for q great many who could not sup
port themselves otherwise. The tragic
consequences of bad teaching, the
ruined careers, the false ideals, the
heartaChes and the poor musicianship
are results that unfit teachers are rare
ly conscious Of having accomplished.
II would be progressive idea to
cCmpel teachers OF all kinds of music
10 pass an examination before being
permitted to undertake musical in
struction. This would. first of all, lead
TO an agreement as to the funda-
mertal principles Of technique and do
away with the countless methods that
either lure the student from one teach
er to another, or else blind him to the
faulty read he is following Then
would come the real test of what the
aspiring teacher would do Wis a Wis
certain conditions in the pupil. A
step still further would be the giving
Of a revokable license. conditioned on
the benefits accomplished.
This may seem harsh and unjust
demands but certainly any right
minded person would welcome an at
tempt to curb the ouackery that is so
-ge a part of the teaching profession.
The unsuitability Of vast numbers by
reason of inferior education, temrera-
ment and mentality to be teachers
has caused UNFOLD grief DISCOURAGED
promising material ard turned lik-
ing for music into disgust. Nor is the
fact that one is an artist who arouSeS
salyos of applause from an enthralled
audience sufficient to guarantee an
ability to impart knowledge. and the
need of an examination to find out
celebrity'S capsbility as teacher would
also be necessary.

there would be no need to desire i'm
pr0vement in our musical life. The
constant urge for betterment would
make itself felt in every artery of the
musical body and all that would be
necessary would be to await results.
The sincerity Of most Of the teachers
cannot be Questioned. but how can
one know thai he be right? Surely

petent Judges would act as All encour-
agement besides stabilizing an industry
that is anything but that al the pres

The eyes of educational and even
legislative leaders have at last been
opened TO q consciousness Of the value
OF music as an uplifting and at the
same time anchoring force. For many
it ranks with religion as Steadying
power in moral life. and if that be
the case. how necessary to be sure that

When the proposed measure was
made known a natural cry of protest
arose from every quarter. The ird!g-

of the New Yer, Singing Teachers
Association. the American Academy Of
Teachers Of Singing and representatives
OF other organizations and the draw
ing up Of a series Of resolutions that
expressed a united front Of opposition
to the idea
1t is true that 10 more ironical
decision could have been thought out
at this time. and that by governmental
authorities who hitherto have cCcTid-
ered the '-vclopment Of music un-

financial help. IN the present crisis
it is the musician who has suffered
untold privatiCns, and without much
sympathy from the unintereSted. These
who are willing to agree that 4 trades

of livelihood has disappeared is greatly
to be pitied and helped give little

i'll at his moment. With most of
those who are entirely dependent on
teaching as a means OF support this
comes as a cruel blow and the vigor-
Gus protest OF the New York aSsocia-
tions is Understandable. During this
trying period teachers and schools have
put on bold front, displaying a goOdly
array of pupils to the public eve. Few
of those who glance at the long list
presented BY SignOr or SignOra So-and
So know that many are given free in
stTuct:on. while others pay half. or less,
OF the tuition fee asked even a year
ago. The output OF noney for tax and
license would cut deeply into the mca-
&C. receipts.
However. the enactment of such a
law might reach to the kernel OF cur
musical difficulties and do away with
much that has been a veritable ball
and chain dragging at every effort at
advancement. The supplementary idea
OF requiring q license il order to teach
,Iand therefore to be taxed is the real
cause of the bcll!gerent attitude of the
various teachers associations. And
ihe granting of a license. which pre-
sumablv would follow some sort Of cX
animation as to the applicants fitness
for teaching. puts finger on the Sorest
spot of our musical body.
The profession OF teaching music is
one Of the easiest fer any newcomer
to enter and one in which there is no
supervision and no ethical rules. A
few years of music study. a diploma
awarded by a conservatory that must
make a showing by turning out diplo-
matized graduates. and anohe music
teacher is born In the vocal section it
is still worse. and the quick springing to
arms Of the two singing teachers as
sociations Of New York is extremely
significant. It is only necessary to
hear the products Of various singing
teachers TO realize the chaotic condl-
tons that exist in that department.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-(P)-S Sharp gains

companied unfavorable crop reports
from Argentina and Australia, with
big export business in Canadian
wheat, 5000, 900 bushels.
News Of frost In Argentina was
confirmed and fears were expressed
that serious harm had been done to
|the wheat crop.
Wheat closed strong, l4s-2ts cents

85h, May 87%-s: corn LIN up, Dec.
42S-7s, May $3.50: oats lh-l%
advanced, and provisions unchanged
to 10 cents off.
Although reactions at times carried
wheat back about IN cents from early
top figures, the market showed power
to rally. Downturns were attributed
more to profit taking sales and to let
ups In speculative demand than to
any aggressive selling.
Helping to promote wheat price raj
lies were rumors Of frosts In Argen-
tina. Indications Of liberal export
business In Canadian wheat tended
also to aid price upturns, together
with the fact that the Liverpool wheat
market failed to follow Wednesdays
break In wheat values here. Corn and
oats were strengthened BY large ship
ments Of corn out Of Chicago Thurs
day.
Provisions were easy. owing to
weakness Of hog value.
