ST. JOHNS REVIEW St. Johns Best Place of all for the 1925 Fair St. JohnsBestPlaceof all tor the 1925 Fair VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1921. NUMBER 32 A Rare Musical Treat Mrs. Frank A. Rice nresentod her G5 students in recital at the James John High School June Oth to over COO people. The pro gram was opened with analyt ical talk by Mrs. Rice on Mod ern Methods of Music Study. Those present were much im pressed by the knowledge at tained by pupils in scientific rud iments of music and their clear conception of the meaning and S0H30 of musical construction which develops real musicians instead of merely piano players. She explained how music as a language they must learn to writo as well as read, how the child is taught to think and lis ten to music, and the pupils formed into classes and by teaching a number in n class in terest and regularity is retain ed. I ho valuo of. the class les sons is shown by the spomanity of tho pupils, as each vies with the other to think fastest and be tho first to grasp the touic presented. Tho first number was memory work by Doris Bay, 5 years old. She played her entire solo from memory and wrote tho first four meas ures of her solo. The main object of this work as well ns to give tho child a musical ed ucation is to train tho memory. Russell Hayes, five years old, demonstrated his ability with but six weeks' training, which was a revelation and a delight to the audience. Tho next num ber was n duet where- six little girls, all under nine years, play ed on thrco pianos. They show ed the beautiful ensemble it is possible for young children to acquire. In tho Rhythm tost the moat difficult measures of a Hay- den Sonata woro placed on tho blackboard. To divido theso measures correctly tho children muot know the valuo of notes and tho combination of notes perfectly. This was neatly and quickly dono by children under eight years. Tho next was a trio where nine little girls play on thrco pianos. This .was the severest test that can be given of ensemble work as it is just nine times as difficult as if they were playing a solo. A most in teresting subject was Ear Train ing and Tone Thinking. Mrs. Rice thoroughly explained how no other class of people have so much need of cultivating then cars as a music student. Music reaches the heart and brain thru the ear, yet how many do try to reach it through the eye. Much is being said about self e.xpres sion. now is one to express himself when he, has no know edge of or Jeenng for tonal or rhymetic relations? We cannot express ourselves in a langi agc ve do not understand: why ox nect it in music? The pupils demonstrated that they could hear what they see, by singing from the Imickbourd notes they never before had seen. Then to prove they could write what they could hear, Mrs. Rice play ed on the piano and one pupil re produced it on tho blackboard, giving tho key and rhythm. Transposition hus always struck terror to tho heart of the ad vanced musician: it has never been considered for children. However, "Old Folks at Homo" was played in four different keys and written transposition in any key called for by the audience. The audience was so pleased by tho playing of six boys that they insisted upon 'their re turn. The violin class of 8 stu dents nlavcd with marked tech niquc under the able leadership of Wesli'y Nichols und rendered Meditation most beautifully. Tho playing of these children was a revelation, as all members havo had less than n veer's In struction. Edgar Wick man as concert master captivated all with his violin solo and was for ced to respond. The program was concluded by the audience singing America, accompanied by tho violin class. Tho pupils, to show their appreciation, pre (Contlnucd on second pane) No Vacation Outfit is Complete Without a Small Victrola and a Kokak with Plenty of Films, This Victrola IX $75.00 $1 Down: $1.50 Weak Thev may not believe you but tlic pictures prove it.

Tho time is ut hand for this event to be made one of fume, With the natural topography of this parlicularsiteasit is. a well modulnted und beautiful loca tion, all that is left is to make use of such a wonderful site. An intelligent comprehension may be derived by its study from a practical view point. We must bo in a position to appre ciate tho wonderfully clear and speciiic understanding that is obtainable from an intelligent and care taking study of this wonderful opportunity, and the subsequent direction of nil the work. Let each and all of us carefully consider and study out improvements and whnt may be the accomplishments ns we re tain in our minds the thought that tho Peninsula affords one of the grandest locations for tho 1025 Exposition. Barring the viewpoint of selfishness it is to be considered an appropriate lo cation for such an event. By bringing to light a site equal to the occasion, by being bencfi ciul to the city lis a whole in every imuginuble business way. Wnler and rail faclities equal to none, affording ample- space for purging und camping sites. most essential to tho tourist. We therefore wish to extend a cordial invitation nt this time to all parts of the civilized world to bo present on either or both these occasions to eye witness this sito of grandeur und splendor that it may bo ful ly realized by all to be one o( tho most appropriate places for both Mr. Muck Sadly Alisscd From the Portland Examiner: That A. A. Muck is sadly miss ed as a member of the board of county commissioners in not on ly the belief of tho Examiner, but many people in all parts of Multnomah county. Things do not seem to have gone along so smoothly in the deliberations of that body as they did when Mr. Muck was there. We find too much time, it seems, for petty squabbles, and too much time lost in trying to find a way to on ten cents oil' of some poor devil's wage. More men of the Muck typo are needed m every governing body. For instance when great agitation was stir red up in Portland Inst year to tho elTect that one or more of the bridges spanning the Wil lamette river were unsafe and should be immediately condemn ed and new structures put up to replace thn old ones, members of tho county commission, with the exception of Commissioner Muck, favored tno work being done. It was Mr. Muck who arose in tho meeting of his co-laborers and stated that while he favored tho erection of new bridges, if necessary, thai ho certainly did not intend to spon sor such until after he had thor oughly investigated the matter, as he thought, personally, that the bridges could bo repaired in such way as to make unneces sary tho erection of tho now structures. So Muck culled in engineers. Chairman Benson of the stute highway body loan ed him the services of tho state lighwuy engineer, and they got to work quick. A thorough in vestigation was made with tho result that tho report showed theso events. Publicity Mnnu- gcr rrnternni uoosiers, rort land, Oregon. that repairs could be bo mado in such manner as to make the bridges perfectly safe, and that is what was done, a clear out and out saving of thousands of dol lars to the county of Multnomah. It is costing much more to run the affairs of the county, per haps $1000 per day more, now than it did during Muck's re gime. Prior to entering the commission in 1010 Mr. Muck was mayor of St. Johns at the time of its merger with the city of Portland and he came to the service of the county backed by wide experience. More men of his calibre are needed in public work. Bachelors Annex Another Tho Bachelor Club ball tossers won another gnmo last Sunday from the fast Eastern and Wcs tern Lumber Co. nt East 12th and Davis streets by n score of 8 to 3. Tiiis was a hard fought came with plenty of baso ball. wrangles, tho usual umpire bait ing, etc. Ihognmo terminated in the eighth inning with the bnscs full and tiie Bachelor club wrecking crew coming to bat with none out. "Gummy" Tool ing, the umpire, called a closo decision on a forced play at home in favor of tho club players and immediately the diamond was flooded with wrathy Eastern and Western plnyers who do mnnded another umpire and in sisted under threat tnnt they would quit before allowing "Gummy" to continue. Show ing real umpire ability, Teeling produced a watch and gnvu tho teams two minutes in which to continue and at tho expiration of tho nllotcd time gavu the game to the Bachelors by the official score, aitice the sawmill players would not givo( in to their demands.
