Student Tests of
Music and Art

Edward j. Megroth, faculty men,
ber at Stephens College, Columbia,
Mo-, intends to find out through new
diagnostic tests on music, literature
and art he is developing for his
students the extent of their knowl-
edge.
The tests are designed to confirm
or disprove an old suspicion of edu-
Gators that knowing the technical
terminology and principles doesn't
mean an understanding of the field
to which they apply. In music, for
example, Megroth says: Il imagine
that the great majority of music stu
dents who know what the first move
ment of the sonata form is could
not analyze it from hearing the
simplest Mozart sonata. On the
other hand, I'm sure that many
persons who do not know the formal
definition could make such an anal
ysis just from hearing"
When the diagnostic series is COM
pleted, it will show the growth of
understanding in relation to the
growth in knowledge of technical
terms. Our senses aren't trained
along with our minds" Megroth as
serts. If the tests show what
Megroth and other educators sus-
pect-that knowing the terms some
times helps one understand but
doesn't always do so-then great re-
visions in the teaching methods
commonly employed will be needed.

'Cavalleria' Chosen

Presentation of "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana with an all-Washington cast
of singers. is one of the plans of the
Civic Grand Opera Association this
season. The performance is to be
included in a series which will COM
prise Lucia" "Manon" of Massenet,
and "The Secret of Suzanne" In
the latter works leading roles will
be taken by opera singers of note
from New York and other operate
centers although outstanding WASH
ington talent will also be included
in the casts of these operas.
A local chorus supplemented by
professional opera choristers from
New York will be used in all the
operas. Washington singers inter-
ested in understudy roles as well as
participating in the chorus may
apply for additions to the associa-
tion's musical director, Nine. Amelia
Cont, at the opera headquarters,
174l K street, applications being
accepted by mail only. Since the
operas to be produced are scheduled
for early spring it will be impossible
to accept applications after Janu-
ary Is. The association needs 5000
members or advance subscribers to
guarantee the opera season flnan-
cially.

National Federation
Sponsors Contest

Another Nationwide talent hunt,
this time of year-long proportions,
is being inaugurated by the Ameri-
can Music Department of the Ma
tional Federation of Music Clubs.
The goal is meritorious new COM
positions by American composers,
ranging from songs and short piano
selections to chamber music works
and compositions for full orchestra.
Entries for the national contests
will be secured through a series of
State contests to be launched imme-
diately and to conclude December
l, 1910. Winning compositions from
the various States will be forward
ed to the national judges during
the month of December, and the
announcement of the national win
ners will be made early in the year
1871. Awards for the winning COM
positions, as in the 1889 contests,
will be State and national recog-
milton for the composers through
presentation of the winning works
by artists of outstanding talent.
The contests are open only to
native-born or naturalized Ameri-
cans. Classifications in which they
compete include song with piano
accompaniment and either sacred
or secular words; a composition for
the piano of not less than nor more
than 15-minutes' duration; a two
piano composition with the same
restrictions as to length; a compost
ton for two violins and piano, not
less than 10 minutes nor more than
20 in length, and composition for
full orchestra not less than Is nor
more than 20 minutes in length.
