By Saul Abramoyitch, Mu•. Bac.
Fountaine Fox, creator of the
"roonerville Folks" in the comic
section of the Detroit Times, re-

mother by buying her freedom from

ittle girl the princely price of
lime for services rendered.

damn that they must force and pun-

No.
When a child first expresses his
lesire to learn to play on a musical
instrument, the serious application
ITHI hard work is furthest from his
mind. Because heretofore all he has
heard was play, play, play; play
the piano, play the violin; and a
• normal child has the play instinct
and loves to play. Before he can
reach the stage when he can really
play on the instrument he must go
through a systematic training step
by step like any other prescribed
study. It is only after he has ac-
quired a technical knowledge of the
instrument that he can start, so to

PAGE FIFTEEN
Up to this point we have been
discussing the normal child, but
there are, however, some who olo•
not fall in this category. There is
is theory to the effect that some peo-
ple are born tired, and this is sup.
norted by no less an authority than
Dr. Max Scharr, professor of pedi-
strics at the University of Minne-
sota.
There 'are semi• children who,
after studying violin for a year or
two from a competent teacher, coo
plain that they can't hold their in-
struments up high enough to suit
their teacher; these, whom science
calls aesthi.nics, are not by nature
endowed to become violinists, should
rather take up the piano or 'cello
whose weight rests on the floor.
This is the advice of David Mantles,
the eminent musical educator.
This paragraph appears in a re.
cent article by the writer under tho.
title "Daily Lessons" The new
version of it is with the authority
-of Professor Scharr, which corr.-
lsorates the verger's own belief.
Then there are children to when,
the practicing on any musical in-
strument reacts unfavorably and
results in muscular pain and dis-
comfort or in a nervous reaction .
these ens, are, of course, rare, but
they Ils exist. Here the advice of Yi
competent physician is commis!.
able.
Then there are children who.
after studying an instrument for
stout a year. prefer to play some
other instrument. A chance is
sometimes advisable. Fritz Krejci
ler, the famous violinist, says:
"One may be intended for an artist
prenatally. but whether violinist.
'cellist or pianist is partly a matter
of circumstance."
Every normal child should study
some musical instrument. Science
proves that a very small percent-
age of ne'er-do-wells ever studied
music or any other art, and there.
fore few of them know how best to
spend their leisure time.
It is not intended, of course, for
all who study music to become pro-
fessional musicians. Put the pur-
pose is to discover the geniuses
among the masses and give them
these chance to develop.
The vast majority are interested
in merely playing for their own
'pleasure and the more we have of
them the greater will be the num-
ber to appreciate the best in music.
PRELUDES
By Dr. Mark Coasburg.
Detroit will be rich during the
coming so anon in important musi-
cal events: IS subscription con-
sorts 24 matinees with the Detroit
Symphony orchestra, different star.
recitals, like Rose Ponselle at the
beginning of the season and Mme.
Schumanndleink with her usual
annual "farewell" appearance at
the end of the winter. Besides these
the Boston Symphony, the liarrere
I.ittle Symphony and Chicago Op-
era company.
Something different will be of-
fered by Os.sip Gabrilowitsch in his
series of five lecture-concerts. The
subject of this lecture will be "The
Development of the Symphony
From the Eighteenth to the Twen-
tieth Century." The programs will
start with Bach, Haydn, Mozart at
the first concert and end with
Scriabin and Ravel at the fifth.
The Jewish composers are repre-
sented in this program through
Nlendelssohn, Mahler and Ravel.
We recommend this series not
only to the regular concert-goers,
but especially to persons who never
go to Orchestra hall (there are
plenty of them in Detroit). Mr.
Gabrilowitsch is a brilliant lec-
turer and we are sure everybody
that hears his Its:tures will become
a lover of symphonical music and
will enjoy good concerts more than
the vaudeville find the anti-musical
"music shows."
It is a shame that a city like
Detroit, with 1,500,1100 population,
is not able to fill Orchestra hall for
the few symphony concerts. In the
"old world" such a big city would
he able to support at least two
symphony orchestras and two or
more Hiivratic and serious dramatic
stages. In Detroit, the Chicago Op.
e ra company has never played to
a full house, and I repeat here
again: It is a shame!
Therefore we expect Detroit
music lovers to use their influence
upon their less musical friends and
persuade them to attend concerts of
the kind Mr. Galtrilowitsch will of-
fer us.
MUSIC A NECESSITY
By George Galwani.
We are now looking forward to
the opening of the music season
with a delightful suspense of an-
ticipation and eagerness. It appears
that the lapse of timo• from one
season to another is it cruel
punishment for the soul. It is ac-
tually deprived of spiritual nour-
ishment, and the lack of musical
stimulation causes our emotions to
bias me imprisoned and dormant.
As a result, the soul is incapable
of expressing itself through moods
and emotions and life becomes
somewhat stagnant and incomplete.
"I think I should have no other
mortal wants if I could always have
music," says George Elliott. "Music
is a necessity to mankind, it awak-
ens the best in us, it refines our
feelings and embellishes our soul."
Rutland Boughton, the English
composer, has contributed some in-
teresting remarks in the Musical
News and Herald of London as to
the exact status of music in human
life. Ile writes, "Let as have done
with the unnecessarily modest at-
titude that musicians are perveyers
of a luxury which is not likely to
be wanted unless there is lots id
money about. It is simply untrue.
There has never been is grave
emergency within living memory,
from the World war to the general
strike, when music did nut at more
become of extra importance. To
question the necessity of music it-
self is to ii ny an essential part of
the human mind. It is true enough
that wt. cannot all fully develop
every sort of Imam power, but inso-
far as we fail to develop its most
important parts, I maintain that
we can only lie described as men-
tally lacking. Life is doubtless en-
durable for those who have a mono
musical sense. That does not alter
the fact that top of the principal
human organs have been developed
to serve a musical function. The
brain which has not uss• for these
organs in the original capacity is
obviously a brain that is hacking
"If the part played by music in
the modern world had to be decided
by the opinions of great 1111•1 it
would be safe enough. Great men
have regarded it :IS absolutely nee-
ossary to the development of it Der-
mal mind. It is not the indifference
of the great which stands in the
way but the materialism ..f the
greedy "

In the passing itt Brother Simon
Schechter, I wish to express my
sympathy to his grief-stricken wife
and daughter. Brother Schechter
was a man blessed with many
noble qualities, a generous heart
and loving personality. Ills deep

ter was an inspiration to all his
friends. May God in His mercy
give peace to his soul, is the
prayer of
