"If a child has a great dealre to
play some special Instrument, It Is
,iniiv hMfc tn let him have his
choice. Above all. one should not be
deceived by the old superstition. Tie
can't carry a tune, so It's no use to
( let him study music 1' Many children
do not sing In tune because they have
no ear training, and their preceptlon
of pitch la faulty because It has not
been developed. Even in the face of
financial stress and scoffing relatives,
and none too enthusiastic small boys
and girls, It Is every child's right
hiivn AnmA musical tralnlnft. It is one
path to beauty and Joy toward which
one should not fall to direct tneir
feet," according to J. L. V., writing
for the Christian science Monitor.

Medford Is soon to have a school
of music where instruction in piano,
voice, violin, 'cello, and class piano
will be given. Effle Herbert Yeoman,
who recently returned from a sum
mer of intensive work at the Chicago
Musical college, and John R. Knight,
of Jacksonville, well-known teacher
of violin in Medford, Grants Pass
and Jacksonville, will be associated
In this new project.
Mrs. Yeoman specialized in and is
I the Oregon representative of class
piano, the system used successfully
in the public school of Chicago and
Kansas City. This system enables the
beginning-student to accomplish as
much in four months time as the av
erage student will attain in a year
of private work, according to Mrs.
Yeoman. Outstanding pedagogues of
the nation recognize in the Curtis
method a valuable asset to a musical
education. The first year's work con
sists of fundamental elementary har
mony, rhythm and piano technic,
construction of all major and minor
scales, transposition, quick sight
reading, ear training, analysis, inter
pretation and original composition.
Mrs. Yeoman also continued her
voice and teacher training work un
der Graham Reed, head of the Voice
. department at the Chicago Musical
college, and Mme. Nelli Gardlnl,
whose pupils won the two leading
scholarships offered to Chicago stu
dents last year.
Mr. Knight's work 1 well known
In this locality. His pupils who were
presented in a publlo recital In May
displayed careful technique, poise,
and development of a good ear.
The location for the school will be
at Sixth and ivy where the studio
la being remodeled and equipped to
afford facilities for class work. A
class demonstration, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Yeoman, will be given
at the Baldwin Piano ahoppe. 26

PIANO BEST FOR
MUSICAL STUDY
SAY EI
"It 1 tha duty of evry mother to
give her child the opportunity to be
come acquainted with at least one
musical Instrument. In my opinion
the piano la the most desirable of
all. embodying as It does all the ele
ments of music, harmony, melody and
rhythm." says Mrs. Herman M. Blges,
ol the National Federation of Day
Nurserlea, in discussing the value of
music In a child's life.
It la admitted by great educators
and authorities everywhere that the
piano is one of the most beneficial
studies. In every instance the student
who learns to play the piano acquires
more than musical slclll. Personal
magnetism, mental alertness, strength
of character, artistic appreciation are
the natural consequences of piano
study. Even grace of body follows the
ability to play the piano.
Learning to play Is both easy and
delightful. New scientific teaching
methods eliminate drudgery and make
simple melodies the basis of study.
Even famous classics can become a
part of the youthful player's reper
toire for in most masterpieces the
technique la simple. Although the
child may be Just an ordinary play
er, the social pleasures, the broaden
ing educationally, the strengthening
influence to character . . . will make
the study of the piano worth while.

Activities of
Legion Auxiliary
The Oregon Legionnaire has pub
lished some excerpts from the speech
of Senator Frederick Stelwer. A few
of these are as follows: "The con
tractor for war supplies received his
cost plus a profit. There Is no pro
fit for the man disabled on the batr
tie field. All the veteran has ever
asked Is not emolument or reward,
but economic restoration. If the
soldier Is willing to quit with merely
economic restoration, he Is entitled
to something besides Insult from the
congress of the United States. The
American Legion has done nothing
for which to apologize. The Amer
ican Legion stands for the principle
that it is the nation's duty to make
whole so far as possible, the man
who was injured In his. country's
service." -
Tho new president of the Auxil
iary, department of Oregon, Mrs.
Dorothy Eakln, has given as her aim
