STMPHOSrr CONCERT MARCH 14.
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

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." . .
