Although J; a fow churches aro nblo to present somo contrary statls Jcs, yet the only concluulon that can logically bo reachod from n study b tho -articles roforrc to Is that young mon are not so nmbltloua to T&ocomo oxpoundora of tho gospel In tho prosent day and gonoratlon as tXfetjy "woro only n few decades ngo.

Well, that 1b good. But will you kindly listen to a llttlo advlco from ono who has had much exporlenco? You will not And It nn easy task to learn to sing well. You must practice long and faithfully meet many dis couragements and do an endless amount of drudgery before you can lay claim to oven singing passably well. START RIGHT Many make tho mlBtako of thinking that any cheap teacher will do to begin with. Novor a greater mistake! The foundation is the prin cipal thing. It is a lamentable mlstako to Bpend money and waste valu able tlmo nnd thon later on find out that all you havo learned was worse than nothing; that you had formed habits that must be unlearned be foro any real musical progress can bo made. sihm uuaniUG Tho first difficulty In sclectlnR ft' Reed teacher, which' is no easy task, for no profession is bo full of "sham and humbug" aB Vocal Training. As a rule, a fow teachers aro thoroughly prepared and in placo of correct Instruction use all kinds of llttlo "lclnkB" that aro of no posslblo valuo and often very detrimental. A volco when onco spoiled can never be restored, hence tho great Importance of selecting a good teacher. GOOD EDUCATION A few vital points may bo noted. In the first place, tho good teach er will havo a broad, liberal education. His mind muBt be broader than just rauBlc. Ho muBt possess a well developed, well balanced brnln power, which comes only from a broad education. Ho must bo a man among mon, nnd not one-sided, "cranky," "finicky." Tho reason that so many musicians aro bo touchy and Jealousy, Is because thoy aro vory narrow becauso of tho lack of a good general education. VOCAL TRAINING Tho good vocal teacher should hnvo studied Volco Culture, Sight Singing, Solo and onscmblo work, Including Opera nnd Oratorio, not less than FIVE years, TWO yoarB of which should havo been with Bomo groat master In Europe Ho should bo thorough in Harmony, Musical History, Musical Biography, Musical Science, Musi cal Pedagogy, Laws of Sound nnd Physiology and Ilygone of tho Voice. A tenchor thus prepared will have something reliable to teach and not tho "Imagination ol n fertile brain." POPULAR SINGER Tho good tcnciior should hnvo a good volco nnd bo n popular singer. Ho can teach nil tho bettor If ho con whoiv how, ns well as tell how to nlng. Ho should bo bo popular that churches, socials, lodged, concerts, oporns, nnd orntorlos, all Bcok to employ him. Ho should bo henrd frequently In public, oven in a full Song Concert programme, nlono. Do not lonrn to shoot mark from a blind man, or to talk from n dumb mnn, or phyHlcal training from a paralytic, or singing from a tenchor who Is not a good popular singer, ono who meets tho approval of tho public. NATURAL TEACHER Some ono hn'n Bald: "Tho good tenchor is born, not made," which Is cBpcclnlly truo of vocal teachers. Ono mny know over bo much nnd ho nblo to sing magnificently and yet not bo a good tenchor. Thoro must he tho ability of detecting tho needs of a pupil nnd thon tho ability of correcting tho faults by giving tho required Instruction. IIo must also bo nblo to Insplro onorgy nnd confldonco In tho pupil bo as to draw out his vory best effort. STRONG PERSONA LIT Y Nothing that Is weak or offomlnntc can Insplro or direct tho work of tho pupil. Tho good tenchor fchould bo strong and vigorous, with a personality that Htnnds bohlnd tho pupil giving him power to do his best. Tho course of s.udy will bo positive and conclso n proportion to tho porBonal strength' of tho toncher. A weakling for a teacher pro diicos vnsclllutlng phplls nud In such ensos vory llttlo good Ib ever ac complished. FORCEFUL ORGANIZER Tho good toucher should bo nblo to orgnnlzo his pupils nnd tho musical public Into Quartettes, Singing Soclotiett, Oporns, nnd Ora torios, giving many Recitals nnd Concocts, thus giving tho pupils nn op portunity to put Into actual praotlco tho principle studlad In private lossous. Most vocal toaohors give the prlvato loasonB only nnd sond out thnlr pupil, nbiolutoly holploss, whon it comas to taking up tho actual work of a musician. Vocal toaohors should provide this ossontlnl drill for tholr pupils. A REAL SPECIALIST Do not study with a vocnl toachor who tonchoB Volco, Piano, Or gan, Violin, Cornet, otc. otc, or with n mnn who Is In Bomo other busi ness and gives a fow volco lessons on tho sldo, or with n woman who sponds much of hor tlmo with household or socloty dutloH, or with n young lady who Ib passing tho tlm'o nlcoly until ulo gots married, or with an old mnld who Is "cranky" nnd "finicky," but study with n real hpt'clallsi who mnkos vocal trnlnlng his only buslnoss nnd llfo work. MODERN WONDKK Soniotltnos somo girl with u good natural volco, will go "East" nnd study a your or two nnd como back to hor homo town nnd try to nuiko tho peoplo bollevo thnt alio has dovolopod Into n "Modern Won th'r." Whon she sings alio will rnlBO up on hor toos, heavo tho chest, shrug tho shoulders, gazo vacantly nt somo Imaginary spot and roll up hor oyos, so angollc (?) until somo pooplo suppose that this Is truo nrt. Happily, aftor n while, alto loses those "fads" and gets back to singing natural again, DEFINITE COURSE Mnny fachors hnvo n fow Incoherent oxorclses over which thoy hnvo tholr pupils practlco nnd In books thoy skip around singing only horo and thoro nn exorcise, Suph practice is aimless practice and can do but llttlo good, A deflnlto courso should bo followed by all, hut Its ap plication to Individual pupils Is vastly dlfforont.' Some aro lacking In ono thing, Home In unothor, yot tho samo gonornl knowledge must bo mastorod by all who expoct to bo thorough muslclnus. PUPILS PROGRESS It Is snld: "Uy tholr faults yophnll know thorn." Some pupils suc cood In splto of tholr toachors nnd not becauso of thorn. A "star" pupils, always glvon extra help nnd brought to tho front, Is no Index of a tenuhors' ability. WATCH ALL THE PUPILS! If noarly nil nro Improving if from those who know nothing of music, good, rollnhlo nmntour slngors tire dovelo'pcd, the tenchor may be trusted as a safe tenchor. MUSIC COLLEGE It Is host to study In a College of Music, Incorporntod under tho laws of tho state, for Bitch n Collogo will omploy, as a rule, toachors who aro much bettor than local teaohors specialists in on oh depart ment Concort soloists of rocognlted ability Mastorj that only a large school with flnnnolnl backing could nfford to omploy. Thon thero will ho a doflnlto courso of study, regular examinations, Recitals, 'Concerts, Classes, Lectures nnd Dlplomns and Dogreos on tho completion of a proscribed courso of study. There are hundrods of so-callod llttlo musi cal consdrvatorlos that hnvo no chartor from tho state and no legal right to confer diplomas. A diploma from such a school la not worth tho paper on which It Is printed. Tho standing of tho school alono glvos worth to your diploma. tittle tattle No profession Is subject to moro unjust gossip than tho music teachor. Somo times n pupil becomes dlssatlsflod, and thon he heralds broadcast ovory soomlngly fault of tho teachor, magnified a hundred fold. Dut worst of all is tho "Saintly Hypocrlto," who absolutely lies to defamo tho character of somo ono who does not conform to his nar row, bigoted standard. You find a few of such scandal mongers in most churches, In tho Y. M. 0, A., and in unlversltlos. The fact that they attack a teacher is proof that be Is dolus something.

Tho Limit of Llfo. Tho most eminent medical scien tists are unanimous in tho conclu sion that tho generally accepted limi tation of human llfo is many years below tho attainment possible with tho advanced knowledge of which tho race is now possessed. The cri tical period, that determines Us dura tion, seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of tho body during this decado cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to logevlty.
