9h”! Children and Music. ‘
That Americans can make music is
proved by the fact that this country has
poduoodsomo leading professional sing-
ers. Nevertheless our system of teaching
children to sing in the public schools
has for some reason been little else than
a failure. It has not taught young poo-
plo to read music at sight generally. It
has not mellowed their voices from the
hard. somewhat shrill cnckle complain-
ed of by musically cultivated foreigners
who listen to our public school singing.
The musical teaching in our public
schools lasts long enough and costs
enough to make the children good sing-
ers, yet it has thus far failed to make
any pamanent impression.
The reason probablyiis that the chil-
dren’s love for music is not developed
The popular musical taste of the coun-
.~ try has’not advanced beyond the Moody
and Seukey hymns and the trashy variety
airs. So far as real music goes the com-
men variety song contains about as
much of it as the queer, discordant notes
that pass for music among tho Chinese,
yet it it whistled on the streets, played
by the nickel in the slot machine, and
very often sung to piano music in re-,
1111on homes. A largo proportion of our
believe these rattly airs to be

hoxpublic schools are the agency by
which "the Americans can he made a
musical people. That the teaching of ,
singing in them thus far has been gen-
erally a failure proves only that the
right methods have not been found yet.
It certainly seems to have been discover-
edand utilized in the schoolsof Dod-
ham and Brookline. Mass. It has ad-
vanced so far there that the pupils are
able to ‘read difficult ‘music at sight.
They have also, with the assistance of
professional soloists, been abl o to per-
tonn such great compositions as “The

Professor 8. W. Jenks of Cornell
university is of opinion that it Would.
be a trcmfilfiohpcrvice to “the public"
for some great rich man to endow a
newspaper. He should set aside for it
to much money that it would live,‘ if
living it could be called whether any-
body subscribed for it or read it or not.
Its management should be in the hands
of “trustees oftintcgrity,” who would
run it in the interest of all the pure,
slovated and unselfish sentiments of the
day. “It would be expected .to give
carefully written, 111odcratc opinions on
bdtliflsiiles. " The professor thinks'sucb
an endowed newspaper might l1ave~”a
stronger teddcncy toward elevating the
political tone than a dozen new univer-
. Yes, yes! Very fine this. But if such
apeper were endowed and started in
three months’ time it Would be as stupid
through and through as an essay by a
collegp professor. It would bedeader
than the Dead sea. Nobody would read
it any. more than he now reads The

know that astute church is the most

Future Battles.
Although General Miles is :1 lover of
fine horses and the owner of u considera-
ble number of them, he‘is of opinion
that horses will cat 1111 figure at all in
the warfare of the future. He believes
it quite practicable to haul artillery by
steam, petroleum or gas power. General
Merritt is the judge appointed to decide
the Thanksgiving day contest between
hcrsclcss carriages in a race from ~Chi-
cage to Milwaukee. ’
If army supplies and cannon calibe
transported in ‘ture by steam carriages,
present system? of warfare will be rov-
olutionizcd. The government mule will
pass; the forage for horses will be re-
placed by coal, electrical buttery sup-
plies or petroleum. The new gas, acety—
lcno, is'oxpccted to be a motive power-11f
great value on account of its choupncs :.
If artillery can be hauled byhnrsolcss
carriages, what is to hinder the artil-
lerymen themselves from riding 1'11 the
carriages or on others accompanying the
cannon? If horsesrure no longer neces-
sary for artillery, why should they be
for cavalrymeni Will not the "bike" be
a good substitute? In fact, the picture
of a brigade of cavalry making a charge
against the enemy on bicycles is emi-
nently spirited and taking.

noblnun Opera Company.
The Robinson Opera company, which
opens a five nights’ engagement at lloyt s
Theatre, Tuesday night, December 10, is
playing In llaubary this week. Last
night's Danbury News says: "The Bob-
Iusou Opera company opened In La Mas-
cotte utthe Opera House last night. The
‘ piece offered no end of fun for the audi-
ence. While the plot of the original Moa-
cottewas adhered to, in the main, there
were many of the musical numbers that
were missing, and In their place was some
exceedingly laugh-provoking comedy
work by Frank 1). Nelson, as Rocco, and
John Young as Prince Lorenzo. ' These
two comedians furnished a plentitudm
comical ‘busincsa’ that was sulliolent to
satisfy the most fun-loving. Essie Bar-
ton, ns the Mascot, and J. K. Adams. as
Plppo, were especially pleasing in their
musical numbers, both in solos and duos.
The chorus Winstrong and sung with a
volume of tone that filled the house.
This was particularly noticeable in its
singing of the famous chorus from The
Queen’s Lace Handkerchief, which was
done as a finale to the second act. The
Bohemian GM will be sung tonight,
when there should be a'large attendance.
The company is deserving of liberal
patronage.” ‘
