PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3-As long
as the Australians have a chance to
win the doubles match in the challenge
round OF the Davis Cup carnival, they
have a chance to win the cup-because
young Robert L. "HoW'm I Doing
Riggs, though by no means a bad ten
mis- player. is not absolutely certain Of
beating either Adrian Quist or John
Bromwich.
If the Australians lick Riggs twice
and snatch the doubles, the silverware
is theirs. The betting against this
possibility is about to l, largely be-
cause of the famous shellacking ad-
ministered to the doubles team of Qulst
and Bromwich week ago by J. Dom
aid Bulge and Gene Mako
Bulge and Mako whipped their
guests by 6-3, 60. 6-I That is not

at its face value. then Bulge and

v
out their ability under the cloak of
massed sound, covering any mis-
takes or mediocre ability without
drawing attention to the individual.
1t can also supply, in measure, the
instruction which would otherwise be
financially impossible or it may do
no more than keep alive the interest
OF musicians who have allowed to lie
unused talent which at one time
they were studiously developing
That the idea of music groups is
rapidly becoming important in this
country can also be noted from the
catalogues of music firms. Here is
to be found any number of arrange
ments of solo works for the use of
various types of ensembles, something
Which was not thought of little time
back. Almost all of the popular and
worthwhile literature of any branch
OF music can now be had for choruses
or instrumental groups. The sphere
of musical knowledge is not only
being enlarged, but the better music is
being made accessible to those who
love music yet are not sufficiently
proficient to seek it out of their own
accord.
RECENTLY there has come to this
desk report of the Federal
Music Project on the value of group
instruction in music. There is much
to be said on this subject. which is
advisable mostly when there is a
lack of funds and lack of conspicu-
Gus talent. and there are many argu-
ments for and against class lessons.
The Federal Music Project adopted
tins means of reaching people so as
not to interfere with the work of
private teachers, and none are al
lowed to have the group instruction
unless they are unable to pay for
private lessons. However, many pri-
Fate music teachers advocate class
instruction. and the findings of the
music project indorse the reactions
which they have found to be the
result of several students sharing the
same lesson period.
Basing its report on the results at
tanned in 1913 musical and educational
centers in New York City, the project
finds first that group instruction tends
to make music less Of an art and more
an accepted enjoyment of everyday life
and removes the idea that only the tai
ented should follow The study of
music. 1t places music in the class of
social and communal activities, to be
participated in by every one, regardless
OF ability.
Furthermore, it has found and most
musicians will agree with the reason
ableness of this conclusion, that the
student develops from two angles that
of performer and that of listener, and
thereby his knowledge increases
through his training in listening to
the performance of others as much as
through his own efforts. Concert
goers are acutely aware of their prog
ress in musical appreciation through
the process of listening, and teachers
know how valuable it is for a student
to hear another student perform the
same number and how ideas are born
through this experience.
THEN there is not only the competi-
tive spirit which insures a con-
slant striving, if there is any ambition
