A unique program for public school children and one that establishes a precedent in the progress of musical education in Washington was given vesterday afternoon in the basement of the Thomson School, Twelfth and L streets, when a large audience of parents and those interested in musi- cal development listened and watched as more than 150 children appeared in a public demonstration of the success achieved in this, the first year of the classes in fundamental piano instruc- tion, held in_the schools under the direction of Dr. E. C. Barnes. During the program, Dr. Barnes in a short address stated clearly that the plan of the course was to assist parents in ascertaining at small cost the aptitude of their children for one musical instrument or another before going to the expense of buying the child a really fine Instrument to con- tinue with if, in the space of one vear’s_intelligently arranged instruc- tion, he proved sufficiently talented to warrant such expense. Dr. Barnes also showed clearly how much pre- Jiminary training_ in_ the _public schools need not interfere with the work carried on by p e music teachers, but, on the other hand, had proved definitely profitable to such teachers, sending them more pupils with genuine talent and interest in their particular branch of music for thorough continued straining. Gives Another chisses in chord construction, note- reading and rhythmic training is the fact that it gives these children sound basis for developing musical apprecia- tion, so_that in aduit years thev will £o {o the concert hall and be intelll- gent listeners. The method used for these classes is that devised by Dr. W. Otto Miessner of Milwaukee, long assoclated with the problems of music in the public schools. The demonstration vesterday con- sisted of glimpses into the workings af actual ses, where pasteboard Keyboards ned with a real piano and const simple songs on these rords an make music study and a competitive game for the small foll rather than solitary drudgery under a tutor well enough fitted as musical instructor perhaps, but not possessing the innate Jknack of handling children just above kindergarten age, as do the young women who are assistants to the su- pervisor of this work, Miss Edith B. Athey. Swinging, skipping and folk dancing games Showed the uncon- scious sense of rhythm in some of the children and emphasized the need of its development in others. The transposition work in different keys and both vocal and piano Solos, as well as the ensemble work of sev- eral tots the pilanos accompanying the hundred, od others in clear child- ish song, were all interesting fea- tures. The accuracy and each with which the children took part spoke eloquently for the success of this first of such work. Teachers who assisted Miss Athey the demonstration were Herminia Idith M. Haring, Lilllan Karn, a Grimes and Elien Stuart. Children taking part in solo or small group work included Hilda Levin, Elizabeth Long, Marguerite Teachum, Margaret Tolman, Eliza- beth Acker, Rachel Blose,” Ryth Con- Good Training. i J | uable aspect of thesq This picture was taken while he sat on the observation car Copyright by P. & A.

RIO JANEIRO, Brazil, June 11— For the first time in six months Bra- zil's exports of coffee to the United States are booming. A passenger eamer leaving Rio yesterday had 94,000 bags aboard, which shippers say is 'a record coffee cargo for a pas- senger boat. The fight between the American im- porters and Brazilian exporters for lower prices has been ended, at least temporarily, Brazilians say, by a shortage in American stocks, forcing American buyers into the Santos mar- ket for heavy purchases. Shipments from all ports during the first 10 days of this month totaled 477,000 bags, the majority going to the United States, as compared with 400,000 for the entire month of May. Although the Americans’ long with- drawal - from the Brazilian market weakened quotations sufficiently to reduce rates for recent orders, there has been an increase in prices since and consequently the Sao Paulo Co: fee Defense Institute, which had be- gun buying in an effort to hold up the market 1s reported to have discon- tinued its operations. The American coffee mission has completed its examination of planta- tions in the interior of Sao Paulo, and, after a visit of a few days at Santos Is expected to return to Rio to prepare its report.
