The fifth concert of the Portland Symphony Orchestra will take place at the Heilig- Theater Sunday afternoon. March 14. The -date was -originally set for March 7, but postponement became necessary, owing to other attractions having- been booked for the theater on that date. It is probable, however, that the or chestra will give a concert at Salem March 7, Mrs. B. E. Tait, business man ager, having taken up the matter with the music loving people of Salem. M. Christensen will conduct the or chestra at this concert, which, by the way, is next to the last for the fourth season, and an exceptionally attractive programme will be presented. It will begin with Massenet's overture, "Phe dre" to Racine's famous tragedy, which with Haydn's symphony No. 2 in D major, will form the first part. This symphony Is rather short, though in the customary four movements, and this makes it possible to include' with it in the first half the overture. The second part of the programme will open with Richard Wagner's beau tiful "Siegfried Idyll," which affords exceptional possibilities for the strings MUSICIANS ACTIVE IN Crtl RKAT COMMENT.

Q EDITED BY JOSEPH MJLCQUEEN. famous mother of the operatio stage UITE an Important musical event I today. - . - - - - , Madame Homer s belief is that after a mother has familiarized herself with her children's - ideas and ideals, she must not only most solicitously look toward -the development of their par ticular talents, but she must be care ful not to endeavor to cultivate those gifts as she would have them, but ac cording to the child's conception of facts. In other words, "a mother must train her offspring to specialize in order to be effective, and efficiency is the watchword of modern progress. Mothers frequently make the great mistake of trying to rear their child ren along the lines which they them selves have determined upon. This is always disastrous and frequently terminates in ..the wrecking of the child's life." . . In the picture, read from " left to right; Catherine.
