who
purchased the rest of the property
in the block with the churches, upon
which the shrine stands, several
months ago declared that they
would spend no more money on the
plaza. Since then they have refused
to comment.
Morally Beautiful
The expression of Beecher Bible
Glass (named after Henry Ward
Beecher, famous preacher once
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church,, cites the churches as two
of the most morally beautiful"
spots in the city and declares:
"Is it not more in harmony with
the principles of honor, rectitude
and personal regard to care for the
living soldier rather than to make
a great ado over the one that is
dead?
Is it not better, far better, for
these churches to go right on in
building up moral sentiment, mold
ing character and doing much in
shaping final destiny than spending
millions of dollars in erecting costly
monuments for those boys who have
finished their course and sleep under
the sod?
Both are right and comely in
their proper season, but the welfare
Of the living soldiers should by all
means have the preference. The
ground where these churches stand,
and where they have labored so long
and so we'll. is sacred and ought not
to be disturbed.
Spiritually Dead
Have we become so spiritually
dead, so lost to every sense Of right
and wrong as to see these build
ings torn down without a tear, a
sigh or a regret? May a kind provi-
dence save us from such a lament
able result.
Can not some means be devised
to put the church buildings in full
accord with all the approaches, so
as not to mar or destroy in any de-
gree the beauty, the symmetry and
the glory of the plaza?"
The expression closes with the
suggestion that row of statues of
Henry Ward Beecher and other
heroes of peace times be lined across
the block Of Vermont street which
the two churches face.
