Both the list Of musical events
scheduled by the concert bureaus and
the interesting opportunities offered
by the teachers show that the musl-
cal public is ready for something bet
ter than last year, and anxious to
have it. At first thought this seems
perfectly natural, but a glance over
the shoulder will catch glimpse OF
a time when the concert courses were
slim affairs and the educational pro-
gram went along in rut. And this
condition of affairs was not so far in
the past Now there has entered an
aliveness into the planning, an alert
ness of vision that takes cognizance
of the need and meets it.
Particularly is this noted in the new
departments that have been added to
the regular courses by the various
Conservatives of music. definite
attempt has been made in one of the
music schools to provide for those
who are too busy or unprepared for
strenuous study by arranging a course
of lectures that will be helpful in di-
recting the seeker to a real means of
musical appreciation. Another, by
the establishment of an amateur Or
chestra, has provided the opportunity
for advanced students to prepare for
an artists career. A third SpecializeS
in formal recitals of eXacting pro-
grams as a test of artistic efficiency.
The benefit of operatic training is
being more appreciated by far-Seeing
vocal teachers who, with commend
able care. are laying the foundation
for an operatic future with q wise
selection of suitable vehicles, while
the numerous choral societies are
giving their members rich knowl-
edge of the best in music through the
study of choral numbers and ora
torios from the elite of the composers
world.
When considering the question of
studying music the advantage of
choosing a teacher who has had active
personal experience in how his the
ories work out should always be taken
into consideration. Ideas are value
less unless a teacher has put them
into practice by actual performance,
for otherwise physical reactions can
not be completely understood. There
is q will O. the wiSp something in
teaching music that has to do with
physical conditions that no one can
see with the naked eye and which
must be understood through personal
experience by teacher if he would
correctly guide a student lost in the
bewildering maze. One of the gratify-
ing earmarks of the coming season is
that the teachers are actively recog-
nizing this fact, studying, searching
and testing and seeking advice from
the more learned.
What promises to be an enormous
help in this direction is. the recently
formed Music Teachers Association,
put into working form by Carl Engel
and a rare staff of assistants. Music
problems are to be met in fraternal
consideration and a spur given to
further development of musicianship
by the inspiration that visiting au-
thorities on music will bring in Sc
ries of talks. Uniting, as it will, all
branches in working toward a COM
mon goal of better music and better
musicians, cultivating kindlinesS and
tolerance, it should become the guild
ing spirit of the community.
The varied character of the concert
offerings for the coming season COW

Iturbi says: "All my life I have

to make my medium" In June he
appeared as guest conductor of the
New York Philharmonic Symphony

where he was guest conductor of the
Philadelphia Orchestra for another
fortnight, later crossing the continent

In spite of his success as a concert
pianist, Iturbi, who is making his
sixth American tour this coming sea-
son, desires to conduct orchestras, and
he does conduct them with almost
as much acclaim from the public as
he plays the piano. The moment his

Chaliapin stands peer, for if there
is still something to be discovered in
song or aria after he has inter-
preted it, with heart, intellect. per-
Sonality and musicianship in perfect
union, it is yet to be proven. Another

Wrangell Sends Party Out to Hunt for McCracken

A searching party set out from Wrangell this morning for the five men of the McCracken party, miss ing in that district since Decmeber l, according to telegram receiv- ed in the Governors office here this morning. The message was from the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce and said that the search had been initiated by the newly appointed United States Commis- sioner, John M Stedman.
 The lost party consisting of Rob- ert McCracken, c. A. Darrow, Ed. Smith, Fred Kester and c. w. Fild, started for Wrangell from the Marsh Island Fox Ranch, De- cember 1, on the trolling boat Nell lie Torrey and the T2212. Mrs McCracken was left on the island

TEST PILES FOR BRIDGE SHOWING GOOD "BoTTOM"
Contract for Main Piers to Be Let Sometime Be-
 fore End of February

Plans for the Juneau-Douglas bridge took definite shape this morning when two test piles driven near Tenth Avenue showed a pene- tration of forty feet, which is considered sufficient for the foun- dation of the structure.
 The contract for the main piers will be let sometime before the end of February, according to O. H. Stratton, engineer on the bridge project.
 The bridge is to be of cantilever type with two end spans of 3O0 feet in length and a center span 5l6 feet long. Tying each end of the steel structure to the road ways will be a concrete span ten feet long.
 The general estimates of steel and concrete for the structure will he the subject of study for the engineering force for the next few weeks said MT. Stratton.

searched the waters and islands be- tween Marsh Island and Wrangell no trace of 1.le missing men has been found.
 It is believed that the boats foun- dered in the storm that was rag ing the day they left for Wran- gell, and the lapse of time since their leaving lends credence to that belief. However, friends of the men still have hopes that they may be marooned on one of the islands and they petitioned the Governor office to continue the search.
 Near Steamship Channel
 The message from Wrangell did not tell the size of the party nor the name of the boat that is being used in the search.
 The Marsh Island ranch is not far from Etolin Island, which is on the main channel taken by steam ships and smaller boats running between Wrangell and Petersburg and it is thought possible the men may have been wrecked on the out side of Etolin and have been mak- ing their way around to the main channel side.

 Butchers AS to 20
JED. 29 = DIED 28
 Y.P.A.C. 48 = United Meat 29.

The Juneau Bremen last night wobbled through to victory by a single-point margin in the last three minutes, after having been outplayed by the Douglas Bremen most of the remaining 37 minutes of the game The Islanders, shy the services of Manning, put up one of the best games they have played this season, checking hard and close, passing well, but shooting poorly which cost them the game
 In the nightcap. the Y.P.A.C. five smothered the United Meat quint under an avalanche of goals, sink ing a total of 9 from scrimmage and holding the Butchers to II of that variety.
 Lccals Lead Early
 The local smoke eaters started off in cloud of smoke but weren't able to maintain their pace. Garn's shooting kept them out in front in the first quarter which ended 8 to in their favor. From then un- til just three minutes before the timers final gun the Islanders, playing pretty ball, had things mostly their own way. They rallied to tie the count at the half, 14-all.
 A free throw for single point gave them a hairline margin for moment and the locals wiped it out with a field goal to resume their lead which lasted just sec ends. Four goals from scrimmage in rapid succession gave Douglas a seven-point lead which ought to have been twice as large but for their poor marksmanship. The home team revived just before the end of the quarter and cut down the margin to three points, trail ing 23-26.
 Rally at the End Douglas partisans cheered when the Islanders promptly built this up with a field goal. Brown, drop i ping a long shot, again reduced the margin to three points. After that neither team scored for sev- eral minutes.
 With three minutes to go, the locals, trailing by three notches opened up their game little and began to work the ball down un- der their basket. Garn caged one from near the gift toss line to bring his team up to within one point of a tie. A moment later he was fouled, but missed his shot On ball outside play beneath Douglass basket, Blake passed the length of the court to Holmann unguarded beneath his own goal Doc dropped in the casaba to give the Bremen a single point lead 15 seconds before the final gong And that was all the scoring fol the game.
 lnulan rive StrOng The Y. P. A. c. quint had little difficulty subduing the Butchers showing better grade of team play and trotting out real for ward in the person of one Rudolph whose 20 points was high for the evening. Thomas, at Guard, ac. counted for ten.
