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

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.

Paw Paw, Mich., Dec. 19 Mrs. Sar
ah Tabor, gray and shaken, today told
a coroner's Jury at Lawton t the mys
terious death and disposal of the body
of Maud Tabor, her 48 years old
daughter.
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.
"Maud died In my arms," Mrs. Ta
bor told the Jury, "I found her in her
room ill. He mind was wandering.
Just a few rambling remarks she
made' and then died.
"I put her in that box and used
.ropes to let It down into the cellar."

General Palmer does not intend to
prosecute coal miners for violating the
anti-strike Injunction because tho in

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."

Want Bootleg Addicts.
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. Ama
teur distilling methods have also pro
duced a beverage which contains a
large percentage of arsenic due to in-
adaptable metals and chemicals being
used in the distilling apparatus.
