Boxes of CHLDREN SHOWN [EARNIG NUST King-Smith Demonstration Gives Various Stages of Rhythm Teaching. A demonstration of the work dene in the children’s music classes at King-Smith = Studio-School last week proved a refreshing experi- ence to the large audience that over- flowed the big studio. First came the tiny children of 6 and 7 years in rhyth- mic work, some expressing rhythm with balls, some listening for time signs and time patterns and express- ing these at the blackboard, and oth- ers walking different kinds of time patterns to different moods. The ear work done by these little children also aroused great interest, as they played games in which they recognized by ear any tones played on the piano. Children a little older recognized by ear or sang any interval called for, while the older boys and girls recog- nized or sang chords and cadences. All this “so that ‘we’ may listen in- telligently to music as well as play in- telligently.” Another interesting phase was the work in original composition, Mrs. King-Smith saying that the value of this work lies not only in the fact that it develops the creative side of the children, but also that they use in a very real way all the different sub- jects taken up—intervals, chords, modulation, form, etc.—thus building this knowledge in and making it their own. The tiny children played their own original melodies. In one class Mrs. King-Smith asked the audience if they could tell from their tunes which of the children were born in Russia, and there was a ripple of interest when little Ninitchka and Tonitchka MecCully playved their own lullabys in characteristic Russian minor moods, while those of the other children were 1 melodies were: “My by Finley Wright; by Nelson Jones, and Jane Standifer. Robert Merrit wrote both the words and music of his melody, “A Winter Song.” Herta Cappel played her own “Clock Song,” and Peter Goodwin layed charmingly his composition, “Butterfly,” which he had also har- monized. Du Bois Brookings, Blanche May Goli ayed convincing original mel- , which they had interestingly harmonized. The older classes, having_taken up modulation, and all things being grist to their musical mill, showed truly remarkable work in composition — Leon Kromer in a “Spanish Dance,” Jane Kromer in an amusing “Trom- bone Solo,” Julia Neff in a weird “Indlan Dance,” Leonard Berman in “The North Wind,” “A Spring Song,” played by him and sung by three girls, and a rollicking “Roun sung by all the members of the class, and Mary Josephine Baker, in a “Barca- rolle” of unusual rhythm. Other children who played num- bers memorized and transposed in class, playing them in any key called for by the audience, were Jane and Billy Cassidy, Helen Bloedorn, Clark Henderson, Feodor McCully, Margaret Jones, Katharine and Peter Goodwin, Paul Stoutsenberger, Bar- bara and Mary Martha Golibart, Kin- ney Brookings, Stella Golibart, Andor Cappel, Randal and Walter Connolly, Margaret Clark, Robert Somers, Mar- tin “Henderson, Edith and Billy Townshend, Margaret Jones, Har- riett Haig, Christine Merrit, Phoebe Kent, John Wylie and June Cushing, whose playing of a Chopin “Prelude” was especlally charming. All of the children are developing musical ears and good rhythmical sense; all are learning to express themselves through music, which proves that music is a possibility for all and not for only the talented few. TEACH HOMEMAKING TO ARMENIAN GIRLS American Mission Schools Estab- lish Model But Primitive Vil- lage for Orphans. Correspondence of the Associated Press. ALEXANDROPOL, Russian Ar- menia, May 10.—An initial attempt at the scientific study of home econom- |. ics {s being made in the American orphanage schools here. A model village has been established, in which Armenian girls are taught by actual practice the rudiments of household science. The model village is no modern af- fair of complicated applances and labor-saving contrivances for apart- ment housekeeping. It follows clasely existing conditions in Armenifan vil lages. It is the simplest kind of a practical demonstration of what can be dome with more intelligent use of available materials, adoption of ele- mentary principles of hygiene and sanitation, and the application of bet- ter means and methods of house- wifery. On a plot of two acres of land the orphanage boys have constructed six one-story buildings. using the same building materials as those of the na- tive villages, stone, lime, sand and clay. The arrangement of rooms varies, but in each house a section of the building is walled off from the living rooms for the family cattle. Each house has a native oven bullt into the kitchen, and also a small vegetable garden. The course of study includes cook- ing, housekeeping, weaving, garden. ing, and the care of household ani- mals. The girl students shear their own sheep, wash the wool in the river, dry it in the sun, whip it with switch. es until it becomes fluffy, and spin it into threads on hand spindles. They dye the threads with vegetable dyes which they themselves have gath- ered, and finally they weave it into cloth on hand looms. For the more proficient students there are supplementary courses in botany, soil study, cattle breeding, dairying and elementary physics and chemistry. The American responsible for the model village is Miss Pauline Jordan, a Red Cross nurse, who served in France and who has been with the Near East Relief in Ar- menia for the past two years. MRS.
