20TH CENTURY METH
ODS APPLIED TO MUSIC
It la now recognized fact that a
mimical education ia necessary. No
young lady finishes ber .education
without a knowledge of music, Ibe
young men are also awakening to tbe
fact that musical education is a
great help to them all thiougb life.
There it something in the atudy of
musto that ia elevating and refining.
One cannot take op the atudy without
Improving their minda In a way that
is sure to benefit tbem greatly.
During the pant twenty years there
baa been great advancement along ed
ucational lines. 'Ibe past decade has
aeen tbe development ot not only tbe
colleges and oniversities, but tbe cor
respondenoe schoolHihave taken a po
aition second to none in tbe matter
ot education. Today we have several
large schools whose students are nam
be red by the hundred of thousands.
In Portland is located a branch of
the International Consetvatory of
Music, whose bead offices are at
Dallas, Texas. This company is orifa
nized under tbe strict laws of tliaj
state, with a paid-up capital stock oi
1 100. 000. They use whut is known a
the MacMafter system, and from tbe
very first their business bas been a
great sucoess. They have proven be
yond any doubt that musio can be
taught aucoesafully by mail.
Tbe Paoillo Coast branch was open
ed in Poitiaod tbe first of November,
1000. At tbe close ot their first year's
business In tbis territory they bad en
rolled nearly 3,000 pupils, and judg
ing by the hundreds of letters they
receive from tbeir pupils and grateful
parents, tbe people who deal with
tbem are more tban pleased at tbeir
own progress
Tbey are not only the largest con
servatory of amnio in the world, but
tbe only one having a commercial rat
ing, liy lefetenoe to litadstreet we
find tbey are rateed at $150,001, with
first grade of credit. Tbis high rat
ing certainly protects the public and
gives you assurance that tbe oompuuy
isjlable for any promise it may make.
. Until tbe system Is expaliued to
most peoplo there Is doubt as to their
ability to teach musio by mail, but it
seems ibe leading musicians of tbe
country, who have taken tbe time to
investigate, unite in giving the meth
od tbeir hearty endorsement.
It Is Impossible for many of our
readers to give tbeir children tbe ad
vantages of a conservatory education.
The cost is too great. Here, bow
ever, is a conservatory education
placed within tbe reaoh of all. Tbe
conservatory teaches the piano and
organ, tbe violin, mandolin, and gui
tar. Ibe cost is very moderate when
compared with what you would pay
your local teacher. Tbe courses have
beeu piepared by not one, but many
of tbe greatest musicians of tbis
country and Europe Tbe student
gets tbe "boiled down" results ot tbe
study and research of centuries. In
charge of tbe teaching department of
tbe Portland branch tbey have an in
structor who is in every way tbor
oughly capable ot teaching these
courses as intended by tbe authors.
Some of tbe piinoij al advantages can
be summed up in a few words:
You study at home; no time Is lost
from work or school: you have no
musio or books to buy , you get one
thing at a time, and you learn that
thoroughly bef oi e you are advanoed;
you got special holp on any point not
understood; a reason "why" ia giveu
for each step you take; you write
your reoltations you know it before
you write It, and each member of the
family are permHted to study from
one scholarship.
Never before, have we heard ot an
educational institution of any kind,
giving a positive guarantee, that upon
the completion of the prescribed
course, certain results will be attain
ed. This, th I. J. M. does, lhuy
give you a guarantee, they biud them
selves under tbeir corporate seal, that
upon the completiou of the course
you will be able to read and play by
note and will audrestaud tbe funda
mentals of musio. In case of failure,
they promise to refund the tuitou
paid. Ibe known responsibility of
the company makes this guarantee
good as gold.
Practically all their business is
done by traveling representatives who
go into tbe dlllorent localities and
form classes. Mr. John T. lioye, a
special organizer, is now iu tbe Hood
Kiver valley. Thus far he has mot
with splendid success, demonstrating
that the people of this section are de
sirous of giving their children the
benefits ot a conservatory education
in music
Mr. lioye thoroughly understands
the method and we think it would be
well for our readers to make an in
vestigation when the opportunity pre
sents itself. In another place iu this
issue will be found an advertisement
of the conservatory, which will furth
er explain the scope of tbeir work.
The 'ew Year.
We believewe are not exaggerating
when we say that there has never
been a year since lialboa waded into
the limpid waters ot the Paoillo and
claimed everything its wators touched
for Hpain, down to the present mo
nient, when Its close has reflected no
much commercial advancement fur
the Paoillo Mortjhwett as the oar of
100G. Less than a week remains of
it, and then it will be stored away
with its predecessors wherever the
powersl that, be put time that hat
passed. A retrospect is made at tbis
time, not bo much for the sake of
boasting T pride over the achieve
ment is done, as for the purpose of
understanding the real causes for this
phenomenal growth and in order that
it may be continued, if possiblo, iu
tbe future.
The Northwest baa alwaysjjhoen here
rich with unexploited wealth and re
sources; it bas been known to some,
and some have endeavored fur years
to open to the world the way to for
tune and greatness here; weary years
were spent in trying to bring about
the result sought atter so earnestly,
apparently without sucooss. .Probably
the discovery of old iu Alaska made
tbe first opening. People saw what
there was here, and while most of
tbem were more interested in tbe y 1
low metal to be dug from the bleak and
icy North, still many of them, espec
ially on returning, after learning the
bard lesson of uopreparedness, saw
the beauties of tbe Paoitlo Coast and
stayed, or returned later to make
their homes in this country.
As time passed more people came,
but still tbe development was small.
Then came tbe inception and roliza
tion of tbe Lewis and Clark exposi
tion. It drew thou muds wheie Booros
bad come before. Ihey camo, they
saw,ud tbey were couqueied. Here
was something which they bad heard
of vaguely, presented to them, per
sonally, vividly, foroibly. The econ
omist saw abundance and wealth ; the
moralist saw educational and spirit
ual possibilities; tbe idealist discov
ered wondrous beauty ; tbe commer
cial man found tbe foundings of an
empire ready to nil band. It is not
surprising that theri bas been an in
(lux of population, of money and ot
brains. Pew new countries have been
built op so rapidly yet with the same
solid and Uttiug foundations.
First ot all, there bas to be merit
for lasting growth, and we can take
for granted that tbe Pacific Northwest
bas that. It is no "flyer" investors
are taking here; it is permanent in
vestment they are making. (Second,
there must be no pause in tbe work.
We have begun well, but we most
keep it up. Momentary ardor accom
plishes something, but settled and en
during enthusiasm, resulting in hard
and unremitting work, is better, tor it
builds higher and digs deeper. If
1007 and 1008 and other years to come
are to see tbe work of tbe passing
year carried on, there must be no lag
King behind, no stops to re-t, no dis
couragement. We wish no sound of discourage
ment to make itself beard at tbis time
but a note of warning is a necessary
precautionary signal. Iu all our en
thusiasm over what we know is a re
ally good and great country, we must
be wise. Common prudence, careful
reckoning, are balance wheels, and,
combined with determination to ac
complish more will wa rant every con
fidence in the future. Oregon Tradesman.
)VaoU Roosevelt Again.
Tbe Rosevelt Third Term National
league ha been organized iu Chicago
and an application for n charter was
made at Springfield. Edward A. Hor
ner, formerly of Leadville, Colo., wo
says he is a "red hot" democrat driv
en to the verge ot bankruptcy by tbe
machinations of ti e "system" is tbe
organizer and president of tbe league.
According to the tentative plan out
lined by Mr. Homer !n his headquar
ters, 814 Tribune building, lest night,
be proposed to make Chicago tbe na
tional headquarters and to organize
clubs iu every county aud city iu the
United States. Ibe first meeting was
held Tuesday night, at which the fif
teen men to whom invitations bad
been sent elected tbe following olH
oers aud directors:
President Edward A. Horner.
Vioe Presidents Miltcn I'. Hosmer,
Boston; Ueorge Noxon, Chicago.
Secretary and treasurer K. C.
Hayek.
Assistant secretary (Jeoige P.
Locke.
Directors-!! M. Shane and Wil
liam Prank Kobinscn, botb of Chi
cago. "it Is not our purpose," said Mr.
Homer, "to appeal to politicians.
In fact, we don't want any of tbem.'
It is to be a matter which is to come
eopli
self I don't care whether President
Kosevelt likes it or not. To my mind
be bas nothing to say about it. He is
the only man in whom the people
have absolute aud Implicit confldenco.
We know he is honest; bis actions
have demonstrated it beyond cavil."
