PAGE TEN. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1919. CONCERNING MUSIC By C. A. DAVIDSON (Director of Music tor Salem Schools) Echoes from the State Music Teach ers' Association. This organization i dfcing a great work already. It is bound to grow wonderfully In membership and in f:uew as the music teachers .learn to realize that there are many, many lz-nuovementa needed all along their H ie of work, before they may receive . U;e respect which Is commonly ac cords the physician, the attorney, end other professional men. There Is no reason why music teach ers, or in fact any teachers, who hav tij3'ed thorough preparation, and who are able to secure results with their pupils, should not be considered worthy onsets of the community, un less it be that they have lagged be hind workers In other lines, in prgan Iriiifr for- their own betterment. Physicians, attorneys, ministers, and nil sorts and sizes of business men liave their local, county, state and in terstatte organizations, and so have the music teachers. But must all sv.-ingr into line, and attend these meetings and get acquainted and co operate with each othr, frankly docognize our shortcomings, and de vise ways and means of overcoming them. The sooner we do this, the greater will be our recognition and our influence among our fellow citl- j sens. : I The five Salem teachers who at tended the meeting at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland, recently, will remem ber that the main address was given by Dr. Lamlnbury of the state uni versity. He urged a higher .standard results and therefore of prepara tion. When pupils come to the uni versity, . bringing with ' them high school credits in music, thoy are oftimes found wanting, and yet they have complied with the law and. ex pect to have these credits accepted on a par with Geometry or History. To li ive them accepted he is asked to O. K, them junt as one might indorse a note for a friend. In many coses his conscience Is badly strained, and in many others he refuses absoluttely. Now the only way to remedy this is to set at the cause. Inefficient teachers produce Inefficient' pupils. Bo beginning this year teachers are asked to answer a list of representa tive questions about plana, voice or violin, and also to state quite defi nitely what preparation they have had for teaching. This seems very reasonable inasmuch as the answers mid outlines asked for, may be readily given by anyone who qualified. It seems all the more reasonable also, when we recall that university gradu ation In a fouryesr coursp Is required of ult other high school tahers. Only rtx music teachers of the state 01 Oregon are college graduates, while fmly twelve are high school graduates. Is it ftny wonder that eduoators who ire becoming very much interested In ivusic are demanding more prepara tion and more results from teachers? When guest comes to your home you expert him to conform somewhat t your ways of thinking and conduct. Mnnio is a lata arrival at th high ftohool and Is knocking at the high p.'hiKil and is knocking for admission. lt her conform to the rulrh of tieonietry to Latin, and let her teach ers conform somewhat to the rules governing teachers of these, subjects. All sorts of excuses were offercd-by ti-arhera for not having finished, high nehool or collego, .for Instance. "My health would not permit me to go on." This was ridiculed Inasmuch as n tremendous amount of mental and nervopa energy Is required of one who is to do anything with music. Dr. Ijandshurg assured us that with in the next few years, college gradu ation or Its equivalent would be re quired ot 0110 and all who wish to touch musle, - ," Perhaps the niosct popular per former At the meeting waa Dent Mown, who Is at present located in I'urtltind. He has not only nrtlMtlo vision and brilliant teohnie, but also that virility and strength which are f much demandod now.idi.yii by a riiliofti public. Ona little incident which happened after his program via ludicrous enough, A large, tall, portly lady of the society variety, looked down condisueudtagly on Dent a.-i she tdioolc his hand and congiwtu- lated him, saying with all the false dignity she could command, Tou have a wonderful future, younsr man." She knew little or nothing about music or musicians, and least of all did she know that he is already quite well known as a pianist and composer, and that In spite of his youthful ap pearance, he spent some 14 years con certizing over France and England, and plans in a few years to return to Paris which he considers the most beautiful city of the world and the most enjoyable place for an artist to live. The associaation voted to accept our invitation to meet in Salem next Thanksgiving vacation. PALMER ViLL NOT PRESS CONTEMPT CilEES, REPORT Paderewski has given up politics.

Grief over the daughter's death and a desire to escape the absolute part ing of burial caused her to lower the body Into the basement of their home and keep the hiding place secret.

"I put her in that box and used .ropes to let It down into the cellar." Washington, Dec. 19 -Attorney General Palmer does not intend to prosecute coal miners for violating the anti-strike Injunction because tho in junction has accomplished Us purpose he told a sub-committee of the inter state commerce committee today. "I had my choice of prosecuting the miners in the criimnal courts for vio- lations of the Lever act or of proceed ing against them in the civil courts," said Palmer. '; . "I deemed it my duty to adopt a course which would best serve the gen eral public welfare and, therefore, ask ed for an injunction in the civil courts. That injunction has now been obeyed and Its purpose is accomplished, I flo not think criminal prosecutions at the beginning would have accomplished anything in the way of producing coar and I do not now think I should go back and begin criminal proceedings. In my opinion I must stand by my course in going In the civil courts." " Senator Townsend, Michigan, asked Palmer whether the miners under stand they will not be prosecuted for violating the Injunction. . I don't know what they under stand," replied Palmer. "I haven't discussed It with them." Palmer said he did not" regard the agreement between the miners' lead ers and himself as a settlement, but called It "a complianc with the law." Palmer gave the committee to un I ystand that he fells at liberty xo shape the department of justice policy toward the miners as he deems proper in tho light of the future actions of the miners, AXCOCIE DIES Rouen, Franco, Deo. 19.

Before leaving Salem, one of the of ficers Issued a statement warning "boozers' against the use of "moon shine ' liquor, not only because of the lact that such usage involves and en courages violation of the federal stat utes, but also from the view point of health. Collector Miller's deputies have been gathering data as to the harmful effects of the so-called "moon shine" liquor procurable in various parts of the state. It is stated that hospital records in Portland and other cities of the- state show that many men have been pois oned and in a few instances with fatal results following the inhibition of even small quantities of "bootleg booze." One of the most common forms of the liquid is where .wood alcohol is used to give "form" to the decotion.
