The teacher is the parents
partner in the business Of training
children. If the teacher is not
taken into the confidence Of the
parents he cannot fulfill his side
Of the association. This must
result in loss which can be pre-
vented by mutual condolences.
Tell the teacher anything that
might affect the child's progress
or comfort in the classroom. Don't

From J, r., Viennd.)

I was delighted to discover an
adult inquiring about learning tc
play an instrument, although
must hasten to explain that ]
learned as a child. However,
coming from a musical family
I have had experiences with
musicians and have taken an
especial interest in the adult de-
string to learn.
We have one friend. a woman
who started the piano after her
children were somewhat grown
She declined good many bridge
invitations. but didn't especially
curtail her social life, only fitted
her practice into her schedule
In one year she was doing some
lovely work on the piano. We
have another friend. a man. who
started on the piano after he
left West Point. I don't know
how long he has studied, but he
too. does remarkably well.
You see! You have the desire
and I trust the determination to
see yourself through. Beginning
piano instruction is now much
more enjoyable, and more profit
able from the standpoint of per-
sonal accomplishment, than 1t
was Is years ago. have 4 chill
dren and no help, and have taken
now and then. a series Of in
structions. I know too that II
can be done. I have. as I said
before, an especial interest in
adult education. Your chances
Of success are efar .greater than
that of a child. for you know
what you want. I feelsthat there
is nothing finer or better for
your personal feeling Of accom-
lplishment and enjoyment, than

To M. E. W., Washington: I saw
your article in the Clearing House

wrote you. You said you are
in piano. I am an adult
and I took lessons although I was
employed and I had the same
problem you do. I didn't think
I would have time to practice but
after I started I really found time
to do so. also have a family but
now have no piano as we moved
into a smaller house and my piano
was too big so I had to get rid OF
1t but I want to start taking
lessons again as soon as I can get
a piano. If you would like more
information about books or sheet
music would be glad to tell you
if you write me through RICH.
If you are interested in piano
you go ahead and you really won't
be sorry when you see the results
you get.

to start learning something as
an adult. Two years ago I started
Chinese painting in China. I
know what can be accomplished
by an adult.
One or two hints: Avoid the
series Of instruction that will
teach you to play In 10 easy les
sons. Start with . qualified
teacher and learn to read notes
and finger positions. In the long
run this will pay OF when you
wish to sight read q year from
now. Also. for the first month
or two, arrange to have lessons,
two or preferably three times a
week. for you will learn rapidly
and the frequent lessons will keep
you progressing and keep you from
getting bored. Practice periods
should be short for even an adult
can't concentrate for too long q
period on technique. Fifteen
minutes the first thing in the
morning, IS minutes when you
return home. and Is minutes be-
fore retiring will help you more
than 30 minutes at one time.
Squeeze In or 10 minutes when
ever you can.
You mentioned that you had
a family: I can't think Of any
thing more stimulating to your
youngsters. than to have them
know that you must start from
scratch too. It will remain q
life long lesson to them as well as
additional incentive when they
are grown.
My very best wished for your
fast progress, Above all-have
fun with it. y

TINTING QUEEN ANNE'S LACE?
WORDS TO POEM?
From Mrs. H. P. F., Washinoton.J }
I tried with great success the
tinting Of Queen Anne's lace by
putting the blossoms in different
colored water that was tinted with
candy coloring. I understood that
after they had absorbed enough
color to be pretty. that they could
be put in q vase without water
and last indefinitely. but mine
dropped. Did misunderstood di-
rections. or what did / do wrong
Can any reader supply me with
the words Of q poem that starts
like this?
II like to see the Old World
And travel UP and down
Among its ruined palaces
And castles Of reknown."
And the refrain Of each verse Is:
TITS home again for me
Across the oceans bars
Where the air 10 full Of freedom,
And the nag 10 full OF stars"
