Gladys I Nash were presented in demonstra tion of the Dunning system of im proved music study for beginners. The stage was artistic with palms and ferns and huge baskets of glad ioli and delphinium, and formed a most fitWng setting for the tiny children, who looked like little fairies in musicland. Mrs. Laura Jones Rawlinson, nor mal teacher of the Dunning sys tem, who has recently returned from" Europe, gave an introductory talk setting forth the purposes and modes of this system, which she represents in her tours throughout the-country. , Mrs. Rawlinson said in part: "I have been most gratified to find that all over the United States the results of this work are com mended y musicians of the best type. Its relation to general de velopment is recognized, for in one of my New Xork audiences the head of the - department for music in struction in one of the most exclu sive private schools there said that she could select the children who had come under this training from the students In her school, both for their musicianship and their general ability to think quickly and orderly on all subjects." On the programme the children's ensemble, of which there were sev eral numbers, showed that their training had' been a true joy to them. Three pianos were made to sound as one. The demonstrations of transposition into any key, major or minor, asked for by the audience, was a revelation' to all present. To see a 7-year-old modulate from any key and show a thorough knowledge of scales' and chords scarcely expected of tiny folk was wonderful. Rhythm, cadences, me lodic dictation ajjd chords were among the other subject demon strated. .'-- The children participatimig' were.
