The reason for this pause of the
moment Is the realization of the vast
distance that separates the student
from the finished artist and the
thought of the musical future. Why
are SO many studying music and
what do they intend to do with it?
What are the prospects Of making
living at music and what are the pub
lies demands in the way of musical
entertainments What effect will the
changing valu96 of musical apprecia-
ton have on the work of these young
serious minded students. On which
of the component parts of musical
season. the performer or the auditor,
will rest the direction of musical
taste?
The last 10 years have brought
enormous changes in the entire man
ner of considering music and these
changes have not served to simplify
either the ordinary question of earn
ing a living by music or winning the
coveted place as recognized artist.
Many years ago it was sufficient to
possess talent for accomplishing either
of these two ends; little later money
was the all-powerful key to open the
door to fame, irrespective of degree of
talent; but today talent is so universal
as to be no longer astounding, and
money has become scarce. So what
way remains for the music students
to make use of their knowledge after
they have left the shelter of their
teachers studio?
It Is not necessary to reiterate the
great advantage of the study of music,
whatever may be the objective. The
more music students there are, no
matter how amateurish may be their
temperament, the quicker and surer
will be the growth of music, the love
and desire for it and eventually the
better appreciation of it. While the
ideal condition would be that in which
every pupil was developed to the
highest point by competent and
serious teacher, still, being compelled
to consider humanity as it is, one
must recognize that not many would
survive the strenuous drilling such
course would require and the ranks
of music lovers diminished through
encouragement or disgust. After all,
music in any form or any degree can
not help but be beneficial.
But there are others, stirred by wise
or unwise ambitions, fine talents, that
deserve a place in the public eye, or
still others who plan to keep life in
their bodies by following the profession
of music. It is for these especially
that one views the future with pes
simism, and doubly so, for the existing
conditions are of our own making.
First of all; there Is that unSportsman-
like and apparently general desire to
have music for nothing Rarely can
q local artist say with truth that he
Is paid for his appearances, and many
years must pass before a music teacher
feels the ground firm enough beneath
his feet that he can say, Take it or
leave It," as regards the price OF his
Lessons. It would be kindness to
say to these finishing students: You
will be asked continuously to donate
your services, to sing and play for
nothing, with the tempting bait held
Evening star., 1934-05-27

before your eyes that you will receive
publicity. Always there will be the
hope that, as soon as you are recog-
nized artists, you can demand to be
paid, but that day will never come
because the public has not been edu-
Gated to believe that musicians should
be adequately recompensed. This
same public, however, will be willing
to pay exhorbitant prices for artists
whose names inspire curiosity to hear
them"
Since the local public of each COM
munity is so loath to assist their
rising artists by paying even a small
sum Tor their services, there remains
no other course than to try to be on
the list of some established manager.
The requirements are lump sum
paid Immediately to cover the cost of
advertisement, an expensive recital
and constant minor outlays that
eventually mount to a large total
This Is only the beginning for the
winning of fame and it is a costly
procedure. The habit of radio stations
to present program after program with
the gratis services of good artists
and they must be good to gain a radio
following-while dispensing thousands
Tor one appearance of famous artist,
who does not need the money, is but
complicating the situation still further.
There also is the change of attitude
toward the type of concerts an audi
ence wishes to hear. Formerly
straight recital beginning with a
classic kvr
de resistance and ending with num-
bers that carry a popular appeal was
the prescribed formula. Today, au-
diences demand variety and novelty
and prefer two or more artists on a
program rather than being called upon
to pass judgment on a performers
qualifications throughout a routined
program. How will this affect the
musical development of these students
who have need of practice in passing
from the mood of one type of COM
position to another, as we'll as in learn
ing how to hold and increase the in
terest of an audience through long
program?
The women's clubs, the music clubs
and other organizations could do
IiClPulS IIiC yOuIlS dIL-
lists on their careers by paying some
thing each time they are asked to
perform. More opportunities could
be created for talent to have the best
hearing without enormous financial
outlay. Music lovers should demand
an educational concert series each
year, when the works of the old mas
tiers could be progressively presented,
both for the benefit of the student
and the aspiring artist, while the en-
bryo artist should wait to present
modern or novel compositions until
I. he is sure of his ability to interpret
! the classics.
There still Is much planning needed
for helping music students to further
accomplishment after they are suf-
ficientIy advanced to warrant it and
the duty lies at the door Of each COM
munity. Why could not the music
lovers of this city band together to
think out ways and means and super
wise the future careers Of worthwhile
talent?

AS q result, wheat increased five

cents a bushel for the Argentine

Thus the world surplus may be re-

Back to Grass

One Of the first men to advocate
back to grass" program for the
northwest was Or. ]. H. Shepperd,
for years one OF the nations out
standing livestock experts and now
president Of the state agricultural
college.
For many years, however, his was
q voice crying in the wilderness rep
resented by dreams of bonanza wheat
and the hope Of making an agricul-
tural killing. To return plowed acres
to grass and forage crops seemed
silly when wheat yields were good
and prices were favorable.
In recent years, however, with
wheat yields falling off, prices poor
and drouth taking a heavy annual
toll, the wisdom OF this advice is en-
phasized.
Now the federal government has
taken up the idea and at the Fargo
state fair has an exhibit emphasize
Ing the importance of adequate pas
ture In connection with reducing the
acreage Of harvested crops. The story
which began in North Dakota, and
which was ignored here at the time
when 1t would have done the most
good, now is being carried to the en-
tire nation as a result OF grim neces-
sity.
The lesson is one, once we learn 1t,
which should never be ignored. II
treated properly this region has WON
derful possibilities. One Of them is
that 1t can become one Of the finest
beef and dairy producing areas in
the world once we see the logic OF
going back to grass.

BRASS SPECIALIST INADVER.
TENTLY APPROVES MODERN
METHOD

In connection with the most prac-
teal and instructive book on the In
lection Treatment OF Hemorrhoids"
the author describes the case OF
patient who had been bleeding for
months and had become so anemic
she was unable to work. The doctor
injected the hemorrhoid (pile). q pain
less office treatment, and instructed
the patient to report In a week. When
she returned she had not lost drop
OF blood nor had the piles troubled.
The injected pile had disappeared.
In all, four injections were given in
Is many weeks. At this juncture the
patient was notified that hospital
bed, for which she had applied sew
eral weeks before, was now available.
She went to the hospital, was exam
ined by the brass surgeon In charge,
and dismissed with note from tn.
brass surgeon saying that the dag
nosis Of hemorrhoids had been wrong
as the patient had no hemorrhids at
all! Too bad the brass surgeon was
not apprised of the fact that the pa
tient had received the injection treat
ment.
In my lexicon q brass specialist Is
any physician surgeon who holds him
self out to the public as one more
skilled In one or more lines than or
binary physician-surgeons are. What
stamps him as . quack is the fact
that he completes with the family
physician-surgeon for the patronage
of the public. The true specialist.
on the other hand, Is recognized and
respected by the family physician
surgeon who calls him In consultation
or refers patients to him for the bene-
TT of his special training, greater
knowledge or wider experience in his
particular field.
In all cases Of piles (hemorrhoids)
except thrombotic (clotted) external
piles, the injection treatment In the
hands Of q skilled physician -surgeon
Is now the method Of choice beyond
question. The sorry record OF radical
surgical treatment gives the brass
surgeons little ground for argument
about this. In my opinion the stan-
dard method Of operating on hemorr-
holds Is one Of the crudest Of surgery.
While there Is some complaint Of
pain or discomfort In the intervals
DC ween treatments, the majority Of
patients who receive the injection
treatment for piles or related condi-
tons are enthusiastic in praise Of the
method and quite satisfied with the
results. Often they insist they are
entirely cured even before the doctor
can agree that all the piles have dis
appeared.
